NCAA Basketball Rankings: Kentucky A Unanimous No. 1 In New Coaches’ Poll
Kentucky earned all 31 first-place votes from the coaches for a second straight week.
Syracuse jumped over Ohio State for the No. 2 spot despite its only win this week being a controversial two-point home victory over West Virginia. Missouri and Duke rounded out the top five.
Baylor and North Carolina are tied for the No. 6 spot, while Kansas, undefeated Murray State and Michigan State make up the rest of the top ten.
Connecticut and Kansas State fell out of the rankings, while Florida State finally entered at No. 24. Wisconsin and Louisville were tied at No. 25 a week ago, which is why just one team moved into the rankings despite two falling out.
