IU moved up six spots to No. 12 in this week’s AP Top 25, while also jumping four spots in the USA Today Coaches Poll to No. 11.
This is the highest the Hoosiers have been ranked in both polls this season. The Hoosiers had just one game last week, a dominant 74-47 win against Illinois.
The Hoosiers were guaranteed a share of the Big Ten regular season title after Iowa lost to Ohio State on Sunday. They can win the title outright by beating No. 16 Iowa on Tuesday night or by winning against No. 14 Maryland next Sunday in their final game of the season.
IU is now the second-highest-ranked of five Big Ten teams in both the AP and Coaches Poll this week.
Other Big Ten teams in the Top 25 include No. 2 Michigan State, which IU lost to earlier this season in East Lansing, Michigan, and No. 15 Purdue.
