Fueled by a big win over Kentucky, Duke replaced Kansas at No. 1 in this week's AP Top 25 basketball poll.
The poll was released Monday. It's the 135th week that the Blue Devils have been in the No. 1 spot, breaking a tie with UCLA for the all-time record.

Barrett leads the team in points per game, averaging 28.0. He's followed by Williamson (27.5) and Reddish (23.5). Reddish knocked down seven 3-pointers against Army, while Williamson finished with a double-double (27 points, 16 rebounds).
In their first game at the No. 1 spot, the Blue Devils return to Cameron Indoor Stadium to host Eastern Michigan on Wednesday before heading to Hawaii Maui Invitational. The Blue Devils begin play against San Diego State on Monday.
