The South Carolina men’s basketball team dropped out of the latest Associated Press Top 25 poll announced Monday.
The Gamecocks, 17-2, were ranked 24th last week in the AP poll. USC, which lost at Tennessee, 78-69, on Saturday, remained at No. 22 in the coaches’ poll this week.
Oklahoma, despite losing to Iowa State last week, remained No. 1 in AP poll. Unlike last week, when the Sooners were a unanimous No. 1, North Carolina is a close second.
Oklahoma (16-2) received 36 first-place votes from the 65-member national media panel on Monday, seven more than the Tar Heels (18-2), who remained second.
