With the basketball season winding down, we're just four days away from the seeding for the state tournaments. Here's a look at the latest shakeups in the Boston.com Top 20 boys' basketball rankings.

The top three teams remained unchanged, however Charlestown lost to unranked East Boston. The win pushed East Boston onto the list at No. 12, while Charlestown slid one spot to No. 5.

Right behind Charlestown at No. 6 is Cambridge, which fell one spot after losing to Somerville last week. The loss is Cambridge's only blemish (15-1).

These two losses opened the door for Mansfield, which jumped to No. 4 from No. 8, and now New Mission is No. 8.

Lincoln-Sudbury jumped five spots to No. 13 after beating No. 11 Westford, and BC High cracked the Top 20 in the final spot with wins over No. 7 Acton-Boxboro and previously ranked No. 14 Newton North. Newton North fell out of the Top 20 after losing to No. 10 Andover.
