    Duke, which now has four freshmen projected in the first round of the NBA Draft, remained No. 1 in the AP Top 25 poll, while the Top 10 remained unchanged.

    Kentucky jumped six spots to No. 12, and Marquette six to No. 15.

    The Big East has two teams in the poll with Marquette and Villanova re-entering at No. 22. St. John’s, No. 24 last week, dropped out after losses at Villanova and at home to DePaul.
