No. 1 Arizona (9-0) received 42 of 61 first-place votes, while 15 votes went to No. 2 Michigan (10-0), three to No. 3 Duke (10-0) and one to No. 4 Iowa State (11-0).
After UConn (10-1) and Purdue (10-1), No. 7 Gonzaga (10-1) and No. 8 Houston (10-1) switched places, followed by Michigan State (9-1) and BYU (9-1) to round out the top 10.
