Michigan basketball continues to impress the Associated Press Top 25 voters.

In the new poll released Monday, U-M jumped from seventh to fifth. The Wolverines (8-0) enjoyed a nice week with blowout home wins over ranked North Carolina and Purdue.

Michigan State wasn't quite as lucky, but remains a top-10 team. The Sparatns (6-2), which loss at Louisville before winning at Rutgers, dropped one spot from last week.
