CBS Sports overhauls Top 25 And 1 rankings after action-packed college basketball Saturday
After several marquee college basketball matchups Saturday, CBS Sports has updated its Top 25 And 1 rankings. Kansas was the biggest mover, jumping up 10 spots to No. 5 after handing Indiana an 84-62 loss to knock the Hoosiers down to No. 16 in CBS’ rankings.
Kansas wasn’t the only team to move into the top five, however. Arizona also jumped from No. 8 to No. 4 after a 75-70 victory against Tennessee, the No. 13 team in CBS Sports’ Top 25 And 1. It was the fourth win against a ranked opponent this season for the Wildcats, who shot 24-of-27 (88.9%) from the free throw line and saw four players score in double figures.
Purdue remains the No. 1 team after defeating Davidson 69-61 to improve to 11-0. Connecticut comes in at the No. 2 spot, while Houston is No. 3.

Finally, North Carolina moved back into the fold as well after Saturday. The Tar Heels began the season ranked No. 1 in most polls, but eventually fell out after losing four straight games from late November to early this month. However, UNC has now won three straight games, including a gritty 89-84 overtime against Ohio State on Saturday.
