MADISON – The top of the Big Ten men’s basketball standings are getting crowded.
Michigan State and Illinois are arm-wrestling for first place at 5-0.
The team next in line at 5-1? That would be Wisconsin, which was picked 10th in the league’s preseason media poll.
UW, ranked No. 13 in both major top 25 polls, closed the gap on the leaders with an impressive 78-68 victory over No. 15 Ohio State Thursday night at the Kohl Center.
