With the Laker Women not having a game this week, the Grand Valley State Men’s Basketball team took the trek to Sioux Falls, South Dakota over the weekend for a pair of non-conference contests against Minnesota State-Mankato and Sioux Falls.
Like the previous weekend, the results remained the same for the Laker Men as they were able to remain unbeaten to start the 2025-26 season.

As a result, one Laker garnered recognition from the GLIAC for his individual efforts, while the team received national recognition in the polls for the first time since the beginning of the 2021-22 season:
