IU moved up again in the AP and coaches' poll, this time to No. 12 from No. 13 in the AP and No. 12 from No. 15 in the Coaches' poll.
The bump in the rankings comes after a week in which IU suffered its first loss of a the season (an 80-65 defeat at then-No. 16 Michigan State) and knocked off another top two ranked opponent (a 74-70 win against then-No. 2 Ohio State).
The win over Ohio State not only set the wins record (13) for the Tom Crean era, it also marked the first time in program history in which IU knocked off a No. 1 and No. 2 opponent in the same season.
While IU jumped a couple spots in both polls, it remained third in the Big Ten, getting passed up by No. 10/11 Michigan State but hurdling No. 18/19 Wisconsin. Michigan rounded out the four Big Ten teams ranked in the Coaches' poll top 13.
The Hoosiers will face their third straight ranked Big Ten foe when they take on No. 13/16 Michigan at 9 p.m. on Thursday night at Assembly Hall.
