West Liberty, W.Va. – The West Liberty University men's basketball team has risen one spot to No. 4 in this week's National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) Top 25 poll. The Hilltoppers cracked the top five at No. 5 last week.
West Liberty secured its position with a strong showing in its lone game last week, defeating Salem 101-87 in their first road matchup of the season. The Hilltoppers' high-scoring offense continues to drive their success early in the season.
After a brief holiday break, the Hilltoppers are gearing up for two games this week. They'll travel to face West Virginia Wesleyan on Wednesday before returning home to the ASRC on Saturday to host Davis & Elkins.
The current top five teams in the NABC poll are:
-
Nova Southeastern

Dallas Baptist
The Mountain East Conference boasts another ranked team, as Fairmont State climbed to No. 12, up from No. 20 in last week's rankings.
