CHAMPAIGN — A scare on Sunday against Gardner-Webb after winning the Maui Invitational didn't keep Illinois from cracking the college basketball polls.

In the new polls released today, unbeaten Illinois came in at No. 22 in the Associated Press poll and No. 22 in the coaches poll. Illinois is one of five Big Ten teams to be ranked in both Top 25s. Indiana (No. 1 AP/No. 1 Coaches), Michigan (3/3), Ohio State (4/4) and Michigan State (13/14) are the others.

The Illini last played a game as a ranked team Jan. 22, 2012. No. 22 Illinois was beaten 67-63 by unranked Wisconsin. That same week, Illinois was beaten on the road by Penn State.
