Top Ten
The men’s basketball team vaulted back into top 25 all the way to #10 in this week’s NAIA men's basketball poll. The Mustangs landed this recognition after beating No. 16 Westmont and Point Loma last week keeping the Mustangs in a tie for first place in the Golden State Athletic Conference with Westmont.
The GSAC is the leader of all conferences with four programs in the NAIA Top 25: Master’s, #12 Westmont, Azusa Pacific, and #18 Concordia.
TMC will take on #16 Azusa Pacific tonight in a big road game. APU is in second place in the GSAC just one game behind Master’s. Tip-off will be at 7:30 pm.
