Iowa, now 10-3, has climbed to #23 in this week’s Associated Press men’s basketball poll.
Gonzaga remains atop the poll following a light holiday schedule. The Zags did not play last week and received 63 first-place votes from a 65-member media panel.
No. 2 Duke and No. 3 Kansas each had one first-place vote, with Oregon and Ohio State rounding out the top five. Oregon moved into the top five for the first time since 2016-17, when the Ducks went to the Final Four.
The Buckeyes dropped three spots after losing 67-59 to West Virginia. The Mountaineers climbed six places to No. 16. No. 24 Wichita State moved into the AP Top 25 for the first time since the 2017-18 season.
