After another wild week of college basketball saw many of the nation’s top teams fall victim to upsets, UNC moved up four spots in the AP Top 25 released on Monday.
The Tar Heels defeated Pitt at home on Tuesday in a game that went down to the final shot, before traveling to Greensboro on Sunday to close out then-No. 20 Notre Dame.
Undefeated Gonzaga held onto its place at No. 1 by avoiding any chaos, while Villanova, Kansas, Louisville and Oregon make up the rest of the top five.
The Cardinals are the highest ranked team in the ACC–which still leads the nation in ranked teams, but now has just five schools among the poll after the Fighting Irish suffered their fourth loss in a row.
Other ACC schools in the top 25 are: No. 12 Virginia, No. 14 Florida State and No. 18 Duke.
This week also marks the highly anticipated first collision between UNC and Duke, as the longtime rivals will have a top 25 battle at Cameron Indoor Stadium on Thursday.
