The Wisconsin Badgers stay put in the latest USA TODAY Sports Men’s Basketball Coaches Poll:

Wisconsin basketball moves into the top 15 of the latest USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll

Despite not playing this past week, the Badgers move into the top 15 of the latest USA TODAY Sports Men’s Basketball Coaches Poll:

Despite not playing this week after their game against Grambling State was canceled due to weather, the Wisconsin Badgers moved up three spots to No. 15 in the latest USA TODAY Sports Men’s Basketball Coaches Poll.

Since the Badgers did not play, they moved up because of the fall of several other teams including Illinois. The Fighting Illini dropped six spots to No. 22 after getting upset 93-71 by the Missouri Tigers in their third-straight loss.

The USA TODAY Sports Men’s Basketball Coaches Poll top 10 for this week includes Tennessee(10), Alabama(9), UCLA(8), Arkansas(7), Texas(6), Arizona(5), Kansas(4), Houston(3), Connecticut(2) and Purdue(1).

Wisconsin basketball is left out of latest USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll

Wisconsin basketball surprisingly remains outside the latest USA TODAY Sports Men’s Basketball Coaches Poll:

Despite beating Dayton, USC and nearly Kansas in the Battle 4 Atlantis last week, the Wisconsin Badgers remain outside the latest USA TODAY Sports Men’s Basketball Coaches Poll.

The Badgers, unfortunately, garnered only 15 votes this week, which is one less than they received last week. This is not completely bad news, as the Badgers have moved up to the fifth-team receiving votes outside the poll from sixth in the previous poll.

It is a bit surprising to see the Badgers not make the cut, but they will have plenty of opportunities to add to their resume in conference play since six Big Ten teams are currently ranked.
