Auburn, Duke remain 1-2 in Top 25; St. John's to No. 6

Auburn remained the unanimous No. 1 team in the country for the second consecutive week, with Duke holding steady at No. 2 and St. John’s climbing to sixth in the latest Associated Press Top 25 poll released Monday.

The Tigers (27-2) collected all 61 first-place votes to remain ahead of the Blue Devils (26-3). Houston (25-4), Tennessee (24-5) and Florida (25-4) round out the top five.
