Big Ten in updated coaches -voting, AP Top 25

(This story has been updated to add new information).

Over the past several months a handful of challengers have emerged as the Big Ten’s best hopes for his first men’s basketball National Championship Team since 2000.

The program, which won the now 25-year-old title, Michigan State, is one of them with a surprising 18-3 record. Purdue Isn’t quite where it was last season with Zach Edey, but it’s not very far away with Braden Smith, who was a leader. WisconsinWith a potent and shockingly fast violation, it is excellent. The Nykoms Oregon and UCLA have turned heads. Few teams in the country are playing better than Maryland right now. And Michigan, behind a couple of versatile 7-foot, has impressed in his first season during Dusty May.

The last week included some notable results that shape both the conference and the national landscape. Tom Izzo’s Spartans saw their 13-match victory traits come to an end in a loss on the USC. Maryland knocked Wisconsin 76-58. UCLA blasted Oregon 78-52. Purdue held Archrival Indiana 81-76.
