Michigan men's basketball fell out of the USA Today Coaches Poll a week ago following a 27-point blowout loss to Purdue, but the Wolverines find themselves back in the Top 25 after rebounding with wins over Penn State and Rutgers last week.

On Monday, the Wolverines came in at No. 22 in the latest update to the Coaches Poll, joining five other Big Ten teams in the rankings: No. 7 Purdue, No. 9 Michigan State, No. 19 Wisconsin, No. 24 Maryland and No. 25 Illinois.

Michigan has a big week ahead with a home game vs. Oregon on Wednesday preceding a road trip to Indiana on Saturday. The Wolverines currently sit in third place in the Big Ten, trailing rival Michigan State (18-3, 9-1) and Purdue (17-5, 9-2) in the conference standings with 10 games remaining.
