Auburn men’s basketball sits atop the AP top 25 for a second straight week. It comes after ranked wins over Mississippi State and Georgia, both without All-American center Johni Broome.

Here's where Ole Miss basketball ranks in this week's national polls after beating Auburn and losing to Mississippi State.

Monday’s new AP Top 25 Men’s College Basketball Poll saw the Alabama Crimson Tide in the same spot as last week. Alabama (15-3 overall, 4-1 SEC) stayed at No. 4 in the new AP Poll following their 74-64 loss to Ole Miss and 102-97 bounce-back over Kentucky at Rupp Arena on Saturday.

Auburn basketball earned two key SEC wins last week, which allowed them to hang on to their No. 1 ranking in the USA TODAY Coaches Poll for the second week in a row.

It's only been a day since Auburn was pushed into the No. 1 spot in all of the polls, and it didn't have much of a problem playing like it. The home atmosphere helped with the energy throughout, but the team was just that strong.

Two and a half months into the 2024-25 men’s college hoops season, the SEC has made the most of the bigger, badder, and larger basketball leagues. All 16 teams in the league are sitting above .500 overall and have 10 wins or more at this point in the season.

Earlier in the week, while discussing Auburn, I explained why I think the Tigers deserve their No. 1 ranking but acknowledged I also find it hard to believe they're actually the best team in the country without the injured Johni Broome.

Auburn claimed the program's second No. 1 ranking last week and won both its games despite playing without injured big man Johni Broome. The Tigers rolled over No. 14 Mississippi State 88-66 and survived a late comeback to beat then-No. 19 Georgia 70-68.

Nineteen of the teams currently ranked in The Associated Press Top 25 poll will be in action Saturday as a stacked college basketball schedule takes center stage here in mid-January. The fun begins in Lexington when No.

The Auburn Tigers will take the court against the Mississippi State Bulldogs as the nation's No. 1 team but without star Johni Broome.
