LINCOLN, Neb. - Nebraska climbed higher in the Top 25 entering Monday's rankings at No. 5. 

The Huskers (20-0, 9-0) picked up a pair of wins last week, outlasting Washington 76-66 on Wednesday and rolled past Minnesota 76-57 on Saturday. 

The Huskers head to Ann Arbor on Tuesday to visit No. 3 Michigan in an all-top 5 clash.
