LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) — Iowa State. Marquette. Kansas. Michigan. UConn. Gonzaga. Memphis. Oregon. Utah State. And a long list of Southeastern Conference teams.
That’s the list of ranked men’s college basketball teams that lost at least one game last week.
Time to shuffle the teams and file another weekly ballot in the Associated Press Top 25 poll.
1. Auburn (17-1) — Freshman guard Tahaad Pettiford, a 44% three-point shooter, carried the Tigers past Georgia. They’re off until Tennessee visits Saturday.
2. Duke (16-2) — Only one ACC team has come within 10 points of the Blue Devils. Can Wake Forest become the second?
3. Houston (14-3) — The Cougars escaped at UCF but they’re the only unbeaten team in Big 12 play.
4. Michigan State (16-2) — The Spartans have won 11 straight since losing to Memphis in Maui.
5. Alabama (15-3) — Lose at home to Ole Miss. Win at Kentucky. Welcome to the SEC.
6. Iowa State (15-2) — The Cyclones discovered that even without Bob Huggins around, it’s not easy to win in Morgantown.
7. Florida (16-2) — The Gators rebounded from that one-point loss to Missouri by blitzing Texas.
8. Purdue (15-4) — The Boilermakers swept their West Coast road trip and now get three straight games in Mackey Arena.
9. Kentucky (14-4) — The Wildcats’ trip to Vanderbilt appears more daunting after the Commodores toppled Tennessee.
10. Tennessee (16-2) — I did not expect the Vols to get court-stormed by Vanderbilt.
11. Marquette (15-3) — The Golden Eagles gave up first place in the Big East by losing a home game to Xavier.
12. Michigan (14-4) — Losing an overtime game at Minnesota was a bad misstep but the Wolverines dodged another upset against Northwestern.
13. Kansas (13-4) — The Jayhawks’ sporadic offense did not show up at Iowa State.
14. Wisconsin (15-3) — The streaking Badgers got the first game in their West Coast trip by winning at USC. Can they get UCLA Tuesday?
15. Texas A&M (14-4) — The Aggies snapped their two-game losing streak by handling LSU but face road games with Ole Miss and Texas this week.
16. Mississippi State (15-3) — The Bulldogs ended their two-game losing streak by handling Ole Miss in overtime.
17. Illinois (13-5) — The Illini looked Final Four quality at Indiana and nearly toppled Michigan State in East Lansing.
18. Ole Miss (15-3) — The Rebels could not back up their win by Alabama by winning at Mississippi State. Who could?
19. St. John’s (16-3) — Wins over Georgetown and Seton Hall put Rick Pitino’s team atop the Big East.
20. Louisville (14-5) — As Virginia coach Ron Sanchez said Saturday, “(Louisville) is the hottest team in the league right now.”
21. Oregon (15-3) — The Ducks discovered that beating Purdue is a challenge, even at home.
22. Texas Tech (13-4) — Darrion Williams is one of the best players in the Big 12.
23. Missouri (15-3) — The Tigers have won four straight SEC games after losing their opener to Auburn.
24. West Virginia (13-4) — The Mountaineers have wins over Kansas, Iowa State and Gonzaga.
25. Clemson (15-4) — Road wins at Georgia Tech and Pitt enabled the Tigers to keep pace with Louisville in the ACC.
