Michigan men's basketball hasn't played a game since Jan. 22, but the Wolverines continue to rise in the national rankings.
Michigan (13-1) is ranked third in the latest Associated Press poll, released Monday, behind No. 1 Gonzaga (18-0) and No. 2 Baylor (17-0). Michigan was ranked fourth last week.
It's the highest ranking for Michigan since the 2018-19 season, when the Wolverines got up to No. 2 for four weeks after starting the season 17-0.
The Michigan athletic department remains in a pause amid concern for the variant strain of COVID-19, which has been seen in Washtenaw County.
