There will be no step up to No. 1 this week. UConn survived both of its games, so it will stay in the top spot of the AP Poll while Purdue sits at No. 2. That may be good news, as Purdue has lost each of the last two seasons to Rutgers while ranked No. 1, and it plays the Scarlet Knights on Sunday.
