Kentucky keeps stranglehold on No. 1 in AP poll

Kentucky is still the unanimous No. 1 team in the nation, garnering all 65 first-place votes in the Associated Press Poll this week. However, it's the lack of movement behind them that is a bit surprising.

Despite losses over the weekend to previously unranked foes, Kansas and Arizona are still the seventh and eighth ranked teams in the nation (following Virginia, Gonzaga, Duke, Wisconsin and Villanova). Also, following a 30-point loss to Duke on Saturday, Notre Dame also held steady at 10th overall.
