Who climbed the most in this week's AP Poll Top 25?

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish climbed up the AP Poll the most as they jumped five spots and now sit in the ninth ranking. As the fourth seed in the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament, they could defeat the fifth-seed Louisville Cardinals, top-seed Virginia Tech Hokies and second-seed NC State Wolfpack.

Who has fallen the most in this week's AP Poll Top 25?

The Ohio State Buckeyes and the Indiana Hoosiers fell the most as they are down three spots compared to their standings last week. The Buckeyes lost in the Big Ten tournament quarterfinals to the Maryland Terrapins 82-61 and were eliminated without winning a single game. They never had a chance, as they never held the lead after the 6:29 mark in the second quarter.

The Hoosiers had a tough showing in the Big Ten tournament, as they also were upset in the quarterfinals. The Michigan Wolverines knocked them off with a 69-56 final score. Indiana controlled the game for a while, but a 29-13 run in the fourth quarter for Michigan propelled them to victory and eliminated the Hoosiers.

The two upsets made the tournament very interesting, but expect both teams to hear their names during Selection Sunday.
