Wisconsin continues to impress the college basketball world this season, and in turn, continue to rise in the rankings. After two solid wins over the course of last week, the Badgers now sit at No. 12 in the latest release of the AP Top 25 poll—jumping ten spots from No. 22.
The Badgers (7-1, 1-0 Big Ten) started their week with a win at the Kohl Center against a previously unbeaten N.C. State team. Wisconsin trailed for much of the contest before rallying late to mount a 79-75 comeback win over the Wolfpack. A big contribution was made by redshirt sophomore D’Mitrik Trice as he poured in 18 points and tallied 6 assists.
