Kansas strengthened its grip on No. 1 in the AP Top 25.
The rest of the top 10 turned into a jumble of teams swapping places.
The Jayhawks picked up five first-place votes in The Associated Press men's college basketball poll released on Monday, receiving 49 from a 61-person media panel. No. 2 UConn had seven first-place votes, No. 3 Gonzaga earned two and No. 4 Auburn three. Iowa State climbed two spots to round out the top five.
The shuffling started with No. 8 Alabama's 87-78 loss to No. 6 Purdue, a game that dropped the Crimson Tide six spots and bumped the Boilermakers up seven. Losses by Duke and Arizona shook up the top 10 further.
