The Arizona Wildcats are on a tear to begin the 2025 college basketball season, and they’re being rewarded because of it.
Their latest triumph—an upset win over UConn in Storrs last Wednesday—saw ‘Zona not only jumped two spots in the latest AP Top 25 poll, but also forced Huskies coach Dan Hurley into one of his classic postgame press conference moments. The Wildcats are now the No. 2 team in the country through three weeks.
Elsewhere in college hoops, Tom Izzo and Michigan State jumped six spots thanks to their win over Kentucky—one that saw Mark Pope's Wildcats drop from No. 11 to 19—the Kansas Jayhawks fell out of the Top 25 after their 12-point loss to Duke, and USC gave us our first great buzzer-beater of the year with a last-second win over Troy in triple overtime.
And just like that, we’re into Week 4 of the 2025 college basketball season. Here’s a complete look at the latest AP Top 25:
