UCLA Moves Into No. 1 Spot In USA Today Poll

UCLA picked up two first-place votes from last week to grab the top spot alone over North Carolina in the ESPN/USA Today men's basketball rankings released Monday.

The Bruins have 12 first-place votes, one fewer than the No. 2 Tar Heels. But UCLA has 749 points, four more than UNC.

Memphis, Kansas and Georgetown rounded out the top five for the second straight week.

North Carolina remained No. 1 in The Associated Press poll. UCLA is No. 2.
