Where is Michigan State basketball ranked in this week's poll? The Spartans are No. 7 in the USA TODAY Coaches Poll.

Michigan State basketball keeps taking down ranked opponents, but the AP poll voters don't seem to care, at least for now, as the Spartans were held at No. 8 in the latest AP poll despite recent wins over No.

Michigan State is still in the top 10 of the AP poll. The Spartans (24-5, 15-3 Big Ten) have a one-game lead in the conference standings, following a buzzer-beating road win at Maryland and a home win over Wisconsin on Sunday. MSU finishes the regular season Thursday at Iowa and at home against Michigan, which dropped to No. 15.

A pivotal Big Ten game took place Sunday between No. 8 Michigan State and No. 12 Wisconsin. Here's a recap of the updates, score and highlights.

East Lansing will host a major men's Big Ten basketball battle when the No. 8 Michigan State Spartans face the No. 11 Wisconsin Badgers on Sunday afternoon. Tom Izzo's Spartans can remain atop the Big Ten standings with a win at the Breslin Center.
