NCAA Basketball Rankings: AP Poll Has Duke No. 1, But Not Unanimously

There isn’t too much difference in this week’s NCAA basketball rankings between the coaches poll and the AP poll, with a uniform top five and a similar 6-10 of Pittsburgh, San Diego State, Villinova, Missouri and Georgetown. The rest of the top 25 is almost lock step down the line, with only No. 24 UCF edging out Louisville to prevent the lists from being identical in terms of teams included. Perhaps of some note: Duke received all but one No. 1 vote from the AP, which went to Ohio State.
