WICHITA FALLS, Texas - Midwestern State remains on the outside looking into the latest National Association of Basketball Coaches' Association Division II Coaches' Poll released Tuesday afternoon.
 
The Mustangs, who improved to 5-1 by extended their current winning streak to five games with a pair of Lone Star Conference crossover victories last week, are still receiving votes.

Bellarmine (Ky.) who claimed roads win over No. 21 Southern Indiana and No. 23 Northern Kentucky last week claimed the No. 1 position after defending NCAA Division II national champion Cal Poly Pomona who suffered losses on consecutive days to Cal State-Dominguez Hills and Cal State-Los Angeles.
