LILBURN, Ga. — Minnesota State continues to make its mark on the national stage, holding firm at No. 2 in the WBCA Coaches Poll for the ninth straight week. MSU is also the lone representative from the NSIC appearing in the top-25 this week. 

The Mavericks remain unbeaten on the season and are one of just two Division II programs nationwide without a loss, alongside No. 1 Grand Valley State. MSU preserved its perfect record last weekend with dominant road victories over Minnesota Crookston, 98–70, and MSU Moorhead, 97–64.

Up next, the Mavericks return home to the Taylor Center on Thursday, Feb. 5, where they will host Sioux Falls in a 5:30 p.m. tipoff.
