On Monday, the Associated Press released its new top-25 rankings for the Cal men’s and women’s basketball squads, with the men moving up one spot to No. 14. This is the first time this season that the team has moved back up the rankings after initially beginning the season at No. 14 but falling back a spot after the first week of play.

The women moved from No. 21 to tied for No. 16 with Pac-12 rival Arizona State (1-1) after beginning the season outside the top 25. The Bears are currently 4-0, and their victories include a 75-71 upset over then-No. 8 Louisville, which is currently ranked No. 22.

The men’s team also remains undefeated after three games, including a recent close victory over East Carolina on Friday, 70-62, in the first game of the Las Vegas Invitational. The Bears will face off against Sam Houston State on Monday in the second game of the tournament at 8 p.m. at Haas Pavilion.

This week’s men’s rankings look very different from last week’s overall, as UNC lost to Northern Iowa this past weekend, moving the Tar Heels from the No. 1 spot to No. 9, with Kentucky taking over the top spot. Pac-12 teams joining the Bears in the top 25 include No. 11 Arizona and No. 21 Oregon.

For the women, Connecticut retains the top spot, despite being only 1-0. Pac-12 teams joining Cal include No. 7 Oregon State and No. 13 Stanford.
