Some major movement. Fairmont State jumps from No. 9 to No. 5 ... Ship falls all the way to No. 10. West Chester drops to No. 7


Tonight:

West Chester at Shippensburg ------------> this game just took on an even bigger meaning
Notre Dame at West Liberty

Baring a tourney championship, the winner of WCU v Ship is in and the loser is out.

Incorrect! A Ship loss would be devastating but if WCU loses then things get even tighter bc we'll assume NDC loses tonight against WL.

IUP ladies sure got punished comsidering Va Union has a loss to a sub .500 team.

Using the same logic that seemed to be in vogue when the PSAC faithful used it to justify WCU staying at 5, NDC losing to the #2 team wont result in them falling!!

As a bubble them, WCU on a two game losing streak would be devastating.

None of it matters. The CIAA will have that 8th spot. Wait and see.

Possibly...as would an outlier winning the PSAC and/or MEC tourney.

I could 'possibly' see Concord or Charleston doing it. But ... not good odds.

PSAC ... not so much. There's too big of a dip past the top teams. A one-game upset, maybe. But not multiple. Kutztown or UPJ could win a big game but not a couple in a row.

Depends on who Lutz and UPJ beat. If they take out supposed frontrunners IUP and WCU, PSAC would be wide open.

Thanks to IUPBI for posting this week's regional rankings. I've been asleep most of today as I've battled a cold and have been on meds, so I haven't been online too much today.

Re: 2019 Atlantic Regional Rankings Thread (MBB & WBB)

Three of yesterday's Top 10 (region) go down last night -- Mercyhurst, West Chester and Notre Dame.

Virginia State won its first game in the CIAA.

UMMM, if UPJ beat IUP and WCU that would mean they are in the PSAC championship game. DUH!

Ummm...if Kutz AND UPJ play and beat IUP AND WCU in the first round. DOOHH!
