Duke, North Carolina fall as Gonzaga remains No. 1 in Paste BN Sports men's basketball poll

It was an odd week in men’s college basketball, in which the top two teams in last week's poll were unable to take the court due to COVID-19 issues. As such, there are few changes at the top of the Paste BN Sports coaches poll.

Gonzaga retains the top spot with 24 of 32 first-place votes, followed by No. 2 Baylor with six first-place votes

Iowa, which was able to play and picked up a couple of impressive wins, remains No. 3 and adds a second first-place vote to it resume. Michigan State, Kansas and Villanova in the next three spots also are unchanged.

West Virginia moves up to No. 7, leapfrogging No. 8 Houston. Creighton slips a couple of positions to No. 9. Tennessee vaults six places to round out the top 10.
