Yet another slate of college basketball came and went this week as we slowly approach the New Year, and while we still have the same No. 1 in the latest AP Top 25 poll, Nebraska continues to soar amid their 11–0 start to the season.
With their upset victory over Illinois, the Cornhuskers sit alone in first place in the Big Ten standings and are now ranked No. 15 in the country, eight spots higher than they were a week ago.
Elsewhere in college hoops, we were blessed with an electric call of the Indiana vs. Kentucky game on Saturday by none other than Charles Barkley and Dick Vitale, BYU took down Clemson in comeback fashion in the Jimmy V Classic (while star AJ Dybantsa reiterated his standing in the upcoming NBA draft), and Dan Hurley relayed a kind message to Florida before eeking out a tight win over them in a March Madness rematch from MSG.
And just like that, we’re onto Week 7 in college basketball. Here’s a complete look at the latest AP Top 25 poll:
