Huntington joined Bethel in the latest NAIA Men's Basketball Coaches' Top 25 poll released by the national office Monday. The MCC boasts four schools in the top 25.

After suffering its first loss of the season to Indiana Wesleyan last week, the Pilots fell two spots to No. 4. Bethel has a 7-1, 2-1 MCC mark for the season and will host the Gates Automotive Classic this weekend.

Huntington also dropped its first contest of the season in an overtime thriller at Grace. The loss came on the heels of their first conference win of the season to leave the Foresters at 10-1, 1-1 MCC for the year. Despite the setback Huntington improved two spots to round out the top 10.

The pair of Cougars improved in the rankings and round out the MCC schools in the top 25 at No. 21 and 22. Saint Francis lost by 12 points to Spring Arbor last week but are one spot ahead of the Michigan school in the rankings.

With a perfect 10-0 record, defending national champion Oklahoma Wesleyan holds as the No. 1 team in the nation. The Eagles notched all 14 first-place votes and 374 total points.
