Duke Holds Top Spot, Florida Climbs in Final AP Poll

0:00On March 9, Duke stays locked in at number 1 in the final AP Top 25 poll before Selection Sunday. Florida makes a big move up one spot to number 4, passing Yukon and positioning themselves well for a number 1 seed in the NCAA tournament. Arizona sits at number 2, Michigan at number 3, and Houston rounds out the top 5. Yukon tumbled after that upset loss to Marquette last weekend, which handed St. John's the Outride Big East regular season title. Now both teams head into their conference tournament, with a might meet for a third time this year. Duke could still grab the top overall seed, but Arizona and Michigan are right there breathing down their necks depending on ACC play this week. Teams like Arkansas jumped 3 spots to number 17 with key wins over Texas and Missouri, even without their star guard. Undefeated Miami of Ohio slipped 1 to number 20, despite going 31, and, oh, in the regular season, as they gear up for the Mac tournament. Tennessee dropped 2 to number 25 after losing 3 of their last 4.

1:04Bracket watchers are buzzing about bubble teams like Auburn and Indiana, and weather Kansas lands as a number 5 seed or the ACC Snacks 9 Bids. Purdue fell to 18, Juan de Brasca cracked the top 10 in number 11. All eyes now turn to Selection Sunday, and those conference tournaments where the final seeding picture will come into focus.
