MU jumps to No. 8 in poll; UW drops to 12

Marquette (6-0) jumped to No. 8 in the Associated Press Top 25 men's college basketball rankings today, while Wisconsin (5-1) dropped from No. 7 to No. 12.

The Golden Eagles' rise from No. 13 last week follows their 73-62 victory over Duke last Tuesday. The Badgers lost Friday to unranked Missouri State, 66-64. UCLA took over the No. 1 spot in the AP poll, followed by Pittsburgh, Ohio State, Florida and Kansas. Alabama and North Carolina were just ahead of Marquette at No. 6 and 7.

In the ESPN/USA Today coaches poll, Marquette was ranked No. 9 and Wisconsin No. 13.

Marquette and Wisconsin play each other Dec. 9 at the Bradley Center.
