Now with seven wins and zero losses, Michigan basketball is making moves in the college basketball world. Not only are the Wolverines the only undefeated team in the Big Ten as of current, but they’re also only one of six teams in the latest rankings to maintain a zero in the loss column.
With the latest USA TODAY Coaches Poll coming out on Monday, the maize and blue are slowly, but surely, gaining more respect from their peers. While they were ranked No. 19 last week, with the win over Nebraska on Christmas Day, Michigan has moved up to No. 15.
Still, there are a ton of tough games left on the schedule. That includes matchups vs. No. 7 Wisconsin, No. 11 Iowa, No. 13 Rutgers, No. 16 Illinois, No. 18 Michigan State, No. 20 Ohio State, No. 22 Northwestern and No. 24 Minnesota.
