San Francisco State University’s men’s basketball team can’t stop climbing the polls.

Bolstered by a 11-0 start, the Gators moved up in the national polls. SFSU climbed from No. 21 to No. 15 in the fifth Division II Men’s Basketball rankings of the season.

Only nine D-II teams remain undefeated at this point of the season.

The team embarks on a three-game road trip that begins on Saturday against Chico State, which received votes but was not ranked in the latest poll.
