Unbeaten Morehouse gets recognized in national poll.

The latest basketball poll issued by the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) now has two HBCUs in the mix. Morehouse College (10-0) slides in at number 25 this week joining Virginia State (11-1) who’s at number 17. Claflin University also received two votes in this week’s poll.

Still perfect
