Arizona falls to 9th as Indiana remains the top ranked team
Reporter: Jason Barr, Sports Director
TUCSON (KGUN9-TV) Indiana remains at No. 1 in The Associated Press' Top 25 despite losing a game this week, surviving a week of upsets to become the first team in over a month to hold onto the top ranking.
The Hoosiers (21-3) lost to Illinois on a last-second basket Thursday but rebounded with a win at Ohio State on Sunday. In a week when four of the top five teams and six of the top 10 lost, it was enough to keep the No. 1 ranking.
It ends a stretch of five consecutive weeks with a new No. 1, two weeks short of the longest such stretch in 1993-94. Duke started the run followed by Louisville, Duke again, Michigan and Indiana.
The University of Arizona dropped from 7th to 9th after being upset at home by California on Sunday Night. The Wildcats visit Colorado and Utah this week.
