Official NABC Rankings Release
KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Ferris State is representing the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) as the lone squad inside the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) Division II Top 25 poll released on Tuesday (Nov. 28) prior to the start of GLIAC play this Thursday (Nov. 30).
The Ferris State Bulldogs are ranked No. 5 in the country with a nation's best 8-0 record.

The well-rounded Bulldogs have three Top 25 wins on the season and are scorching hot heading into conference play.
Lake Superior State and Ashland appear outside the Top 25 in the also receiving votes category in this week's poll.
