The nationally-ranked Ferris State University men's and women's basketball squads will look to keep the momentum going this week as the Bulldogs hit the road for a pair of Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) doubleheaders.
Both squads are currently ranked high in the national polls following a home sweep over rival Grand Valley State on Saturday with the women vaulting to seventh in the WBCA Division II Top 25 Rankings and the men moving up a notch to 13th in the NABC D2 poll.
This week, the two squads will head to Detroit on Thursday (Jan. 25) for a league twin bill against Wayne State in the Motor City. The women's contest will tip at 5:30 p.m. (ET) inside the Wayne State Fieldhouse with the men's game slated for a 7:30 p.m. (ET) start.
Following Thursday's contests, the two teams then take on Saginaw Valley State on Saturday (Jan. 27) in University Center starting at 1 p.m. (ET) for the women and 3 p.m. (ET) for the men.
All of this week's action will be carried live on local flagship station Sunny 97.3 FM and the Bulldog Sports Network with online coverage available at FerrisStateBulldogs.com. Pregame coverage begins a half-hour prior to the women's game each day.
In addition, a live pay-per-view video stream will also be available for all four games on FloSports. All applicable coverage links, including live internet statistics, can be found at FerrisStateBulldgos.com on the respective team schedule pages.
Following this week's trip, both teams return home for a pair of conference doubleheaders next week back at Jim Wink Arena versus Northern Michigan (Feb. 1) and Michigan Tech (Feb. 3).
Presently, both teams are near the top of the league standings as the FSU women are tied for first with a 6-1 league mark and the men are in second place with a 5-2 conference slate. The women hold a 12-2 overall record to date and the men are currently 15-3 on the year.
Ferris State is currently one of only two schools in the country to have a team listed among the top 13 in both the men's and women's national polls announced by the respective coaches' organizations this week along with Gannon (Pa.).
The Bulldog women are coming off a thrilling 71-65 win over then top-ranked Grand Valley State this past Saturday in Big Rapids, which marked the team's second win over a number one ranked team in the country this year as FSU also defeated Ashland when the Eagles were listed first back in December. The men also beat the Lakers by an 86-73 count to complete the home sweep.
