For the third time this season Purdue will host the No. 25 team in America according to the AP Poll. Maryland and Iowa were both at No. 25 when Purdue played them at home, and that is where Indiana will be on Saturday. The Hoosiers stayed in after an 0-2 week on the road and Purdue still hung on to a few votes this week after winning at Wisconsin.

  1. Duke (36) 1,558
  2. Michigan (9) 1,497
  3. Tennessee (13) 1,482
  4. Virginia (6) 1,473
  5. Gonzaga 1,315
  6. Michigan State 1,292
  7. Kansas 1,188
  8. Texas Tech 1,157
  9. Virginia Tech 1,091
  10. Nevada 1,015
  11. Florida State 918
  12. Kentucky 790
  13. North Carolina 678
  14. Auburn 669
  15. Marquette 668
  16. Buffalo 625
  17. North Carolina State 586
  18. Mississippi 501
  19. Maryland 412
  20. Oklahoma 394
  21. Houston 387
  22. Villanova 300
  23. Iowa 172
  24. Mississippi State 154
  25. Indiana 116

Purdue hung on to 16 votes this week, which is good enough for 32nd. As usual, there are several Big Ten teams also receiving votes such as Nebraska, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Ohio State. We also now have two wins already over current top 25 teams in Maryland and Iowa.

With a pair of home games this week hopefully we can make a move back into the poll with two wins.
