College basketball rankings: Duke continues to rise in Coaches Poll, undefeated Oklahoma moves up

Duke moved up in the updated Coaches Poll released Monday, jumping to No. 4 following Kentucky’s 85-65 loss to Ohio State in the CBS Sports Classic over the weekend.

The Blue Devils have won their last six games since losing to Kansas last month in Las Vegas. Behind big performances from star freshman Cooper Flagg, Duke knocked off George Mason and capped the week with a blowout win over Georgia Tech to move to 2-0 in ACC play.

Undefeated Oklahoma jumped four spots to No. 11 following wins vs. Michigan and Central Arkansas. 

UConn, which opened the season ranked No. 3 in the poll but dropped out following its 0-3 performance in the Maui Invitational, dropped a spot to No. 14.
