Wisconsin remains on edge of Top 10 in latest men’s basketball rankings
The Wisconsin men had an up-and-down week, resulting in the Badgers standing put in the AP Poll while falling a spot in the Coaches Poll.
After a stunning home loss to Oregon in which Wisconsin (21-6) led for the majority of the game, the Badgers will look to bounce back when they host Illinois on Tuesday night.
Joining the Badgers from the Big Ten Conference in the rankings are Michigan State, Michigan, Maryland and Purdue. The Spartans are in the Top 10 at No. 8 this week.
Auburn is the top team in both polls, receiving all 60 first-place votes in the AP Poll and 28 of 30 in the Coaches. Duke is No. 2 followed by Florida, Houston, Tennessee, Alabama, St. John’s, the Spartans, Iowa State and Texas Tech.
