KU is No. 1 in final AP college basketball poll

The final Associated Press college basketball poll and the NCAA Tournament don’t agree on the top four teams.

Kansas is No. 1 for the third straight week, and fifth overall, while Michigan State, not one of the NCAA field’s top four seeds, is second followed by North Carolina and Virginia.

The Jayhawks, 30-4, received 63 first-place votes Monday from the 65-member national media panel. Michigan State, a No. 2 seed in the NCAA Tournament, got the other two No. 1 votes.

Oregon, the NCAA’s other No. 1 seed, is fifth followed by Villanova, Oklahoma, West Virginia and Xavier.
