Winners of four-consecutive games, the Texas Tech basketball team rose one spot in the Top 25 Monday to sit at No. 14. The Red Raiders are the second-highest ranked Big 12 team behind No. 12 Kansas, which visits Lubbock on Saturday. Iowa State (No. 19 in the Associate Press Poll and No. 20 in the Coaches Poll) and Kansas State (No. 23 in the A.P. and No. 21 in the Coaches) are the only other teams from the conference in this week’s rankings.
Overall, Duke is the new No. 1 team in both polls. Gonzaga, Virginia, Kentucky and Tennessee round out the top five.
