Two wins, and two spots.

The Michigan men's basketball team has moved up to No. 4 in the country, from No. 6, in the latest Associated Press rankings, released Monday.

Michigan, with wins over Buffalo and Prairie View A&M to start the season, jumped ahead of Villanova and Texas in the latest top 25.

Michigan head coach Juwan Howard talks to his team during a timeout in the second half of Saturday's college basketball game against Prairie View A&M in Washington.

Gonzaga, UCLA and Kansas remained first, second and third in the poll.

Other ranked Big Ten teams include Purdue (sixth), Illinois (10th), Ohio State (19th) and Maryland (20th).

Michigan State (1-1) remains out of the top 25 but did receive votes again.
