NCAA Division II Men’s Basketball Rankings: CSOM Moves Up

Things have changed in the updated Division II men’s basketball rankings outside of the top three, with some teams taking painful losses that have caused them to lose positioning.

Multiple teams dropped out of the top ten after last week’s many upsets, causing teams that had been in the middle of the rankings for most of the year to move up.

  • Valdosta State men’s basketball also benefited from other teams’ shortcomings, going up eight spots from no. 18 to no. 11.
  • Findlay MBB is the new No. 5 team moving up from the nine spots, with two large deficit wins over Ashland and Tiffin.
