There was no movement for Michigan State basketball in the latest Associated Press (AP) Top 25 poll released on Monday, with the Spartans staying at No. 4 in the rankings.

The Spartans won their only game last week against Oakland, 109-91. MSU was scheduled to play Virginia as part of the ACC-Big Ten Challenge on Wednesday, but that game was forced to be canceled after the Cavaliers had a positive COVID-19 test.

Gonzaga (No. 1), Baylor (No. 2) and Iowa (No. 3) all remained the same as well in the poll.

There were a total of seven Big Ten teams in this week’s rankings, with Michigan moving up to No. 25 in the latest poll.
