MSU Denver’s undefeated men's basketball team is ranked No. 2 in the latest National Association of Basketball Coaches NCAA Division II top-25 poll.
The Roadrunners’ latest win came last Saturday, Jan. 12, with a 77-61 victory over the Orediggers of the Colorado School of Mines. The team improved to 13-0 overall and 9-0 in Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference.
The Roadrunners, who are atop the RMAC standings, face Adams State (No. 18 in Division II and second in conference standings) on Friday, Jan. 18, and Fort Lewis College (No. 25 in Division II and third in conference standings) on Saturday. Both games will be at 7 p.m. in the Auraria Event Center.
The women Roadrunners, 9-5 overall and 7-2 in the RMAC, host Adams State on Friday and Fort Lewis on Saturday. Both games are at 5 p.m. in the Auraria Event Center.
Saturday’s game is the annual “Play for Kay” fundraiser. Donations will be taken before and during the game and all the money will be given directly to the Kay Yow Cancer Fund to help with cancer research.
Yow was a former North Carolina State University head women’s basketball coach and a past president and founding member of the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association. After being diagnosed with breast cancer in 1987 she died on Jan. 24, 2009 after three separate fights with the disease. Since its inception in 2007 the Kay Yow Cancer Fund had raised more than $7 million.
