Men’s hoops climbs poll

The Iowa men’s basketball team (18-6, 7-4) moved up one spot to No. 16 in the latest AP Top-25 poll.

Despite a midweek, 76-69 home loss to unranked Ohio State, the Hawkeyes 85-67 blowout victory over previously No. 10 Michigan was enough for pollsters to bump Fran McCaffery’s squad up from their No. 17 slot a week ago.

Iowa has the week off before traveling to Penn State on Saturday. In addition to Iowa, four Big Ten schools appear in this week’s rankings: Michigan State (9), Michigan (15), Wisconsin (21), and Ohio State (22).
