"The first four remained unchanged with UConn still No. 1, receiving 28 first-place votes and No. 2 Texas getting the other four. South Carolina and UCLA followed while Oklahoma moved up to fifth, the Sooners' highest ranking since they were fourth in the final poll of 2009. Kentucky and Vanderbilt each rose five spots to sixth and seventh, respectively, after each knocking off then-No. 5 LSU in consecutive games. The Wildcats edged LSU 80-78 on a last-second shot."
"Vanderbilt has not been in the top 10 since it was seventh on March 12, 2007. Vandy's 65-61 win over LSU on Sunday was its first against a top five team in 17 years. The Tigers, one of seven unbeaten teams to lose over the last week, plummeted to 12th. Maryland fell one spot to eighth after losing to Illinois, its first defeat of the season. Michigan dropped two places to ninth after a loss at Washington, which re-entered the Top 25 at No. 23."
