Maryland men's basketball moves to No. 3 in national rankings

Maryland moved up to No. 3 Monday in the Associated Press media poll and the USA Today Sports coaches’ poll. The 13-3 Terps were ranked third to start the season.

With previously top-ranked Michigan State losing last week for the first time, Big 12 rivals Kansas (12-1) and Oklahoma (12-0) were voted separately as the No. 1 team in the respective polls.

The Jayhawks ae No. 1 in the AP poll and the Sooners are No. 1 in the USA Today Sports poll.

The 14-1 Spartans, who lost at Iowa before winning at Minnesota, are still playing star forward Denzel Valentine, who is expected back soon after undergoing arthroscopic surgery last month.
