The sixth seasonal edition of the AP Top 25 men's poll shows little movement.
Arizona maintains its No. 1 ranking, with no changes in the top 10 other than Gonzaga and Houston swapping the No. 7 and No. 8 spots.
And after three new entrants to last week's poll, only one new team makes this week's Top 25: Georgia edged out UCLA.
Let's go over the stats highlights and next game for each of the top 25 teams.
All times Eastern. All statistics courtesy of ESPN Research unless otherwise noted.
