St. John's and Louisville ascended to their highest standings in the AP Top 25 poll this season, climbing to No. 6 and No. No. 14, respectively. The Johnnies clinched the Big East championship with a win over Seton Hall this weekend and the Cardinals won their 17th game in the last 18 outings on Saturday with a home win over Pittsburgh.

The only teams this week that remain in the same spots as last week are Auburn (No. 1), Duke (No. 2) and Michigan State (No. 8). The top five remain the same, but Houston and Tennessee jump up third and fourth, respectively, as Florida slides to No. 5.

No. 3 Houston moved up a spot after beating Texas Tech and Cincinnati, while Tennessee climbed to No. 4 following Jahmai Mashack’s last-second 3-pointer from well beyond halfcourt to beat Alabama 79-76. Florida rounded out the top five, dropping two places after losing to Georgia and beating Texas A&M.
