Syracuse (WSYR-TV / AP) - The Syracuse Orange men's basketball team is ranked No. 6 for the second week in the Associated Press' Top 25 poll.
Meanwhile,
SU inched up one spot in the ESPN/USA Today Coaches poll to No. 5.
The Orange
topped Princeton 73-53 at the Dome on Wednesday and
beat Colgate 87-51 at home on Sunday.
Indiana is still No. 1, but the holiday weekend tournaments caused a lot of change below.
Duke moved up to take Louisville's old spot at No. 2 after beating the Cardinals in the championship game of the Battle 4 Atlantis. Michigan moved up one place to third. Ohio State is ranked fourth in both polls.
Louisville fell to No. 5 in the Associated Press poll and No. 6 in the coaches' poll. Florida, Kentucky, Arizona, and Kansas rounded out the coaches poll's top 10.
There were four newcomers to the Top 25 on Monday, all ranked in the last five: Georgetown, Minnesota, Illinois and New Mexico.
Indiana received 47 first-place votes from the 65-member national media panel, 29 more than Duke, which jumped three places.
The teams that dropped out were UCLA, which was 11th, and Memphis, both of which lost two games last week. Connecticut and Baylor fell out after losing once.
