NCAA Basketball Rankings: Missouri, Kansas Remain In The Top Five

Both Kansas and Missouri are ranked in the top of five of both polls, and the two teams face each other next Saturday

By Jeremy Mauss

Both the Missouri Tigers and Kansas Jayhawks remained stagnent in the latest USA Today coaches and AP college basketball polls. Missouri has been at the No. 3 spot in both polls for the past two weeks while Kansas is No. 4 in the AP and No. 5 in the coaches polls.

Kansas and Missouri get to face each other this week on Saturday Feb. 25 at Allen Field house in Lawrence, Kan., with first place on the line for the Big 12 regular season title. Whichever team can pull off the win will likely move up the rankings next week, and get them closer to earning a No. 1 seed for the NCAA Tournament.
