The Butler University men’s basketball team jumped to No. 16 in this week’s Associated Press Top 25 poll after wins on the road against the University of Utah and at home against the University of Central Arkansas.

The Bulldogs reached the national rankings for the first time last week at No. 18 after an undefeated start to the season. Currently, Butler is one of 11 Division I teams still undefeated. This is the best start to a season for Butler since 2008.
