The Wisconsin men’s basketball team moved up five spots to No. 17 in the latest AP Top 25 College Basketball Poll.

Most recently, the Badgers (9-2 overall and 2-0 in the Big Ten) beat Lehigh last Thursday 78-56, after trailing in the first half. Wisconsin also had a pair of Big Ten wins over Maryland and Iowa last week.

UW, which won a share of the Big Ten regular-season title in 2019-20 and again last season, was picked at the beginning of the season to finish 9th in the conference.
