The MCC continues to hold three top 10 spots and a fourth in the NAIA Men's Basketball Coaches' Top 25 poll.

 
For the second consecutive week Indiana Wesleyan sits at its season-best No. 5 position. Winners of 17 of their last 18 games, the Wildcats hold a league-best 10-2 MCC record and a 22-4 mark overall.
   
Remaining in the league's second slot with a 9-3 conference record, Saint Francis moved up from No. 8 to No. 7 this week. The Cougars (21-5) have won six of their last seven and will host IWU on Tuesday.
 
Bethel also improves one spot to No. 8 after sitting at a season-low No. 9 for two straight weeks. Just a half game out of first place in the MCC, the Pilots (22-4, 10-3) have three league games remaining, two of which come on the road.
   
After falling to a pair of top 10 opponents last week (78-72 vs. Bethel, 79-61 at IWU), Spring Arbor (19-8, 8-5) settled into familiar territory at No. 22.
     
With previously ranked No. 1 Oklahoma Wesleyan adding a second loss to its record, Walsh University (Ohio) took over as the top team in the nation. The Cavaliers took 8 of the 16 first place votes and knocked the Eagles out of a position they've held for 12 consecutive polls.
