Down goes No. 1, again. For the fourth time in 11 weeks, college basketball’s top-ranked team has been upset. Kur Jongkuch pinned a Houston shot off the backboard with less than five seconds remaining to help Temple take down Houston 56-55 on the Cougs’ homecourt.

It’s the second time this season Houston has lost the No. 1 spot, falling at home to Alabama in December. The top spot in tomorrow’s AP Poll will either go to the Crimson Tide or Purdue after Kansas took back-to-back losses this week. TCU dismantled the Jayhawks by 26 on Saturday.
