The NCAA men's basketball rankings are out and the UConn Huskies remain among the others receiving votes in both polls.
The Duke Blue Devils (I just threw up in my mouth) are the new No. 1 team in the land. They are followed by the Michigan Wolverines, Syracuse Orange, Arizona Wildcats and Louisville Cardinals in the AP Poll. In the ESPN USA Today Coaches Poll, the top three is the same with Louisville at No. 4 and Arizona at No. 5.
Joining Syracuse and Louisville from the Big East in the top 25 are the Cincinnati Bearcats (11/11), Georgetown Hoyas (15/21) and Notre Dame Fighting Irish (22/22).
The Pitt Panthers join UConn among the others receiving votes in both polls. The Marquette Golden Eagles are among the others receiving votes in the AP Poll.
