Tigers Move up to No. 13 in latest NAIA Top 25 Coaches Poll
GEORGETOWN, Ky. – The Georgetown College men's basketball team moved up to No. 13 in the second 2025 NAIA Top 25 Coaches' Poll released on Wednesday.
The Tigers (8-2) are winners of seven in a row, having dropped just one single game all of November.
Led by Mid-South Conference Player of the Week, Isaiah Mason, Georgetown knocked off No. 14 LSU-Alexandria and Florida College this past week.
The senior had 20 points and a team-best 11 rebounds in the win over No. 14 LSU-Alexandria, including 12 points in the second half and OT period.
Mason finished off his double-double week with an 11-point and 10-rebound effort against Florida College.
For the third time this season, there is a new No. 1 in the NAIA Men's Basketball landscape, and the Lancers of Grace (Ind.) are back at the top for the first time since the 2023-24 season. In the final poll on Feb. 28, 2024, the Lancers were voted No. 1 with 17 first-place votes. This time, all top three teams shared a piece of first-place votes with GC earning eight, Arizona Christian garnering nine, and Freed-Hardeman (Tenn.) earning one.
Everyone was on the move in the second coaches' poll; only two teams held steady in ACU and Ave Maria (Fla.). Three new teams climbed into the top 25 this week, with Bethel (Kan.) at No. 17, Concordia (Neb.) in at No. 24, and for the first time ever, Georgia Gwinnett cracks the Top 25 at No. 25.
The third coaches' top 25 poll of the season will be released on Wednesday, December 17.
