The Xavier Musketeers (25-4, 13-3 in the Big East) moved up to a program-best No. 3, while the Cincinnati Bearcats (25-4, 14-2 in the AAC) climbed to No. 10 in the latest AP Top 25 - two weeks after the two teams appeared together in the top 5 of the AP poll for the first time ever.
Last week, Xavier ranked No. 4 in the AP poll, and the Bearcats ranked No. 11.
The two teams spent four consecutive weeks together in the top 10 after appearing in January among the top 10 teams in the poll for the first time since 1958.
