The Wolf Pack totaled 1,230 points in the prestigious media poll, finishing behind only Kansas, Kentucky, Gonzaga, Duke, Virginia, and Tennessee. Each of those teams received at least one first-place vote; Nevada did not have a first-place vote.
Monday's poll was the first AP Top 25 of the season.
The seventh-place ranking is the highest in school history. Nevada's previous best ranking was ninth, on Feb. 26, 2007.
