Fort Hays State Men's Basketball continues to receive votes in the NABC Top 25 Poll. The Tigers received four votes in the latest edition released on Tuesday (Feb. 8), the fourth-highest listed team among those receiving votes outside the Top 25. This is the second-straight week and sixth time overall this season the Tigers have been among the receiving votes list in the NABC Top 25 Poll.

The Central Region remains stacked with five teams inside the Top 25 Poll. Northwest Missouri State is the highest ranked of the bundle at No. 2, followed by Minnesota Duluth at No. 6, Augustana at No. 9, Central Oklahoma at No. 13, and Upper Iowa at No. 19. Fort Hays State and Southeastern Oklahoma State are both among the teams receiving votes.

The Tigers has been in the Top 25 of the D2SIDA Poll a couple of times this season, with No. 22 being their highest mark in that poll so far. But, they have not jumped into the Top 25 yet in the NABC Poll this season.
