Even though Kansas split matchups against Top 25 teams last week, the Jayhawks slipped out of the Top 5 to #7.
Oklahoma and North Carolina retained the top spots in the AP and Coaches polls, respectively. For the first time in more than 8 years, Duke is nowhere to be found in the rankings. (Ok, that's not completely true as they're still receiving votes.)
As for the rest of the Big 12, Iowa State checks in at #13, West Virginia dropped out of the Top 10 to #14, and Baylor sits at #15. Texas is receiving votes in both polls.
#21 Wichita State is on cruise control as they look to go unbeaten in the Valley for the second time in the last three years.
