That didn’t last long.
Michigan State remained ahead of Michigan in the Associated Press Top 25 poll for all of one week, with the Wolverines climbing to No. 7 this week, and the Spartans dropping to No. 9.
Michigan State (23-6) was ranked No. 6 last week, but dropped three spots thanks to Saturday’s 63-62 loss at Indiana. Michigan (26-4), meanwhile, went on the road Sunday and toppled then-No. 17 Maryland, 69-62, to power its move up two spots.
The two meet Saturday night in East Lansing.
