Duke Remains Atop AP Poll

Duke remains on top of the Associated Press college basketball poll for a fourth straight week, giving coach Mike Krzyzewski his 122nd week at the top, breaking a tie with late UCLA coach John Wooden for the most in poll history. However, Duke’s reign at the top could end as they were upset by Syracuse last night and lost point guard Tre Jones to a shoulder injury. Michigan, Tennessee, Virginia and Gonzaga round out the top 5.
