Michigan stretched its lead a bit over Arizona in this week's voting for the USA TODAY Sports men's basketball coaches poll, and a previously unbeaten team taking its first loss shuffled the top five.
The Wolverines received 20 of 31 first-place votes and are 10 poll points ahead of the Wildcats. Arizona claimed all 11 of the remaining top votes, with a single second-place nod going to No. 3 Iowa State. Connecticut and Purdue each move up a spot to round out the top five as Duke slips from third to sixth following its loss to No. 16 Texas Tech.
