The Alabama Crimson Tide continued to soar up the polls this week, moving up three spots to No. 8 in the latest Associated Press top 25 college basketball poll.

After dropping two spots last week, the undefeated Auburn Tigers jumped four spots and now sit just outside of the top 10 at No. 11.

Coming off of a struggle win over South Dakota State, Alabama, which has already beaten one top-ranked team this season, travels to Houston this Saturday to take on the No. 1 Houston Cougars.

Auburn blew out Colgate on Friday and doesn't play again until December 10 for Holiday Hoopsgiving. The Tigers head to Atlanta to face off with a talented but unranked Memphis team coached by basketball legend Penny Hardaway.
