WICHITA FALLS, Texas – The MSU Denver men's basketball team has dropped No. 10 in the South Central Region in the Division II Sports Information Directors Association poll.
MSU Denver, 8-3, lost Wednesday to Colorado School of Mines, which moved up from No. 9 to No. 7 in the poll.
The D2SIDA region polls aren't affiliated with the official NCAA region rankings which start late in the season and are eventually used to determine at-large qualifiers for the NCAA Tournament.
MSU Denver, ranked 18th and 16th in the national polls last week, returns to action Jan. 6, at home against Chadron State in a 3:30 p.m. game that will be televised on Channel 3.
