Purdue is back atop The Associated Press Top-25 men’s college basketball poll. The Boilermakers ascended to No. 1 on Monday after an impressive run through a loaded field at the Maui Invitational. They beat Gonzaga, Tennessee and Marquette — three of the top 11 teams in the nation — in consecutive days, and that was enough to earn 60 of 63 first-place votes from the national panel of Top 25 voters. Arizona is the new #2, followed by Marquette. Former #1 Kansas fell to fifth behind UConn.
