It was hard to know what to expect from Michigan men's basketball in Year 1 under new head coach Dusty May, but after a 13-3 start to the year, including a 5-0

In men's college basketball this weekend, Michigan and Michigan State continued fast starts in the Big Ten as top teams survived tough road contests.

The Michigan men’s basketball team was rewarded for another strong week by moving up in Monday’s AP Top 25 poll. The Wolverines improved four spots to No. 20 in the weekly poll. They beat Washington at home on Sunday, 91-75, and won at then-No. 22 UCLA 94-75 on Tuesday. They have won five straight games and are 13-3 overall.

There is a lot to unpack in this week's Associated Press Top 25 men's basketball poll, released on Monday, with a new team at the top and several changes throughout the rankings following an action-packed and historical week.

The Badgers have won five in a row, and voters in the Associated Press men's college basketball rankings have taken notice.
