Despite not receiving much love from the college basketball voters, the Wisconsin men’s basketball team sits solidly in the upper part of the Big Ten power rank

Not many things are better at making a top-ranked college basketball team temporarily lose focus like a nonconference game against a mid-major opponent two days before Christmas. Tennessee learned this Monday night.

Tennessee received 38 more first-place votes than Auburn in last week's Associated Press Top 25 poll. My guess is that the gap between the two programs will close some Monday when things update given what Bruce Pearl's Tigers just did to Purdue.
