Florida basketball didn’t lose last week. In fact, the Gators (24-3, 11-3 SEC) haven’t fallen since Feb. 1, reeling off six straight wins. Even so, Duke basketball head coach Jon Scheyer and his high-powered Blue Devils (24-3, 15-1 ACC) zoomed past them to No. 2 in the AP Top 25 Poll released on Monday.
