Kansas (5-0) stayed at No. 1, followed by two-time reigning champion UConn (4-0), Gonzaga (5-0), Auburn (4-0) and Iowa State (3-0). Tennessee (6-0) jumped four spots into No. 7, and Marquette (6-0) made a five-spot improvement to No. 10.

Kansas played just once last week, earning an 84-66 victory at home over UNC Wilmington. The Jayhawks will be put the test with a matchup against No. 11 Duke (4-1) on Tuesday at Las Vegas.

Tennessee earned two impressive victories in the Bahamas last week, 64-42 over Virginia and 77-62 over then-No. 13 Baylor to win the Baha Mar Championship. Marquette knocked off then-No. 6 Purdue 76-58 on Tuesday at Milwaukee and also had an 80-69 victory over Georgia on Saturday at Nassau, Bahamas.

Falling out of the top 10 were North Carolina (3-1), which dropped two spots to No. 12 and Purdue (5-1), which dropped seven places to No. 13. Indiana (4-0) climbed two spots to No. 14 and Wisconsin (7-0) moved up four spots to No. 15.
