Memphis No. 1 unanimously

By Associated Press     Feb 5, 2008

This week, it’s unanimous for No. 1 Memphis.

The only unbeaten team in Division I received all 72 first-place votes from the national media panel Monday and became the first unanimous No. 1 team in the Associated Press college basketball poll since Florida did it for two weeks last February on the way to a second straight national championship.

Duke and North Carolina, who meet Wednesday night, moved up one spot to second and third. Kansas, which also started the week without a defeat only to lose 81-73 at Kansas State, dropped to fourth.

UCLA held fifth and was followed by Georgetown, Tennessee, Wisconsin, Stanford and Butler. The No. 10 ranking matches Butler’s highest – the Bulldogs reached that spot for one week last season.

The additions of Connecticut and Notre Dame gave the Big East five teams in the poll.
