IU Men's Basketball Ranked Third In Highest Ranking Since 2013

Indiana University men's basketball (3-0) is ranked third in the Associated Press college basketball poll, moving up three places since the last poll.

This is the Hoosiers' highest ranking since they were third in the next-to-last poll of 2012-13.

Kentucky moves into the No. 1 spot, replacing Duke, which dropped to sixth following its final-seconds loss to Kansas in the Champions Classic.

The Wildcats (4-0), who also beat then-No. 13 Michigan State in the Champions Classic, received 42 first-place votes from the 65-member national media panel in the poll released Monday. Kentucky was ranked No. 1 for two weeks last season.

Defending national champion Villanova (5-0) moved up one spot to second with 21 No. 1 votes following a four-win week that included one at then-No. 15 Purdue.

North Carolina moved up one place to fourth and was followed by Kansas, Duke, Virginia, Arizona, Xavier and Louisville.
