The Badger basketball team fell four spots in this week’s Associated Press Top 25 poll, after splitting a pair of games last week. The Badgers sit at number 16 after winning over Rutgers last Monday and falling in overtime to Marquette on Saturday. Kansas is the new number one team in the nation, with Duke at two, Tennessee at three, Gonzaga down to four and Michigan at five. The rest of the top ten includes Virginia, Nevada, Auburn, Michigan State and Florida State. Marquette finds itself back into the poll this week – the Golden Eagles slide into the rankings at number 21.

Happ averaged 27 points, seven rebounds and three assists per game, including a career-high 34 points and 11 rebounds in Saturday’s overtime loss to Marquette. Happ also scored 20 points in a win over Rutgers last Monday.
