Purdue had cleared every hurdle in its way, holding the top spot in the AP Top 25 for four straight weeks. Rutgers changed that Monday night with a 65-64 victory that will surely knock the Boilermakers from No. 1. The loss leaves one undefeated team: No. 21 New Mexico. The Lobos were picked to finish fifth in the Mountain West Conference, but have exceeded expectations in Richard Pitino’s second season as coach. New Mexico is off to its best start since the 1967-68 team opened 17-0 and last week moved into the AP poll for the first time in eight years. The Lobos play Fresno State and UNLV this week.
