Campbellsville University climbed one spot to No. 7 in this week's NAIA Division I Men's Basketball Coaches Poll, released Monday. The Tigers completed a two-game sweep in Mid-South Conference play last week and gained ground in the poll after previous No. 6 Louisiana State University-Shreveport fell to No. 8.

Biola University also slid in the Top 10 this week, falling from No. 4 to No. 6, while Westminster College moved up three spots from No. 7 to No. 4 and Concordia University (Calif.) traded spots with Oklahoma Baptist University to take over the No. 2 spot.
