For the week of Jan. 29, the Villanova Wildcats remained at No. 1 for the fourth straight week.
The Virginia Cavaliers move up to No. 2 after its two wins against ranked teams last week, having held No. 18 Clemson to 36 points — 13 in the second half — in a 25-point victory and shut down one of the nation’s top offenses in a 65-63 win over Duke, their 12th straight victory. The team is off to their best conference start since the Sampson-led 1980-81 team won its first 12 games. Virginia has not been ranked No. 1 since 1981-82, a team also centered by Sampson.
At No. 3, the Purdue Boilermakers (21-2, 10-0 Big Ten) held onto its highest ranking since 2009-10 by extending the nation’s current longest winning streak to 17 games.
After a one-week absence from the Associated Press Top 25 poll, the Kentucky Wildcats are back in (at No. 21) following victories over Mississippi State and No. 7 West Virginia in the Big 12/SEC Challenge.
The following is the Week 13 men’s college basketball regular season schedule featuring the Top 25 teams (according to the weekly Associated Press poll), including dates, start times, TV networks and scheduled announcers. All times Eastern.
