The Spartans, for their part, rose from #13 to #3. Iowa State also jumped KU, coming from #7 to #4. Kentucky rose to the #1 spot after North Carolina took a tumble in Cedar Falls, IA, against Northern Iowa; the Tar Heels fell to #9.
Another major mover was Wichita State, who fell from #9 to #20 after dropping their matchup at Tulsa.
