00:06Army. Army's basketball program has existed for over a century, yet its lone top 25 appearance

00:12came in 1970 after a 2-0 start. Ranked number 14, the Black Knights dropped out immediately

00:20following a loss to West Virginia, starting a decades-long drought.

00:24Bucknell. After over 100 years on the court, Bucknell finally reached number 24 in February

00:292006 during a 12-game win streak. A quick loss to Northern Iowa ended their brief moment in the

00:35spotlight, knocking the Bison out after just one week.

00:39Cleveland State. Cleveland State's magical 1986 March Madness run to the Sweet 16 earned preseason

00:46hype the following year. Ranked number 20 entering 1986-87, they immediately lost to Memphis and

00:53vanished from the top 25 just as fast as they appeared.

00:56Iona. Before Rick Pitino, Jim Valvano led Iona to national recognition. After back-to-back NCAA

01:04tournament trips, the Gales ended 1980 ranked number 19. Despite a stellar 29-5 record, their

01:10second-round March Madness exit closed their only week in the poll.

01:14Kent State. Kent State's single, top 25 moment came during the 2007-2008 season. Sitting at 23-5 and

01:23ranked number 23, their excitement ended abruptly when Bowling Green handed them a loss, erasing

01:29their brief claim to national recognition.

01:32Lamar. Lamar climbed to number 19 in February 1980 with a dominant 15-2 record and an eight-game

01:38win streak. Unfortunately, Louisiana Tech spoiled the celebration the same day the Cardinals made

01:44the rankings, cutting their top 25 stay to one fleeting week.

01:49Maryland Eastern Shore. The only HBCU ever to crack the top 25, Maryland Eastern Shore,

02:01same day, ending both their perfect record and historic top 25 debut.

02:06Missouri State. Back in the 1952-53 season, Missouri State, then Southwest Missouri State,

02:13finished 24-4 and ranked number 20 in the final top 20 poll. It marked both their greatest season

02:20and their sole appearance in the national rankings.

02:24Northeastern. In 1986, Northeastern shocked number 2 Louisville to open the season.

02:30The upset vaulted them to number 19 in the first poll of 1986-87. But after an early stumble,

02:37their week of fame ended as quickly as it began.

02:39Old Dominion. Old Dominion's 12-1 start in 2014-15 earned them the number 25 spot in January.
