After a week that included a big win over then-first-place Purdue, the resignation of their coach, and a slim victory over last-place Northwestern, the Indiana Hoosiers jumped two places to #12 in the ESPN/USA Today Top 25 Coaches Poll Monday.

The Hoosiers (23-4) are once again the highest-ranked team amongst four Indiana schools in the poll.

Butler (25-3) dropped a 71-64 decision to then-#18 Drake in Bracket Busters action Saturday at Hinkle Fieldhouse and tumbled five positions to #13 - the largest drop of any team in the ranking.

Notre Dame (21-5) posted the second-largest gain in this week's poll, moving up four spots to #17 after defeating Pittsburgh and Syracuse in the Big East.

Purdue (21-6) fell four spots to #19 after losing to Indiana in their only game of the week.
