D2CSC Media Poll Dec. 3
 
GOLDEN, Colo. – The Colorado School of Mines men's basketball team was on the move this week in the latest top 25 polls released Tuesday, as they moved up two spots to #13 in the NABC Division II Coaches Poll while moving up one spot to #18 in the latest D2 CSC Media Poll.
 
The Orediggers (4-1) handled business in their lone contest of the week prior to Thanksgiving, dispatching UCCS in non-conference action by a tally of 107-67 as four players scored in double digits while the bench provided 51 points in the winning effort.
 
Nova Southeastern, West Texas A&M and Washburn remained 1-2-3 at the top of the Coaches Poll this week while West Liberty and Dallas Baptist each moved up one spot to round out the top five as Minnesota Duluth slipped up and dropped from fourth to 11th this week.
 
Meanwhile in the media poll, the top four of NSU, WTMAU, WLU and WU remained the same while Ferris State rose three spots to take over fifth.
 
Mines again remained the only RMAC team ranked both in the NABC and D2CSC polls this week as MSU Denver once again earned votes in each.
 
The Orediggers open Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference play this week as they hit the road to take on Adams State on Thursday December 5 and New Mexico Highlands on Saturday November 7.
