The top five teams remained the same in both the AP and coaches' top 25 polls this week.
Feb 20, 2012 - Kentucky (26-1), Syracuse (27-1) and Missouri (25-2) remained the first three teams in both the Associated Press and ESPN/USA Today coaches' poll for a second consecutive week.
The Wildcats again were again a unanimous No. 1 choice by the coaches, and received all but two first-place votes from the AP. The second-ranked Orange received the other pair of nods for the top spot
Duke and Kansas rounded out the coaches' top five, while the pair were flip-flopped by the AP.
