Both the Baylor men’s and women’s basketball teams are No. 2 in the country in the Associated Press polls.

Following Friday’s 76-50 win at Oklahoma to open Big 12 play, the Bears improved to 13-0 and jumped from No. 4 to 2 for their highest ranking in school history. Baylor’s previous high was No. 3 for two weeks in January 2012.

Baylor ranks only behind defending national champion Villanova which earned the No. 1 spot for the fifth straight week. UCLA dropped from No. 2 to 4 following its loss to Oregon on a last-second shot while Kansas remained at No. 3. The Bears earned six first-place votes.

The Baylor (13-1) women are ranked second behind Connecticut, which handed the Lady Bears their only loss. The Lady Bears hammered Kansas, 90-43, on Sunday at the Ferrell Center to move up a spot in the poll.

The Baylor men will host Iowa State on Wednesday while the Baylor women will face No. 17 West Virginia in Morgantown on Wednesday.
