Ohio State didn't move at all.

The Buckeyes stayed at No. 4 in the latest Associated Press top-25 poll released on Monday afternoon less than 24 hours after losing to No. 3 Michigan, 92-87, in what many neutral observes have claimed to be the best college basketball game of the season up to this point.

Last week, they went 1-1, first beating Penn State then losing to the Wolverines. Ohio State is now 18-5 overall and 12-5 within the Big Ten.

Four other Big Ten teams joined the Buckeyes in the top-25 poll: No. 3 Michigan, No. 5 Illinois, No. 9 Iowa and No. 23 Wisconsin.

Before the next poll drops, Ohio State will play games against Michigan State (Thursday) and Iowa (Sunday).
