The UW-Platteville Pioneer men’s basketball team moves up another notch in the latest D3 Hoops dot com poll. The Pioneers improved to 13-0 last week and jumped up to the No. 2 spot in Monday’s Top 25 poll after previously holding the No. 3 position. The Pioneers closed 2021 with two wins to claim the championship of Nicolet Bank St. Norbert Holiday Tournament in dominant fashion and have earned the No. 2 ranking in NCAA Division III — their highest ranking in coach Jeff Gard’s 13 years leading the program. Gard collected his 200th career victory last week. The Pioneers open WIAC Conference action Wednesday at Eau Claire.
(Randolph-Macon is ranked #1)
