'Let it burn Boilermakers': Twitter reacts to Duke passing Purdue for top spot in AP poll
Purdue fans were hopeful that the Boilermakers would top the AP basketball poll for the first time in program history, but they came in at No. 2.
Duke, who beat last week's No. 1 team Gonzaga, received 52 first-place votes to Purdue's nine.

The fix is in as @AP_Top25 has Duke jump from #5 to #1 over undefeated #3 #Purdue. Purdue has beaten 3 ranked teams, including a top 5 team. Stupid writer bias. @BoilerBall #BoilerUp
