After starting their season ranked in the top 25 preseason poll, the Washington Huskies Men’s Basketball Team finally broke into the top 25.

With an undefeated record at home and a 13-1 conference record, some analysts across the nation still haven’t fully bought into the Huskies.

This past Saturday, the Huskies clinched a share of the Pac-12 Regular Season Title when they beat Colorado 64-55 at home.

Here are the top 25 teams in the nation this week for the AP (Associated Press) Poll:

  1. Gonzaga
  2. Virginia
  3. Duke
  4. Kentucky
  5. North Carolina
  6. Michigan State
  7. Tennessee
  8. Houston
  9. Michigan
  10. Marquette
  11. Texas Tech
  12. Nevada
  13. LSU
  14. Purdue
  15. Kansas
  16. Kansas State
  17. Maryland
  18. Florida State
  19. Wisconsin
  20. Virginia Tech
  21. Buffalo
  22. Iowa
  23. Cincinnati
  24. Woford
  25. Washington

The Huskies are the only team from the Pac-12 ranked in the top 25 as the conference is viewed to be having a down year.
