Former WVIAC member Salem-Teikyo (now Salem International) ranked atop the NCAA Division II poll for seven consecutive weeks during the 1999-00 season.<\/p>\n<p>The Hilltoppers have now been ranked in the Top 25 for 22 consecutive weeks, dating back to the 2009-10 season. That\u2019s the longest streak by a WVIAC men\u2019s team since Salem\u2019s NCAA Division II record 76-week Top 25 run from Jan. 21, 1997 to March 11, 2003.<\/p>\n<p>Now the nation\u2019s only unbeaten men\u2019s basketball team at any level, the Hilltoppers (26-0) closed out the regular season in typically impressive fashion on Saturday by breezing to a 101-79 victory at Davis &amp; Elkins.<\/p>\n<p>It was the 24th time the nation\u2019s highest-scoring team had cracked the century mark this year as West Liberty became only the third team in West Virginia Conference history \u2013 and the first in 35 years \u2013 to sail into the WVIAC Tournament with an unblemished record.<\/p>\n<p>There was very little movement at the top of the national rankings this week. The top eight teams are unchanged from a week ago while No. 9 Findlay (Ohio) and No. 10 Central Washington each moved up a spot to replace last week\u2019s No. 9 squad, Arkansas Tech, which slipped to No. 13 after a loss to Ouachita Baptist.<\/p>\n<p>Bellarmine (Ky.) remains No. 2, followed by Humboldt State (Calif.), Alabama-Huntsville, Augusta State (Ga.), Minnesota State, Central Oklahoma and Missouri Southern with Findlay and Central Washington rounding out the top 10.<\/p>\n<p>The No. 1-ranked team in the Atlantic Region, West Liberty is the only WVIAC squad in this week\u2019s poll. No. 16 Bowie State (Md.), the regular-season champion in the CIAA, is the only other Atlantic Region team in the Top 25.  Indiana (Pa.) \u2013 last year\u2019s Atlantic Region champion and national runner-up \u2013 is among the teams also receiving votes.<\/p>\n<p>The Hilltoppers open WVIAC Tournament play Thursday night in Charleston when they meet the winner of Tuesday\u2019s first-round game between Wheeling Jesuit and Shepherd in a tournament quarterfinal. Tipoff is set for 6:30 p.m. at the Civic Center Coliseum.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>NABC Division II Men\u2019s Basketball<\/p>\n<p>Regular Season Poll No. 16<\/p>\n<p>Team\tW-L\tPts\tPvs<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1. \t<strong>WEST LIBERTY<\/strong> (8) \t26-0 \t200 \t1<\/li>\n<li>2. \tBellarmine, Ky. \t25-2 \t191 \t2<\/li>\n<li>3. \tHumboldt State, Calif. \t24-2 \t180 \t3<\/li>\n<li>4. \tAlabama-Huntsville \t25-3 \t177 \t4<\/li>\n<li>5. \tAugusta State, Ga. \t25-3 \t169 \t5<\/li>\n<li>6. \tMinnesota State \t23-3 \t157 \t6<\/li>\n<li>7. \tCentral Oklahoma \t25-3 \t149 \t7<\/li>\n<li>8. \tMissouri Southern \t23-3 \t141 \t8<\/li>\n<li>9. \tFindlay, Ohio \t23-3 \t137 \t10<\/li>\n<li>10. \tCentral Washington \t23-3 \t133 \t11<\/li>\n<li>11. \tSouthern Indiana \t23-4 \t121 \t12<\/li>\n<li>12. \tLincoln Memorial, Tenn. \t24-2 \t106 \t13<\/li>\n<li>13. \tArkansas Tech \t22-4 \t104 \t9<\/li>\n<li>14. \tMary, N.D. \t22-4 \t88 \t19<\/li>\n<li>15. \tTarleton State, Texas \t22-4 \t76 \t20<\/li>\n<li>16. \tBowie State, Md. \t22-4 \t72 \t22<\/li>\n<li>17. \tHarding, Ark. \t22-4 \t68 \t14<\/li>\n<li>18. \tColo.
