For the first time in five years, the CU Buffs men’s basketball team is ranked.
The Buffs entered the AP Top 25 poll Monday three days after beating Arizona State 81-71 in a non-conference game at Shanghai, China. It marks the first time CU has been ranked since a six-week period during the 2013-14 season.
Meanwhile, a familiar face is at the top after Kentucky climbed to No. 1.
The Wildcats rose one spot after winning a 1-vs-2 matchup with Michigan State to open the season in the Champions Classic, followed by an easy win against Eastern Kentucky.
