Official NABC Rankings Release
KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Two Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) remain ranked inside the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) Division II Top 25 poll released on Tuesday (Feb. 23).
Ashland, 23-4 overall and 17-4 in the GLIAC and one win away from their first-ever outright GLIAC South Division championship, are ranked No. 11 in the latest poll – the program's highest ranking since March 4, 1991, also No. 11.
Saginaw Valley (22-5, 18-3 GLIAC) fell four positions to No. 16 after another a 1-1 week with a three point loss at Grand Valley on Thursday (Feb. 18) before clinching at least a share of the 2016 GLIAC title on Saturday (Feb. 20) at home over Ferris State in come-from-behind fashion. The Cardinals clinched their first conference crown for the first time in 30 seasons after 28 points from junior forward C.J. Turnage clinched the No. 1 overall seed in the upcoming 2016 GLIAC Men's Basketball Tournament.
Ferris State and Findlay appear outside the Top 25 in the also receiving votes category in this week's poll.
