Pre-NCAA Power Rankings

Well, this is a day late because yesterday was no normal Tuesday.  Instead, you guys get the benefit of viewing the power rankings on #HumpDay, which is one of my favorite days. We have a lot of NCAA stuff to get out, so I’ll make this quick – latest results, power rankings, and some short thoughts.

Quick Thoughts

Not too much change this time around, and I essentially ordered my rankings with the following question in mind – Who has the best chance to win the NCAA tournament? I moved Pomona down with the potential news that Yasgoor might be out of the tournament, which is a very sad thing.  I moved Williams up because of their surprising win over Amherst, but I didn’t want to overreact to it.  What y’all think?!  Anyways, off to my real job. ASouth, OUT.
