Following three consecutive victories, including an 85-74 win over USC on Saturday night, Michigan men's basketball has reentered the Associated Press Top 25.

The Wolverines sit at No. 24 in the latest rankings, which were released Monday afternoon. Michigan is one of six Big Ten programs represented in the poll, joining No. 13 Illinois, No. 15 Oregon, No. 16 Michigan State, No. 20 Purdue and No. 22 UCLA.

Michigan climbed as high as No. 14 in the AP poll this season after an 8-1 start to the year. However, after back-to-back tight losses to Arkansas (89-87) and current-No. 17 Oklahoma (87-86) the Wolverines fell out of the rankings. U-M has rebounded with wins over Purdue-Fort Wayne (89-58), Western Kentucky (112-64) and USC.
