How the Coach's (Basketball) Poll Reacts to B1G Results

Much to my surprise, there has been some demand to look at the relationship between basketball results and the Coach's Poll, the same way I have looked at B1G football results and the Coach's Poll. Apologies for any errors; copying results off of ESPN.com and lining it up by week was an invitation to mix a few things up (an opportunity I am sure I took).  Also, I know some of the games at tournaments are not accurately labeled--I might have to update.

How to read: The week reflects the week of the results; RESULT #XX reflects the poll ranking following those results.  This is intended to make it easier to follow a potential cause (results) with the effect (ranking).

1. There seem to be fewer inexplicable jumps when looking solely at a team's results than in football (there is no equivalent to NW's incredible jump after clubbing a floundering Illinois team).  The closest I could find is MSU losing @ YTM and still going up two slots.  But other than that...
2. It appears that if you lose, no matter how good the opponent and how highly ranked you are, the team is going to drop.  This is in contrast with football, where a team who played a very tough road game (like Indiana at Butler, or Michigan at Ohio*) and lost would not slide more than a slot or two.
3. I do not know whether it is that there are more games, the voters play closer attention, or the box score really does tell you more (there is no bball equivalent to a fluke game-changing interception or punt return for touchdown, at least in terms of magnitude), or that the computer ranking system is more respected for basketball (RPI vs BCS), but there appears to be a higher correlation between team results and moves in the rankings despite having significantly more basketball teams.
