Ducks back in top 10 of latest AP Poll

NCAA Basketball: Stanford at Oregon Troy Wayrynen-USA TODAY Sports

Last week, the Ducks beat both Cal and Stanford in Eugene, improving their winning streak to 16 games, which broke a 104-year old school record of 15 games.

This week, Oregon is finally back in the top 10 of the AP Top 25, checking in at No. 10 overall.

Villanova and Kansas hold onto the top two spots, while Gonzaga and Kentucky each move up a spot to No. 3 and No. 4, respectively. Baylor also jumped one spot up to round out the top five.

In the Pac-12, Arizona is now the highest ranked team at No. 7 after their big win over UCLA this weekend. The Bruins are right behind at No. 8 (previously No. 3), while the Ducks are close behind at No. 10. No other Pac-12 teams are in the top 25.

Just outside of the top 25, USC received six votes while Utah received one vote.

This week, the Ducks hit the road to face Utah on Thursday night and Colorado on Saturday night. Utah is 5-2 in conference play this year and nearly beat UCLA back on January 14. Colorado has yet to win a conference game and hasn't won since December 22.
