UConn remained No. 1 and Purdue No. 2 in the latest Associated Press Top 25, released Monday, but the rest of the poll was muddied after a second straight week of upsets and the unexpected.

The Huskies (17-2), the reigning national champions, received 44 of the 61 first-place votes. The Boilermakers (17-2) nabbed the other 17.

A loss to West Virginia by last week's No. 3 Kansas gave the rest of the top five -- No. 3 North Carolina (15-3), No. 4 Houston (16-2) and No. 5 Tennessee (14-4) -- a chance to move up one spot.

The bottom half of the top 10 saw plenty of movement.

Kentucky (14-3) jumped two places to No. 6, while Kansas (15-3) fell four places to No. 7. No. 8 Auburn (16-2) rose five spots and was followed by Arizona (14-4) and Illinois (14-4), which climbed three and four spots, respectively.

Duke (13-4) dropped five places to No. 12 after being upset on its home court by Pitt, and No. 15 Baylor (14-4) and No. 19 Memphis (15-4) plunged six and nine spots, respectively, after two straight losses.

No. 16 Dayton (15-2) and No. 20 Texas Tech (15-3) both moved up five places.

Back in the Top 25 this week was No. 24 Colorado State (15-3), while No. 25 New Mexico (16-3) joined for the first time this season.

Falling out were TCU and Ole Miss after a pair of defeats.

The rest of the Top 25:

11. Oklahoma

12. Duke

13. Wisconsin

14. Marquette

15. Baylor

16. Dayton

17. Creighton

18. Utah State

19. Memphis

20. Texas Tech

21. BYU

22. Florida Atlantic
