Merry Christmas!
No changes into or out of the Associated Press Top 25 this week. The Big East Conference continues to have four ranked teams: Villanova retained the #1 spot for the third consecutive week, followed by Xavier (up three slots to #6), Seton Hall (remaining at #23) and Creighton (remaining at #25). Biggest drops this week belong to Miami (Florida), down nine slots to #15 after losing to New Mexico State in the Diamond Head Classic in Honolulu, and to Kentucky, down nine slots to #16 after losing to UCLA in Chicago. North Carolina fell eight slots to #13 after losing at home to Wofford, and Gonzaga dropped eight slots to #20 after losing at San Diego State.
