The Cougars reclaim their crown! 👑 Before this season, the Cougars (16-1) hadn't been No. 1 since the high-flying 'Phi Slama Jama' days of the 1980s.
Whose house? More like whose poll? The Houston Cougars sit atop the college basketball world, and that has students on campus fired up.
The Cougars received 34 of 60 first-place votes in Monday's poll to return to the top after a two-week stay there earlier this season. Kansas was second and had 22 first-place votes, while Purdue fell from No. 1 to No. 3 and got the other four first-place votes after suffering its first loss at Rutgers last week.
Kansas State jumped to No. 11 after an impressive week with two road wins against ranked opponents under first-year coach Jerome Tang. Picked to finish last in the 10-team Big 12, the Wildcats scored 116 points at Texas then edged Baylor 97-95 in overtime.
