Tennessee is the last remaining undefeated team in the nation.

Tennessee tightened its grip on No. 1 in the AP Top 25 on Monday following a pair of lopsided wins, including one over SEC rival Arkansas, that left the Volunteers as the only undefeated team in men's Division I college basketball. The Vols picked up four more first-place votes and had 45 of 60 from the national panel to remain atop the poll for the fifth straight week. Auburn earned the other 15 first-place nods and stayed at No. 2, while Iowa State, Duke and Alabama rounded out a top five that was unchanged following the first week of conference play for many leagues around the country.

Tennessee keeps hold of the No. 1 spot in the USA TODAY Sports men's college basketball poll for the fifth consecutive week. Kansas fell from top 10.

Sean Jones hasn’t played since injuring his right knee in a loss to Butler on Jan. 10, 2024.

Jon Scheyer also said it was valuable watching his team, ranked No. 4 in last week’s AP Top 25, beat SMU 89-62 from a different perspective.

West Virginia sophomore Sencire Harris has never let his offense affect the other areas of his game.

Michigan Wolverines went 2-0 last week with victories over Western Kentucky and USC to help improve potential seeding in 2025 NCAA March Madness.

The SEC is in prime position to send a record amount of teams to the NCAA men's tournament, while the Big Ten doesn't have any clear title contenders.
