Truman Men Up To 8th in the D2 Poll

Despite being idle last week with Covid-19 related postponements, the Truman Men’s Basketball team moved up two spots to number 8 in this week’s NABC national poll. The Bulldogs remain the only GLVC team in the top 25, but Missouri-St. Louis and Southwest Baptist are receiving votes. Colorado School of Mines, Northern State, and Northwest Misssouri State remain the top three teams. Due to contact tracing, the Bulldogs next game is scheduled for February 4th against Indianapolis at Pershing Arena. You can find the full D2 Poll with this story at centralmoinfo.com.
