CHAMPAIGN — Illinois was at least going to hold serve in the Associated Press Top 25 after Ayo Dosunmu helped the Illini avoid an upset Friday night at Nebraska. Villanova losing by 16 at Creighton on Saturday, though, opened the door for a small jump in the poll.
And that’s exactly what happened. Illinois (14-5, 10-3 Big Ten) moved up one spot to No. 5 when this week’s AP Top 25 was released late Monday morning.
Illinois was one of five Big Ten teams ranked Monday and the third of three in the top five. The conference is still led by No. 3 Michigan in the AP Top 25, with Ohio State also holding steady at No. 4. A pair of wins last week saw Iowa climb to No. 11, while Wisconsin remained at No. 21 after last week’s split (beat Nebraska, lost to Michigan).
