Latest AP men’s basketball poll released, B1G still with 4 teams in Top 25

The first Associated Press Poll of 2022 is out.

Monday, the AP released the latest Top 25 for the men’s basketball season. The B1G is still sitting with 4 teams in the rankings, led by Purdue which sits at No. 3. Michigan State is also inside the Top 10 at the No. 10 spot.

College basketball has undergone some issues over the past few weeks with multiple games being canceled or postponed because of the COVID-19 pandemic. That has made it a little more difficult to rank teams over the past few weeks.

Hopefully, that trend comes to an end sometime soon.

#1 Baylor

#2 Duke

#3 Purdue

#4 Gonzaga

#5 UCLA

#6 Kansas

#7 USC
