The San Francisco State University men’s basketball passed a solid conference test over the weekend and are being rewarded in the polls.

The Gators beat Humboldt State, 83-73, on Sunday before heading into the holiday break.

The team is now 11-0 overall and 4-0 in the CCAA and are ranked No. 14 (up two spots) in the DII Media Poll, which is its highest ranking ever.

Only nine times in Division II remain undefeated.

SFSU returns to action Jan. 31 against Chico State.
