Lots of movement in the power rankings this week as teams like UConn and Houston begin making a surge toward the conference tournament. Of course the biggest outcome was when SMU topped Cincinnati in the premiere game of the season in the American Athletic Conference, pushing the Mustangs up to the top spot for the first time all season. At the bottom of the bracket, USF picked up its first conference win to set the stage for an epic battle for the basement against Tulane this week. Let’s see how everyone else fared.
No. 11 USF (7-17, 1-12) (LW 11)
USF snapped a 12-game losing streak by beating East Carolina 64-57 on Saturday.
