Coyotes drop in national poll

The Cal State San Bernardino men's basketball team paid the price for road losses last week at Cal Poly Pomona and UC San Diego, dropping from fifth to 18th in the NABC national poll released Tuesday.

The Coyotes are one spot behind defending conference champion Humboldt State, whom they will host Saturday in a 7:30 p.m. contest at Coussoulis Arena.

The top three places in the poll remained unchanged.
