Marauders Garner First Ever Mention in NABC Division II Men's Basketball Poll

Kansas City, MO - Coming on the heels of an eight game winning streak, the University of Mary men's basketball team received recognition in the national basketball poll. In the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) NCAA Division II Coaches' Top 25 Poll released today, the Marauders received one vote.
The Marauders, who are 15-4 overall and 11-4 in the Northern Sun to earn a tie for second in the conference standings, have never received a vote in the NABC Division II poll previously. Ranked eighth in the NCAA Central Region rankings released last week, the Marauders moved into NCAA Division II competition in 2006.
Just two NSIC teams picked up votes in the poll. Minnesota State University is ranked tenth. In the only game against teams ranked in the top 25, U-Mary is 1-0, defeating MSU 84-69 at home on Jan. 15.
U-Mary won eight of nine games in January, including victories in six of seven games on the road and wins in the squad's only two home games in the month. During the current win streak, only one game was decided by less than ten points.
The 15 wins accumulated this year already equals the team's win total for all of last season with seven regular season games to play.
After playing the past two weeks and four of the last five weeks on the road, the Marauders return home to host the University of Minnesota Crookston on Friday and Minnesota State University Moorhead on Saturday, Feb. 4-5.
