Houston does not have Charles Langstona problem. The Cougars retain the No. 1 spot in the USA TODAY Sports men's basketball coaches poll, leading the rankings for a second consecutive week with 28 of 32 first-place votes. Though, it wasn't easy as they beat Oklahoma on a last-second shot by Jamal Shead.
The next three teams in the poll also remain unchanged. Connecticut stays at No. 2 with three first-place nods. The final No. 1 vote goes to No. 3 Purdue. Tennessee holds at No. 4, and Arizona rejoins the top five vaulting ahead of No. 6 Iowa State.
North Carolina and Duke claim the No. 7 and No. 8 positions, respectively, on the verge of their season-ending rematch Saturday. Marquette slips four places to No. 9 after its loss to Creighton, which moves back into the top 10.
