Purdue Climbs to #3 Ahead of Saturday Battle With #1 Arizona; Women’s Top-10 Stays Steady as Gamecocks Hold Top Spot

A slow and steady push into the holiday season will start to bring conference games to the forefront, but the early slate in college basketball has separated the elites from the pretenders. We’re ten games in, and we’re learning who’s who. This weekend features big games with #5 UConn at #10 Gonzaga (Fri. 10:00 pm ET), #1 Arizona at #3 Purdue (Saturday, 4:30 pm ET), and a fun one between #9 UNC and #14 Kentucky (Saturday, 5:30 pm ET). There are no top-10 battles in women’s hoops in the week ahead, so we could see the same top-10 (again) next week.
