UConn is 4th straight new No. 1 in poll

By Staff     Feb 3, 2009

It’s Monday, so there must be a new No. 1.

This time it’s Connecticut at the top of the Associated Press’ college basketball poll, the fourth straight week with a new No. 1.

The Huskies (20-1) moved up from second to replace Duke (19-2), which fell to fourth after losing on a last-second shot to Wake Forest in its one week on top.

Wake Forest (17-2) was No. 1 two weeks ago, but the Demon Deacons lost to Virginia Tech and fell out. They had replaced Pittsburgh (19-2), which was No. 1 for two weeks before losing to Louisville. North Carolina (19-2) was a unanimous No. 1 in the preseason poll and for the first seven weeks of the season before losing to Boston College.
