The UMD men’s basketball team is ranked 16th in the first National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) poll of the year.

After coming into the season initially ranked 12th, a 3-1 record has dropped them four spots.

UMD has beaten Oklahoma Baptist, Parkside, and Davenport, while losing to East Central on November 11th.

The bulldogs have yet to play at home, and that streak continues this weekend when they play Michigan tech on the road.
