Kentucky is No. 1 in men's AP poll after Tar Heels loss

Kentucky is back in a very familiar spot — on top of The Associated Press college basketball poll. It only took a couple of weeks.

The Wildcats, who were No. 1 every week last season, moved up one spot Monday following North Carolina's loss to Northern Iowa.

Kentucky (4-0) beat then-No. 5 Duke in the Champions Classic last week and received 59 first-place votes from the 65-member national media panel.
