No movement for Houston basketball in this week's major college basketball polls

Houston didn't move at all in the latest major men's college basketball rankings released earlier on Monday.

The Cougars remained No. 15 in the Associated Press poll, and they were once again ranked No. 12 in the USA Today coaches' poll. They are one of five Big 12 teams in both polls, joining Iowa State (No. 3 in both), Kansas (No. 7 in both), Cincinnati (No. 17 in both) and Baylor (No. 25 in AP; No. 23 in USA Today).

Houston (8-3) had another week of sweeps on its home court. Last Wednesday, the Cougars rolled past Toledo, 78-49.

Then on Saturday, Houston won its 29th straight game at the Fertitta Center - currently the longest active streak in the nation - with an 87-51 victory against Texas A&M-Corpus Christi. It was also the 100th win for the Cougars in the Fertitta Center, which opened in 2018.

The Cougars will be off for the entire week, and won't resume action until Dec. 30, when they open Big 12 Conference play at Oklahoma State.
