San Francisco State’s men’s basketball team has been rewarded for its 10-0 start to the season by climbing a pair of national polls.

The Gators are now the No. 21 team in the National Association of Basketball Coaches rankings and No. 16 in the DII Media Poll, the team’s highest finish ever.

SFSU has a conference game against Humboldt State up next. They’ll play Sunday at The Swamp at Don Nasser Family Plaza.
