Fort Hays State Men’s Basketball is receiving votes in the latest NABC Division II Poll, released on Tuesday (Jan. 19). Fort Hays State is one of two MIAA schools receiving votes in the poll.
After a pair of wins at home last week, Fort Hays State owns the best overall record in the MIAA at 13-4. The Tigers received 10 votes in the latest poll, while Northwest Missouri State received nine votes. The Tigers and Bearcats are the only teams from the MIAA referenced in the latest poll. The MIAA has been so competitive top to bottom this year that there are currently no teams inside the top 25.
Northwest Missouri State has an overall record of 11-5, but the Bearcats are tied for first in the MIAA standings at 8-3, while FHSU is 7-4. The Tigers and Bearcats meet this weekend, part of a two-game road trip. FHSU plays at Missouri Western on Thursday before playing the Bearcats on Saturday in Maryville, Mo.
Below is the NABC Division II Poll for January 19, 2016.
