Michigan and Michigan State won’t play each other for more than a month, but with both teams 5-0 in the Big Ten and tied atop the league standings interest in the in-state programs is heating up. Michigan head coach Dusty May was asked about the rivalry on Monday.

Michigan (13-3, 5-0 Big Ten) is one of five teams in the Big Ten which made this week's top 25. Michigan State basketball jumped from No. 14 to No. 12, while No. 14 Oregon, No. 15 Purdue and No. 20 Illinois all remained in the poll, and Wisconsin, Indiana, Maryland and UCLA all received votes.
