Men’s basketball: CU Buffs move up to No. 18 in AP top 25
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — The hot start compiled by the Colorado men’s basketball team continues to draw national attention.
Prior to the Buffaloes tilt against Richmond on Monday night at the Sunshine Slam, CU learned it had moved up to No. 18 in this week’s Associated Press top 25. The Buffs made their season debut in the poll last week at No. 25.
The Buffs received 241 points in this week’s poll, a substantial increase from the 78 points CU collected a week ago. The Buffs played just once last week, routing Milwaukee 106-79 at home. The seven-spot jump marked the second largest week-to-week increase for CU in the program’s history in the AP top 25. The 2019-20 squad jumped eight spots, from No. 24 to No. 16, in February of that season.
The top nine spots remained unchanged, with No. 1 Kansas reaping 52 of 61 first-place votes.
