For the first time since March 1984, the Houston men’s basketball team made it into the top five of the AP Poll on Monday morning.
The Cougars (7-0, 2-0 American Athletic Conference) are coming off two conference wins on Tuesday and Saturday.
A 76-50 win over Temple and a 63-54 victory over the UCF Knights helped push UH into the AP top five.
Then No. 4 Iowa’s 102-95 overtime loss to Minnesota also played a factor in helping UH move to No. 5 in the AP Poll.
