NABC/Division II men's basketball poll
Dec. 1, 2009

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - The top four spots remained unchanged this week in the new NABC/Division II coaches poll, with only a mild shakeup taking place among the top 10 due to losses by two of the teams ranked among that group a week ago.

Bellarmine and Southwest Baptist also moved up one spot apiece to sixth and seventh, respectively, followed by Indiana (Pa.), Findlay and Bentley to round out the top 10.

All four of the newcomers to this week's Top 25 are among the final five teams in the poll, headed by Georgia College and State at No. 21.  Minnesota State is ranked 22nd and Midwestern State 23rd, then Winona State - 14th a week ago - comes in at No. 24 followed by Anderson in the final spot.
