Crichton College’s Men’s Basketball team has made history, breaking into the NAIA’s Top 25 Men’s Basketball Poll for the first time ever. The Comets who are competing in their first season in the NAIA have spent the majority of the year receiving votes for the Top 25, but were able to break into the poll on the strength of a three game wining streak including two wins over ranked opponents. Crichton knocked off #7 Trevecca Nazarene University, and #5 Union University in the span of five days on their way to the top spot in the TranSouth Conference. The Comets now sit #13 in the nation and #1 in the TranSouth Athletic Conference with four games remaining on the season. Crichton will play their final regular season home game Thursday night at the Mid-South Coliseum against Conference foe Martin Methodist College. The Comets will then finish up their season with a three game road trip and an opportunity to build on an unprecedented inaugural campaign in the NAIA.
