Stanford remains atop poll
Cardinal are first unanimous No.1 since 1997 season
The Associated Press
Stanford, which extended its winning streak to 12 games with easy victories against Washington State and Washington last week, was the unanimous No.1 team in The Associated Press Top 25 yesterday.
Stanford (24-1), which won its two games by an average of 31 points, received all 70 first-place votes and 1,750 points from the national media panel. It is the first unanimous No. 1 since North Carolina on Dec. 22, 1997
Cincinnati and Arizona, the only team to beat Stanford this season, each moved up one spot to second and third in the poll. Duke, which had been second, dropped to fourth following its 83-82 home loss to St. John's.
That victory was the third in a week against a ranked team for the Red Storm (20-6), which
moved back into the Top 25 at No.18.
Temple, which extended its winning streak to 13 games with victories against St. Bonaventure and Massachusetts last week, moved from eighth to fifth, matching the Owls' highest ranking since the second poll of the regular season.
Ohio State held sixth and was followed by Michigan State, Florida, Syracuse and Iowa State, which jumped from 17th to No.10.
The Top 10 ranking is the first for Iowa State since the Cyclones were seventh in the poll on Feb. 17, 1997.
Tennessee dropped four spots to 11th and was followed by Louisiana State, Oklahoma State, Indiana, Tulsa, Texas, Maryland, St. John's, Auburn and Purdue.
The last five teams in the rankings were Oklahoma, Kentucky, Kansas, Connecticut and Illinois.
The week's biggest drop was Auburn's fall from 11th to No. 19.
The Tigers (21-6) lost road games to Alabama and Florida last week.
The Top 25 teams in The Associated Press' men's college basketball poll, with first place votes in parentheses, records through Sunday, total points based on 25 points for a first place vote through one point for a 25th place vote and previous ranking;

Michigan ranked at No.22
Wolverine women join rest of Big Ten in AP basketball poll
Michigan completed the cycle for the Big Ten in The Associated Press women's basketball poll.
The only team in the league that had not been ranked, Michigan's drought ended yesterday when the Wolverines broke into the poll at No. 22.
The Wolverines (21-6) came in with an eight-game winning streak that carried them to a second-place finish in the Big Ten and a school-record victory total. Michigan's previous high was 20 victories in 1989-90.
“It’s good for our kids, it’s good for our program,” said coach Sue Guevara. “We’ve been kind of slowly but surely building what I hope to be one of the top programs in the country. It’s good for the kids to see that some other people recognize that.”
Connecticut continued its season long run at No.1, and Georgia moved
into a tie with Tennessee for second. They trailed UConn by 59 points in the voting by a national media panel.
Stanford returned at No. 25 as the only other newcomer. UCLA ranked as high as fourth early in the season, and Kansas dropped out.
Michigan went 15-11, 19-10 and 18-12 in Guavaira's first three seasons and made the NCAA tournament in 1998. Nine of the top 11 players returned this season, and freshman LeeAnn Bies has been a key contributor off the bench.
Three of the Wolverines' losses have been to teams now in the Top 10: Louisiana Tech, Penn State and LSU.
"This is a team you just can't focus on one player," Guevara said. "In different games, we've had four or five different people step up. I think it a fairly well-rounded team and a team that still hasn't played its best basketball. But we're slowly inching our way toward that."
Five Michigan players have double-figure scoring averages in conference play. Senior Stacey Thomas leads the team at 15 points a game and set a school record with 10 steals in Sunday's 70-46 victory against Northwestern.
The Top 25 teams in The Associated Press' women's college basketball poll, with first-place votes in parentheses, records through June, total points in games played, and number of points a point for a 250-point vote and previous ranking.

The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — He scores. He rebounds. He defends, passes and intimidates.
As if all that weren't enough, now Marcus Fizer is helping Larry Eustachy coach.
Eustachy disclosed yesterday that he encouraged Iowa State's 6-foot-8 star to have a heart-to-heart talk with point guard Jamaal Tinsley about the value of hard work.
Big 12 Conference.
"I had Marcus sit down the other day and tell him," Eustachy said. "Marcus was in the boat."
It wasn't that Tinsley had been a practice laggard since transferring from junior college and exploding upon the scene as a key element in the Cyclones' drive to the top of the
But his background had not exact
ly preparee him, Eustachy said, for the day to-day practice grind everyone needed to compete at the highest collegiate level.
"You're a product of your practices, and Jamaal doesn't always gear it up in practice." Fustachy, said.
"But as a coachable person, he's been tops."
Fizer: Gives advice to younger lowa State players
In the meantime, kudos for Fizer
keep rolling in. He was named Big 12 player of the week after he scored 35 points in a victory against Texas and 29 in a big win against Oklahoma State, pushing them both into a second-place tie at 11-3.
The Cyclones stand 12:2 in the league with two games remaining, at Texas Tech tomorrow and at Baylor on Saturday in the regular season wrapup.
How swimmingly are things going for Iowa State?
Eustachy is even happy with the officials. That, for a college coach, is rare.

known far and wide as one of the quaintest, loudest basketball venues in the nation.
Next year, the Cowboys will play in a renovated Gallagher-Iba, which will be quite different from the cozy place they've known for more than 60 years.
"I'll try to get them ready for Oklahoma." Sutton said. "Certainly, there's a lot of enthusiasm. I've never seen such a demand for tickets. It's a scalpers' paradise."
Sutton is a man who can appreciate tradition. He's not altogether happy to see old Gallagher-Iba change form.
"I think there's a danger of losing (atmosphere) when you expand, renovate or build a new arena."
Sutton said. "One of the things you're going to lose, when this place was rocking, there's no place louder because the ceiling is so low. But the ceiling will be much higher, so there will be a place for the sound to escape."
Oklahoma State and Texas entered the final week just one game behind Iowa State, with Oklahoma and Kansas one more back. That means Texas Tech and Baylor will be the most popular teams in the conference this week because the Cyclones are at Tech tomorrow and Baylor on Saturday.
"I understand people will be cheering for us," said Baylor coach Dave Bliss. "Hopefully, we'll finish the season play well."
