Ohio State remained fifth while the other three Big Ten teams slipped in the final Associated Press men's basketball poll of the season.

Purdue tumbled from sixth to10th after being blown out by Minnesota in the semifinals of the Big Ten tournament, while Michigan slid from 11th to 13th and Wisconsin fell from 13th to 16th.

Kansas was a unanimous No. 1 and topped the poll for the 15th week, matching the most time at the top since Duke went wire to wire in 1991-92

That Purdue team that tanked for MN cost IL a trip to the big dance. They did us a favor. This current team was a one or two and done at best. Now. They are the top team. They should earn a trip to MSG and should be in the final game. That's three to five more games to develop! They can learn how to close, learn how to deal with pressure, and learn to bring it every night. Then, add this to the four talented guys coming in, and now they can do some damage in the big dance. The defense really looked strong during the BTT. Paul seems ready to start. Go get 'em!
