The Iowa State men remain a firm No. 3 in the latest AP and Coaches Poll Top 25s, released on Monday.
Once again, the Cyclones sit behind unbeaten Tennessee and one-loss Auburn, who handed Iowa State its lone loss of the year.
The Cyclones improved to 12-1 with a convincing Big 12 Conference win over Baylor this past weekend, who dropped out of the Top 25.
Duke is fourth and Alabama fifth to complete a consensus Top 5 among the two polls.
Things change at No. 6, as Kentucky climbed four spots to that position in the AP Poll while it belongs to Marquette in the Coaches Poll. The Wildcats, who won a high-scoring affair over Florida, and Golden Eagles – who Iowa State topped earlier this year – flip the same two spots with Florida at eighth.
Defending two-time national champion Connecticut has climbed its way back to the Top 10, entering it at No. 9 in the AP while sitting 10th in the Coaches. Texas A&M flips those same two spots with the Huskies.
Cincinnati, Arkansas and Baylor all dropped out of the AP Poll while the Bearcats, Bears and Maryland fell from the Coaches rankings.
Kansas is 11th in the AP Poll followed by Houston while West Virginia is ranked 21st. In the Coaches, the Cougars are 11th, Jayhawks 12th and Mountaineers 23rd.
