ROSTER

ATLANTA, Georgia -- Climbing higher and higher, Morehouse has moved up the National Association of Basketball Coaches national poll to #10 and up to #11 in the D2SIDA national poll of Top 25 teams.

This was the first time Morehouse has cracked the NABC Top 10 since 1990.

The uptick in the polls includes games through January 21 and does not include last night's thrilling overtime win over Benedict (15-5).

In the D2SIDA regional polls released yesterday, Morehouse moved up from #2 to #1 in the NCAA South Region, as voted on by the sports information directors association.

At 17-0; 12-0, Morehouse sits atop the SIAC East Division, ahead of Clark Atlanta, Claflin and Benedict.

D2SIDA's regional poll has Clark Atlanta tied at #3, Claflin at #7 and Benedict at #10. Clark Atlanta is #22 in the national poll.

NABC's national poll has Claflin at #24. CAU is not ranked.

SCHEDULE NOTE:
The Morehouse at Claflin game, in Orangeburg, SC, which was originally scheduled for Saturday, February 3, has been moved to Wednesday, January 31.
