In the latest poll, D3hoops.com voters awarded Carthage 92 points, marking them as one of two previously unranked teams to enter the top 25 this week.
Illinois Wesleyan University shares a similar season record of 20-5. The Titans earned 259 points in the poll, securing their spot at number 16 after splitting their league games last week. This included an 87-81 victory against North Park at home.
The top three spots in the rankings remain unchanged with Wesleyan maintaining an unbeaten record of 25-0, followed by NYU at 23-1 and Wisconsin-Platteville at 23-2.
