Duke is again a unanimous No. 1 in The Associated Press Top 25.
The Blue Devils, who have been on top of the poll all season, received all the first-place votes from the 65-member nationwide media panel Monday. Duke’s three-week run as a unanimous choice fell one vote short last week, when Ohio State received a first-place vote.
Ohio State, Kansas, Connecticut, Syracuse, Pittsburgh, San Diego State and Villanova held second through eighth. Georgetown and Missouri flipped ninth and 10th.
No. 22 Louisville, No. 24 Vanderbilt and No. 25 Temple move into the rankings, replacing Baylor, which was 15th, Tennessee, which was 19th, and Florida, which was No. 20.
Louisville and Temple were both ranked earlier this season while Vanderbilt moves in for the first time since last season.
