College basketball’s 2025 version of Feast Week has officially come and gone, and with it came plenty of action as NCAA hoops enters December.
The week that was saw Michigan take down Gonzaga by 40(!) points with a 101–61 win in the Players Era championship—a pseudo-tournament littered with NIL money that also saw Iowa State's Milan Momcilovic put together two epic shooting performances and Creighton announcer John Bishop go viral over his call of the Jays' loss to Baylor.
Elsewhere, even St. John’s coach Rick Pitino had an opinion about Lane Kiffin moving from Ole Miss to LSU, as he highlighted the absurdity of the college football calendar.
And just like that, we’re onto Week 5. Here’s a look at the latest AP Top 25 rankings in college basketball:
