Duke (10-0) received all 65 first-place votes in Monday’s AP Top 25 poll after two easy victories, its second straight week as the unanimous No. 1. The next three spots also remained the same from last week: Kansas, Michigan State and Villanova.

Notre Dame was No. 5 last week, but dropped to No. 9 following an 81-63 loss to the Spartans.

Florida moved up to No. 5 despite not playing last week, followed by Wichita State, Texas A&M, Kentucky and Miami at No. 10.

In the women’s poll, UConn (7-0) remained the unanimous top team. The Huskies trailed No. 3 Notre Dame by 11 points in the fourth quarter before rallying for an 80-71 victory on Sunday. Texas, Notre Dame, Louisville and South Carolina follow the Huskies. The top five teams were unchanged.
