The Blue Devils lost Williamson less than a minute into their 88-72 home loss to the Tar Heels last Wednesday when his left shoe ruptured and appeared to cause him to twist his right knee. He did not return and was later diagnosed with a knee sprain.

Luke Maye had 30 points and 15 rebounds to lead North Carolina to the blowout win. RJ Barrett and Cam Reddish combined for 60 of Duke's 72 points with Williamson out, as the rest of the Blue Devils lineup struggled without their star.

"It was just a shock for us," Reddish told reporters. "Obviously, we're used to playing with him, so playing without him was very difficult. We missed him today."

Michigan State moved up four spots to No. 6 after 77-70 win over Big Ten rival Michigan. Cassius Winston finished with 27 points and eight assists, leading the Spartans to their first win over a Top 10 Michigan team since 1986 despite being without Nick Ward and Joshua Langford, their second- and third-leading scorers.

"I don't need to be an underdog anymore—those days are over," Michigan State head coach Tom Izzo told reporters. "I don't need to have anybody feel sorry for us. Those days are over. Doesn't matter, nobody cares—put a jersey on a kid and he goes."

The biggest jump among Top 25 teams this week went to Kansas State, which moved up seven spots after a pair of blowout wins over West Virginia and Oklahoma State. The Wildcats have a one-game lead in the Big 12 standings and are two ahead of Kansas, which is in danger of its decade-and-a-half reign coming to a close.

The biggest drop went to Nevada, which was sent back six spots to No. 12 after a 65-57 road loss to San Diego State.

Dropping out of the Top 25 this week are Villanova, Louisville and Iowa State. The defending champs lost by double digits at Georgetown and Xavier last week to extend their losing streak to three games. Louisville has lost four of its last five after being blown out by Syracuse and Virginia. 

Iowa State's defeats to Baylor and TCU were only by a combined seven points but were enough to send them from No. 19 to the outside looking in.

No. 23 Cincinnati, No. 24 Wofford and No. 25 Washington entered the Top 25.
