JACKSON, Tenn. - 2/15/2011 - The Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ (Tenn.) University basketball teams are ranked in the latest NAIA polls released on Monday, February 14. Despite suffering their first loss of the season, Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµâ€™s women remain the No. 1 team in the NAIA for an NAIA record 45 straight polls. The Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ men moved up two spots to No. 14.
The Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ Bulldogs now have 21 wins on the season to just five loss. The Bulldogs are 10-2 in the TranSouth, just one game back of the league leader Martin Methodist (Tenn.).

Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ has won each of the past four TranSouth regular season titles. In the 14-year history of the TranSouth, Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ has won 11 regular season titles and was a co-champion one season.
