LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Kansas is back on top of the college basketball world after knocking off Baylor. And the Bears dropped to No. 2 in The Associated Press men's poll following the close loss. The Jayhawks took over the No. 1 ranking for the second time this season following a week there in December. The Bears fell to second after their 23-game winning streak ended. Gonzaga was No. 3 after a loss to BYU. And Dayton leapfrogged San Diego State for No. 4 following the Aztecs' first loss of the season. They were followed by Florida State, Duke, Kentucky, Maryland and Creighton in rounding out the top 10. Every team in the top 10 found itself in a new position from last week.

NEW YORK (AP) — South Carolina still leads the way in The Associated Press women's college basketball poll in a week that saw seven ranked teams fall to unranked opponents. The top of the poll was unscathed with none of the first seven teams losing. The No. 1 Gamecocks received 27 of 30 first-place votes from the national media panel a day after clinching their fifth Southeastern Conference title in seven years. No. 2 Baylor got two first-place votes and No. 3 Oregon got one. Stanford and Louisville round out the top five teams in the poll. TCU enters the rankings for the first time in two years, coming in at No. 25.

UNDATED (AP) — The Duke baseball program is celebrating the first perfect game in program history. Bryce Jarvis struck out 15 while retiring all 27 batters in a 2-0 win over Cornell on Friday. There has been at least one perfect game in seven straight years in Division I baseball. It was the 18th nine-inning perfect game since the NCAA began tracking the statistic in 1957. There were two other no-hitters over the weekend. Mississippi's Doug Nikhazy, Drew McDaniel and Jackson Kimbrell combined for one against Xavier. UNC Greensboro's Jake Lewis and Austin Parsley teamed up for one against Fairfield.
