UIW CLIMBS BACK UP THE POLL

While its record has not been up and down this year Incarnate Word's standings in the national coach's poll certainly have been as the latest voting has the 13-1 Cardinals moving back up.
 
The poll released today by the National Association of Basketball Coaches has UIW as the ninth ranked team in the nation for Division II. This is the highest Incarnate Word has ever been voted as an NCAA entry, for the second time this season.
 
Two weeks ago the Cardinals climbed to ninth position. They lost one game and slid to 12th. Now, after two more wins, they are back at ninth. One of those two wins which again elevated the Cardinals was over then-19th, now 21st West Texas A&M.
 
This coming week will see UIW host Midwestern State on Saturday. This Mustangs this week received votes in the poll.
