Men’s Basketball Polls
The latest AP Poll is out for college basketball, and the Michigan State Spartans have jumped to No. 4 in the latest poll. This marks the 11th time in the last 13 seasons that MSU has been ranked in the top-five at some point in the national polls. Elsewhere in the Big Ten, there are three schools in the top-10 and six in the top-25, both nation bests although the ACC ties one of those feats with six teams also in the top-25.
MSU’s opponent for the ACC/Big Ten Challenge on Wednesday, Virginia, comes in at No. 18 in this week’s poll. Illinois-Duke will be a top-10 matchup elsewhere in the Challenge, while Iowa-North Carolina will be top-20 and the would be top-25 matchup between Wisconsin-Louisville has been cancelled due to COVID-19 issues among the Louisville program. Michigan-NC State has also been cancelled, with both teams receiving votes in the Coaches Poll.
