Tigers trail only Duke in AP poll

Duke received all the first-place votes in the AP college basketball poll Monday, the first time the Blue Devils have been a unanimous No. 1 since the 1991-92 season.

Victories over Iowa and Clemson last week kept Duke (6-0) unbeaten and the defending national champion got all 70 first-place votes and 1,750 points from the national media panel.

Missouri (7-0), which beat Jackson State and Grambling State last week, had 1,647 points and moved up one place to No. 2, the Tigers' highest ranking since they were No. 1 on Feb. 20, 1990.

Maryland moved up two spots to third this week, while Kansas jumped four places after a 105-97 victory at Arizona, the Wildcats' first loss of the season.

Illinois (6-1), which received three No. 1 votes last week, dropped from second to fifth after losing 76-63 at Maryland in the Big Ten-ACC Challenge.

Florida, Arizona, Virginia, Syracuse and Oklahoma State rounded out the Top Ten. It was the first appearance this season in the Top Ten for Syracuse (8-0), which moved up from 12th, and Oklahoma State (8-0), 14th last week. Complete poll in Scoreboard on 2B.
