There are so few games at this point in the season (roughly one per team per week) that I thought I would just review all the games at once, then rank the teams.
December 11:
Southern Arkansas 51, Tulsa 56
December 15:
Delta State 76, Bellarmine 65
December 16:
Southern Arkansas 37, SE Oklahoma State 73
December 17:
UAM 46, Dayton 63
Arkansas Tech 65, SW Oklahoma State 56
Central Arkansas 51, Rollins 62
Christian Brothers 90, West Alabama 71
Henderson State 51, West Georgia 61
Southern Arkansas 75, East Central 81
And here’s what’s on tap for this week:
12/18: UCA vs. Washburn (Las Vegas, NV)
12/19: UAM at Cincinnati, OBU vs. West Va. State (Honolulu, HI)
12/20: ATU vs. Incarnate Word
12/21: OBU vs. Midwestern State (Honolulu, HI)
12/22: UAM vs. LSU (Las Vegas, NV)
I’ve swapped around some teams in this week’s rankings, mainly because I can no longer justify ranking ATU ninth, no matter who they have played. SAU showed up against Tulsa, but not the rest of the week, so they had to fall. Henderson State also has to fall after not backing up their earlier victory against West Georgia with another win. So, here we go:
1. Delta State (7-1)
2. Arkansas-Monticello (4-2)
3. Harding (7-2)
4. Central Arkansas (6-2)
5. Arkansas Tech (7-1)
6. Ouachita Baptist (6-4)
7. Henderson State (2-4)
8. Christian Brothers (5-4)
9. Southern Arkansas (3-7)
