KANSAS CITY, Mo. - The NAIA released its Preseason Basketball Coaches' Top-25 Poll on Wednesday morning. The Carroll College Men's Basketball team checks in at No. 16 on the list.

After finishing last season ranked No. 8 in the final NAIA Poll, the Saints enter 2022-2023 with the No. 16 ranking in the nation.

The ranking marks the ninth-consecutive poll that the Carroll Men have been in the Top-25, the tenth-longest streak in the NAIA. The last time the Saints were unranked was February 22, 2021.

The No. 16 ranking marks the fifth-highest preseason position the Saints have seen since 2000-2001.

The Saints were picked to finish first in the Frontier Conference Coaches' Poll, announced last week. Montana Tech is the only other Frontier Conference school to land on the list, sitting at No. 23.

The Carroll Men will begin their season on Friday, when they host the University of Lethbridge at 5 p.m. on Friday at the PE Center.
