A new No. 1-ranked team was crowned in the latest USA TODAY Sports Men's Basketball Coaches Poll after Arizona suffered its first two losses in back-to-back fashion against Kansas and Texas Tech last week.

Michigan (24-1) took over the top spot in the poll on Monday, Feb. 16, and has won 10 consecutive games since dropping its only game this season against Wisconsin on Jan. 10. Nine of its wins during the win streak have been by double digits, outside of its 75-72 win over No. 9 Nebraska.
