The Spartans rise up the rankings was expected after MSU won all three games last week — including a road victory over then-No. 6 Duke.
Here is a breakdown of the Big Ten teams in this week’s rankings:
- No. 3 – Iowa
- No. 4 – Michigan State
- No. 6 – Illinois
- No. 13 – Wisconsin
- No. 21 – Rutgers
- No. 22 – Ohio State
The Spartans return to the court on Wednesday against No. 18 Virginia. This road match-up is part of the ACC-Big Ten Challenge, and will tip-off at 9:15 p.m. ET.
