The University of Cincinnati has made the Associated Press Top 25 poll for the first time this season coming in at No. 25.
Last year's 31-5 Bearcats were ranked all season long, finishing 12th in the USA TODAY/Coaches Poll after falling short against Nevada in round two of the NCAA tournament.
In the 2017-18 AP poll, they finished at No. 6 going into the tournament and made it as high as No. 5 in February 2018.
Minus two players that went to the NBA (Jacob Evans III to Golden State, Gary Clark to Houston) and Kyle Washington who plays in the NBA G-League, UC has received votes in seven of the polling weeks but didn't crack the top 25 until today.
