Duke holds No. 1 in men's, women's poll

Duke jumped to No. 1 in The Associated Press Top 25 Monday, joining the Blue Devils' women atop the rankings. Connecticut is the only other school to have held the top spots simultaneously.

Another milestone for Duke's men: This is the sixth consecutive season they have reached No. 1. Only UCLA's dynasty of the 1960s and 1970s had a longer run of seasons with at least one appearance atop the men's poll -- 12 straight.

"We don't really pay attention to our No. 1 ranking," Duke forward Dahntay Jones said. "We just make sure we get better on a weekly basis, and whatever you rank us is whatever you rank us."

The Blue Devils moved up from No. 3, taking advantage of losses last week by the teams ahead of them, Alabama and Pittsburgh.

Duke (9-0), which beat Fairfield and Clemson, received 54 first-place votes and 1,778 points from the national media panel.

Arizona (9-1), No. 1 in the preseason poll and for the first five weeks of the regular season, moved from fourth to second. The Wildcats, who won at Oregon and Oregon State, were No. 1 on 15 ballots and had 1,714 points.

Connecticut (9-0) climbed two spots to No. 3 -- the same spot its women's team holds -- and received one first-place vote.

Alabama (10-1), No. 1 the last two weeks, dropped to fourth after a 51-49 loss at Utah. Notre Dame went from sixth to fifth, while Pittsburgh dropped from second to sixth because of a 79-67 loss at Georgia.

Mississippi State (10-1) had the two other first-place votes and was No. 7. Texas, Oklahoma and Illinois rounded out the Top 10.
