College Basketball AP Poll February 27: Purdue Stays at #5
It is a testament to the work Purdue has done all season that it is still in the top five this week even after losing four of the last six games. Indiana came into Mackey Arena Saturday night and put on an impressive performance in a 79-71 win, their first in a decade in West Lafayette. It wasn't enough to knock Purdue out of the top five as they stayed at No. 5 in this week's AP Poll.
