An eight-day run that Wisconsin coach Bo Ryan called a "huge week" has the Badgers at their highest ranking ever.

A road win over Marquette started the stretch and it ended with Saturday's 89-75 victory over then-No. 2 Pittsburgh. The two wins, along with a midweek victory over Wisconsin-Milwaukee, helped the Badgers (11-1) jump from seventh to No. 4 in the AP poll released Monday.
