INDIANAPOLIS – The MSU Denver men's basketball team jumped one spot to sixth in the South Central Region of this week's D2CSC Division II Media Poll.

The Roadrunners went 2-0 over the weekend defeating Chadron State and South Dakota Mines at home by narrow margins. They now sit at 18-6 overall with a 12-4 record in the RMAC.
Colorado School of Mines still sits at No. 2 in the region, while Regis dropped to the No. 7 spot. Fort Lewis stays in the No. 9 position, while UCCS made an appearance in the poll, tied for No. 10 with West Texas A&M out of the Lone Star Conference.
The Roadrunners will play their final regular season home game on Tuesday, February 18 against the number one team in the RMAC, the Colorado School of Mines Orediggers, before going back on the road for the final three games of the regular season at Regis, CSU Pueblo, and Colorado Christian.
