Michigan State drops in Associated Press Top 25 college basketball poll

After debuting in the Associated Press Top 25 college basketball poll last week, Michigan State took a tumble Monday.

The Spartans dropped eight spots to No. 20 in this week's poll, following a 2-1 showing at the Phil Knight Invitational in Portland, Oregon.

Michigan State, playing without regulars Jaden Akins and Malik Hall, opened the tournament with an 81-70 loss to then-No. 18 Alabama, before bouncing back with close victories over Oregon and host Portland.
