The latest top 25 Associated Press Men’s basketball rankings are out. The only new member to the AP’s Top 25 is Virginia Tech, which beat Duke 89-75. The Hokies (12-1) jump in at No. 21, their first ranking since the opening week of the 2010-11 season.
Virginia Tech’s win against the Blue Devils put the Hokies into the poll and gave the ACC seven ranked teams in the month of January for the first time in its history. It’s also the first time Virginia Tech, which visits North Carolina State on Wednesday night, has been ranked since November 2010.
