UNDATED (AP) – Kansas is the new No. 1 in The Associated Press college
basketball poll.
The Jayhawks (26-3) moved up two places to the top spot, receiving 58
first-place votes Monday from the 65-member national media panel.
Kansas is the sixth school to be No. 1 this season. The Jayhawks were on top last season for five weeks, including the final three polls of the season.
Villanova (27-3) remained second despite losing to Butler last week. The
Wildcats were No. 1 on two ballots. UCLA (26-3), which was No. 1 on three
ballots, moved up from fifth to third after its win over Arizona on Saturday.
Gonzaga (29-1) fell to fourth after losing its first game of the season, an upset by BYU on Saturday. The Zags, who had been No. 1 for the last four polls, received two first-place votes.
North Carolina moved from eighth to fifth and was followed by Oregon, Arizona, Louisville, Kentucky and West Virginia.
