Arizona State was picked to finish sixth in the Pac-12. Now the Sun Devils are one of the biggest surprises in college basketball, inching toward the program’s first No. 1 ranking.
ASU moved up two spots to No. 3 in the AP Top 25 released on Monday, leapfrogging preseason No. 1 Duke. The No. 3 position matches the Sun Devils' highest ranking, matching the accomplishments of the 1981 and 1963 ASU teams.
The Sun Devils, like last week, received first-place votes in the poll.
The Sun Devils are coming off a 76-64 win on Sunday over Vanderbilt and are 10-0 for the first time ever.
