A week of holiday tournaments produced a slew of changes in the USA TODAY Sports men’s basketball coaches poll, including a new No. 1 team.
Purdue’s impressive showing in the Maui Invitational helped them move into the top spot. With three top-10 wins, the Boilermakers are the unanimous choice heading all 32 ballots.
Arizona moves into the No. 2 spot, followed by Marquette at No. 3. The Golden Eagles lost to Purdue in the title game in Hawaii but move up two spots in the poll thanks to upsetting previous No. 1 Kansas in the same event. Connecticut stays put at No. 4 and Houston moves up a spot to No. 5. The Jayhawks slip to No. 6. Duke, Miami (Fla.), Baylor and Gonzaga round out the top 10 as Tennessee falls to No. 11 after two losses in the same Maui tournament.

Other newcomers to the poll this week are No. 19 BYU and No. 23 James Madison.
Virginia, Colorado, Memphis and UCLA fall out.
