UCLA Basketball Still #2 In Both Polls After Wins Over UCSB and Ohio State

UCLA won both games last week to stay undefeated.

NCAA Basketball: Ohio State vs UCLA Stephen R. Sylvanie-USA TODAY Sports

UCLA’s two wins last week allowed the team to maintain their #2 ranking in both College Basketball polls. Compared to last week, the team gained nine points in the AP Poll due to the slow start against Ohio State, and gained five points in the Coaches Poll.

In the AP Poll, North Carolina and Gonzaga switched spots from last week and Indiana dropped from #9 to #16, allowing Creighton and Louisville to both move up a spot in the Top Ten.

In the Coaches Poll, Kentucky jumped two spots back into the Top Five and there was some movement among teams ranked 6th through 10th.

#18 Arizona, #20/21 Oregon and #23/25 Southern Cal continue to be the other Pac-12 schools ranked in the Top 25 in both polls. Meanwhile, both UC Berkeley and Colorado continue to receive votes in the Coaches Poll.
