Tide Is Turned, Duke Is Back at No. 1

Duke moved back to No. 1 in the AP college basketball poll, reclaiming the top spot from the team that bumped it out six weeks ago.

The Blue Devils (16-1) had been No. 1 for two weeks before losing at Michigan. North Carolina (18-1) jumped over them that week and held the top ranking until this week, after the Tar Heels’ first loss, at Maryland on Wednesday.

North Carolina is now No. 2, while Kansas and Utah held the third and fourth spots, respectively. Stanford moved from seventh to fifth, the highest ranking in school history.
