Last week was a chaotic one for the top teams in college basketball.

Here’s everything you missed in Week 9 of the season, and the latest Associated Press men’s college basketball poll.Kelvin Sampson and the Houston Cougars are the top ranked team in the country once again.

Houston cruised to a pair of conference wins this week, beating SMU by 33 points on Thursday and then Cincinnati by 13 points on Sunday. The Cougars have won seven straight since falling to Alabama last month, which is their only loss of the season. The win, which was the latest over a ranked opponent for Iowa State, bumped the Cyclones up 11 spots to No. 14 in this week’s poll. They’ve also got wins over then-No. 1 North Carolina in November and Baylor late last month under their belt.

The victory, however, marked the Bruins’ 11th straight win. That is what’s impressive about the stretch that Mick Cronin’s group is on. UCLA jumped up three spots to No. 3 in this week’s poll.
