BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — The Indiana Hoosiers went from No. 10 in the Associated Press Top 25 Poll to No. 14 tied with Arizona.

South Carolina still holds the No. 1 spot in the AP Poll followed by Stanford, NC State, Louisville and Baylor who all held onto their previous ranks from the week before.

Michigan is the highest-ranked Big Ten team at No. 10 immediately followed by Maryland, Iowa, Ohio State and Indiana. This is the first time this season all of the Big Ten teams have been ranked one after the other.
