UCLA Rises to No. 2 in the AP Poll
UCLA, one of only two remaining unbeaten NCAA Division I teams, moved to second in the Associated Press poll that was released Monday.
The Bruins (11-0) are tied for first with Kansas in the USA Today/CNN poll, which was released Sunday.
However, Kansas, No. 1 in the AP poll, suffered a 68-64 loss to Kansas State on Monday night.
The Jayhawks (16-2) received 29 first-place votes and 1,552 points from the national media panel to edge UCLA, which was first on 26 ballots and had 1,514 points. Kansas is the fourth team to sit atop the rankings this season, joining North Carolina, Kentucky and Arkansas.
The only other unbeaten Division I team, St. Louis (14-0), broke into the AP top 25 for the first time since the 1964-65 season, when the Billikens got as high as fourth.
St. Louis is No. 23.
