Minnesota was impressive in winning an early season tournament, and Texas looked good in finishing second in another of the November classics.

Both moved into The Associated Press’ Top 25 on Monday while North Carolina hung on at 25th.

Duke (3-0) was again No. 1 in the poll, receiving 58 first-place votes from the national media panel for the second straight week. Michigan State (2-0) remained second although the Spartans lost one first-place vote, getting six.

Ohio State (3-0) and Kansas State (3-0), which got the other No. 1 nod, were third and fourth after switching places from last week. The Buckeyes’ jump came after their impressive 93-75 victory at then-No. 9 Florida.

Pittsburgh, Kansas, Villanova, Kentucky, Syracuse and Purdue rounded out the Top 10.

Pelini apologizes for angry rant

Lincoln, Neb. — Nebraska coach Bo Pelini tried to tamp down the frenzy surrounding his program Monday, apologizing for his sideline tirades.

Pelini’s foul-mouth berating of the officials and quarterback Taylor Martinez made for must-see TV for ABC, but it also drew an admonishment from Nebraska chancellor Harvey Perlman and criticism from fans who say Pelini embarrassed the state and program.

“I always believe it’s OK to disagree with a call,” Pelini said. “It’s not OK to make it personal. At times during that game, probably in my quest to fight for the kids on our football team, I let it get personal. For that, once again, I’m sorry. I regret that.”
