Louisville jumps to No. 1 in AP basketball poll
Rick Pitino is guessing his Louisville Cardinals won’t be the last team to be No. 1 this season.
The Cardinals took advantage of losses by Duke and Michigan to move up two spots to No. 1 on Monday in The Associated Press’ Top 25 poll. This is just the second time in school history they’re on top. The other time was the final poll of 2008-09, a season in which they reached the final eight of the NCAA tournament.
Louisville (15-1) was one of five teams to receive a first-place vote this week, and that backs Pitino’s point.
