There was little movement at the top of this week’s Associated Press top 25, which was released Monday with the Cyclones in at No. 3 in poll.
This marks the eighth-straight week Iowa State has been ranked in the top three, and the 19th-straight poll to slot the Cyclones in the top 10.
Iowa State is one of seven Big 12 teams that either appear in the poll or received votes, joining No. 6 Houston, No. 11 Kansas and No. 22 Texas Tech inside the top 25.
Arizona (47), Baylor (8), and West Virginia (3) also received votes.
The Cyclones face Arizona (9:30 p.m. CT ESPN) on the road tonight in their first of two games this week.
The full poll can be seen below.
