Kentucky remains No. 1 in the AP Top 25, though two overtime games loosened its hold on the top spot a bit.
The Wildcats (15-0) were atop 63 of 65 votes cast Monday, ending a run of five straight weeks as the unanimous No. 1. Kentucky beat Mississippi at home in overtime then won in double overtime at Texas A&M.
Virginia (15-0) earned the other two first-place votes and moved up a spot to No. 2 as the only other unbeaten team after Duke’s loss at North Carolina State.
Gonzaga was third, followed by Duke — which fell from second and was among five top-10 losers — and Villanova.
Northern Iowa, Oklahoma State and Wyoming were new to the poll, with 25th-ranked Wyoming in for the first time since 1988.
