Duke, who is coming off a convincing beat down of North Carolina and win over No. 9 Miami, jumped Indiana for the No. 2-spot.
The Hoosiers slid to No. 3 following a midweek loss to No. 10 Ohio State. However, Tom Crean’s crew bounced back in a big way on Sunday with a thrilling win over No. 6 Michigan.
