The holiday week in men’s college basketball was fairly quiet, but a few significant results produced some changes in the USA TODAY Sports coaches poll, including a big move by one of last year’s surprise Final Four participants.
Purdue retains the top spot for another week. The Boilermakers received 24 of 32 No. 1 votes to stay ahead of an unchanged top five. Kansas remains at No. 2, picking up a single first-place nod, and Houston stays at No. 3, just nine points behind the Jayhawks, despite being at No. 1 on seven ballots.
Arizona, the former No. 1 team, holds steady at No. 4, though the Wildcats fell in a double-overtime thriller to Florida Atlantic. The voters didn’t punish Arizona but rewarded the Owls with a big jump from No. 12 to No. 6, their highest position since ending last season at No. 5 following their run to the national semifinals.

The lone newcomer to the poll is Providence, making its season debut at No. 25. Virginia drops out.
