Voters didn’t exactly snub the Duke basketball team by giving the Kentucky Wildcats (10-1, 0-0 SEC) the nod at No. 4 while dropping the Blue Devils (8-2, 1-0 ACC) one notch to No. 5 in the updated Associated Press Top 25 Poll released on Monday.

After all, Jon Scheyer and his Blue Devils, still No. 3 in the NCAA NET Rankings, lost to Mark Pope’s Wildcats (No. 7 NET) in the Champions Classic on Nov. 12. Plus, Kentucky went 2-0 last week, including a home win over in-state rival Louisville, and all Duke did was defeat Incarnate Word in Durham.

The Blue Devils remain higher than their preseason No. 7 ranking.

And they are almost all alone among ACC teams in the latest AP Top 25, as the Clemson Tigers (9-2, 1-0 ACC) now check in at No. 25 as the only other ranked squad from the conference. Two more at least received some votes in the Pitt Panthers (9-2, 1-0 ACC) and UNC Tar Heels (6-4, 1-0 ACC).

Duke basketball has two outings on its slate this week: at home versus the George Mason Patriots (7-3, 0-0 Atlantic 10) at 7 p.m. ET Tuesday (ACC Network) and on the road versus the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (4-6, 0-1 ACC) at noon ET Saturday (ACC Network).
