Michigan Basketball’s Latest Thumping Inches It Closer to No. 1 Ranking

Poll released Monday indicated Arizona Wildcats topped the AP Top 25 with 38 first-place votes, while Michigan Wolverines gained 19 votes, narrowing the points gap to within 20.
After last week's victories, Michigan Wolverines' 102-point win over LaSalle was their fifth in six games, with Arizona Wildcats winning six straight by at least 20 points.
Texas Tech made the largest move up the poll, rising four spots after rallying from a 17-point deficit to beat Duke Blue Devils, while USC and Iowa boosted the Big Ten Conference's presence.
The next Top 25 will be released Jan. 5, with Iowa State receiving one first-place vote while UConn and Purdue round out the top five.
The poll showed volatility when the Southeastern Conference dropped to six ranked teams after Auburn fell out, matching the Big 12 while Louisville tumbled five spots.
