Unbeatens: Arizona still tops, Nebraska No. 5 in AP men's poll - ESPN

Arizona remained the unanimous No. 1 team in the AP Top 25 men's college basketball poll ahead of Monday night's showdown at No. 13 BYU, while fellow unbeaten Nebraska climbed to a program-best fifth ahead of its big week in the Big Ten.

The Wildcats, riding their best start since the 2013-14 season, received all 60 first-place votes from the national media panel to easily outdistance second-place UConn and third-ranked Michigan, whose places remained unchanged from last week's poll.

Arizona was 20-0 going into the week, just the third 20-game win streak in program history.

«We're just trying to win one game every week, or however many games we have, and I think we're doing a good job of it,» Wildcats freshman star Koa Peat said. «Just keep doing what we're doing, and keep getting better as a team.»

Duke remained No. 4 ahead of the Huskers, who also are 20-0 and climbed two more spots from last week. Nebraska has won 24 in a row dating to last season, the longest win streak by any Big Ten team since Ohio State won 24 straight to start the 2010-11 season.

Just like Arizona, the path to stay perfect is perilous. The Huskers visit Michigan on Tuesday night and play No. 9 Illinois on Sunday.

«Heck of a team, man,» Northwestern coach Chris Collins said after the Huskers beat his own team a couple of weeks ago. «It's really refreshing to watch the purity they play with, the joy they play with, the toughness they play with.»

Gonzaga moved up two spots to sixth after narrowly avoiding an upset loss to San Francisco. The Bulldogs were followed by Michigan State, Iowa State, the Illini and Houston, which remained in the top 10 for a 23rd straight poll despite its loss to Texas Tech.
