Michigan State didn't move up in this week's Associated Press men's basketball poll, but it did pick up a few first-place votes.

The Spartans (2-1) stayed put at No. 3, while Duke moved to No. 1 following Kentucky’s surprising loss to Evansville.

The Blue Devils received 52 first-place votes from a 65-member media panel in the poll released Monday. No. 2 Louisville received eight first-place votes and Michigan State, the preseason No. 1, had four after receiving none last week.

Michigan State won its lone game last week, a 76-73 victory at then-No.
