The Top 25 underwent a major overhaul last week after 14 ranked teams lost, including seven of the top 10.
More changes are on the way after a wild Saturday of upsets and takedowns.
Six of the top 10 teams lost, including Nos. 2 and 3 at home to unranked teams — a first in the 69-year history of the AP poll, according to ESPN Stats.
The day opened with Iowa State knocking off No. 2 Kansas 92-89 at Allen Fieldhouse. The Cyclones’ victory, made possible by a school-record 18 3-pointers, bolstered their NCAA Tournament hopes and ended the Jayhawks’ home winning streak at 51 games.
“They played with house money today,” Kansas coach Bill Self said. “I’m sure Steve would say the same thing. They came in here with a free mind and said, ‘Let’s just let it go.'”
ROSELLE, N.J. — Trevon Duval returned to New Jersey this weekend for a pair of games in front of family and friends just as his recruitment is heating up.
The 6-foot-3 point guard is considering Arizona, Baylor, Duke, Kansas and Seton Hall and was coming off an official visit to Kansas. Following Sunday’s game against New Jersey power The Patrick School, Duval will head on his second official visit to Duke beginning Tuesday. He will be on campus for Thursday’s huge rivalry game against North Carolina.
“Next I’m visiting Duke, I’m going down there Feb. 8th,” Duval said after going for 12 points as IMG Academy (FL) beat Our Savior New American, 65-44, in the Tom Richel Memorial Hoopfest at Roselle Catholic High School.
“That was most convenient, I really wanted to go to that Carolina-Duke game, actually. That’s how I planned that.”
Monte Morris, Deonte Burton and the Iowa State Cyclones did something on Saturday that no Big 12 team has done in four years.
They beat Kansas at Allen Field house.
Iowa State beat Kansas, 92-89, in overtime to snap a 54-game home winning streak for the Jayhawks (20-3, 8-2 Big 12). It was Kansas’ first home loss since falling to San Diego State on Jan. 15, 2014 and their first conference loss since Marcus Smart and Oklahoma State won at Kansas on Feb. 2, 2013.
It was also Iowa State’s first win at Allen Field House since 2005 and Kansas.
Oregon now holds the longest home winning streak in the nation at 39.
