The Spartans jumped three spots in the Associated Press Top 25 poll released today to No. 6. In the USA Today/ESPN coaches poll, MSU is No. 5.
Michigan State defeated Michigan, 54-42, last Tuesday. MSU also benefited from losses by Duke, Wake Forest and Marquette last week.
Michigan, who rebounded from the MSU loss with a 70-67 overtime win at Northwestern on Sunday, did not receive a vote in either poll.
Connecticut (24-1), the runaway No. 1 for a third straight week, hosts No. 4 Pittsburgh (23-2) tonight. Oklahoma (25-1) held No. 2, while North Carolina (23-2) stayed third.
Washington, which was ranked for two weeks before falling out for one poll, returned this week at No. 22 and was joined by newcomers LSU and Dayton, which were 23rd and 25th.
They replace Utah State, Ohio State and Florida State, who all lost one game last week.
