Louisville added one more thing to a week that saw it sweep the Big East titles and earn the overall No. 1 seed for the NCAA Tournament: the school’s first appearance atop the Associated Press’ college basketball poll.

The Cardinals (28-5) took advantage of a week of conference tournament upsets to jump from fifth to No. 1 in the final poll of the season Monday. Since no poll is taken after the NCAA Tournament, Louisville had never made it to No. 1 despite winning national championships in 1980 and 1986.

The Cardinals received 45 first-place votes from the 71-member national media panel, becoming the sixth school to hold the No. 1 ranking this season and they got it after the top three teams in the poll lost last week.

North Carolina (28-4), which moved back to No. 1 last week but lost in the Atlantic Coast Conference semifinals to Florida State, was second with 11 first-place votes.

Kansas fell from 11th to 14th.
