UF men's basketball at No. 11

Florida moved up two spots to No. 11 in the latest Associated Press men's college basketball poll released Monday.

UF (8-2), which was ranked No. 13, hosts Mississippi Valley State (1-8) at 7 tonight.

Syracuse is on top of poll for a second week and UNLV and Virginia are newcomers to the Top 25.

The Orange (11-0) received 53 first-place votes Monday from the 64-member national media panel. The next six places remained the same from last week: Ohio State, Kentucky, Louisville, North Carolina, Baylor and Duke. Ohio State had five first-place votes, while Kentucky had four and Louisville two.

Connecticut, Missouri and Marquette all move up one place to round out the top 10.
