MSU basketball experiences significant drop in update AP Poll

Michigan State basketball experienced a significant drop in the newly released Associated Press (AP) top 25 rankings.

The updated poll was released on Monday, with the Spartans sliding from No. 4 to No. 18. The significant drop for the Spartans should come as no surprise after losing their season-opener to James Madison — who checks in at No. 24 in this week’s poll.
