OLATHE, Kan. - For the second-consecutive week, MidAmerica Nazarene (Kan.) earned the No. 1 spot in the NAIA Division II Men's Basketball Top 25, receiving 15 first-place votes to finish ahead of Sioux Falls (S.D.) and Point Park (Pa.), who each got one first-place nod and sit at No. 2 and No. 3, respectively in this week's Top 25 rating.
Warner Pacific (Ore.) moved up a spot from No. 5 to No. 4, while Huntington (Ind.) fills out the top five by falling three spots into the No. 5 slot this week. Bellevue (Neb.) remained No. 6 for the second-straight week and is followed in order by Oregon Tech, Embry-Riddle (Fla.) and Indiana Wesleyan, who all stayed put from a week ago. The Top 10's only other shuffle came in the No. 10 spot, where Walsh (Ohio) moved up from No. 11 to replace Benedictine (Kan.), who fell from tenth to the No. 13 position in this week's rating.
