The Wisconsin men moved up five spots in both the AP and Coaches Polls, which were released on Monday.

The Badgers are 15th in the Coaches Poll and come in at No. 16 in the latest AP Poll.

Auburn maintained the top spot in the AP Poll, but saw Alabama gain plenty of ground. In fact, the Tide surpassed their in-state rival for the top position in the Coaches Poll despite the Tigers receiving one more first-place vote.

Four SEC schools – Auburn, Alabama, Florida and Tennessee – each received first-place votes in the AP Poll. Duke and Florida tied for the third spot followed by Tennessee, Houston, Purdue, Texas A&M, St. John’s and Iowa State.

Wisconsin is the third-highest Big Ten Conference team, with Michigan State coming in at No. 11. Michigan and Maryland are also both ranked from the league.
