WICHITA FALLS, Texas - Midwestern State slipped two spots to No. 23 in the latest National Association of Basketball Coaches' Division II after splitting a pair of Lone Star Conference Crossover contests last week.
The Mustangs had their 12-game winning streak snapped at the hands of Central Oklahoma, which moved up three spots to No. 15 this week, to fall to 12-2 on the season.
The teams are just two of six teams from the rugged South Central Region to receiving mention in this week's poll which also includes No. 3 Fort Hays State (Kan.), No. 12 Incarnate Word, No. 19 West Texas A&M and No. 22 Missouri Southern.
Midwestern State opens Lone Star Conference South Division play Wednesday night against Angelo State at Junell Center/Stephens Arena. Tipoff is set for 7:30 p.m.
