ASHLAND, Va. – For the eighth consecutive season, Randolph-Macon Men's Basketball has been ranked in the D3hoops.com Preseason Top-25 Poll. After a 27-4 campaign in 2025-26, the Yellow Jackets slot in at number seven in the poll, marking the sixth time in the last seven years that RMC has been placed in the preseason top-10.
