Wright’s Wonder Rankings
(1)Georgetown (Ky)- Though the Tigers had a near slip-up in their season opener,they remain the team to beat in the MSC. They looked back to normal against WVU Tech on Friday, but as conference play approaches I expect the team to be on their P’s and Q’s when it comes to consistency and showing up to play each game the same.
(15) University of the Cumberlands- The Patriots made these rankings hard on me this week, as the Patriots are the standout team of the week in my opinion, picking up three 20+ point wins. As conference play approaches, the team looks sharp and ready to make a statement in the MSC.
(RV) Thomas More (Ky)- The Saints have an impressive win vs Taylor (Ind), and I look forward to their matchup with Marian (Ind) this week.
Life (Ga)- The Runnin’ Eagles remained unbeaten this past week, and they showed they can win tough games, which is key in the MSC.
Shawnee State- A lot of eyes are on the Bears this week as they have two potentially tough matchups vs Huntington (Ind) and Grace College (Ind) this weekend.
Pikeville (Ky)- The Bears gave a solid performance to get to 1-0 on the season. This is not the Bears first rodeo in the MSC, and I expect them to be ready for their matchup vs Georgetown (Ky) on the 19th.
Freed-Hardeman (Tenn)- The Lions made a statement and left no doubt they were the better team is their season opener win over Blue Mountain (Miss). The team showed a balanced attack on offense and defense, and won big to start the season. I will be Interested to see their matchup vs Florida College on Saturday.
Campbellsville- The Tigers have a big matchup vs IU Southeast on Friday, and I’m interested to see they respond from their loss to Union (Ky).
Lindsey Wilson- I expect the Blue Raiders to handle business this weekend vs Philander SMith (Ark) and WIlliams Baptist (Ark) before opening conference play.
Bethel (Tenn)- The Wildcats have some high expectations as they have some key non-conference matchups leading up to their first taste of MSC play.
Cumberland (Tenn)- A lot of people are looking to see what the Phoenix have in store this season. Saturday’s matchup vs Asbury (Ky) is the lone contest before conference play for the Phoenix.
Martin Methodist (Tenn)- The Redhawks had a solid win over Brescia (Ky) on Saturday. A lot of eyes around the conference will be on them this weekend vs Williams Baptist (Ark) and Philander Smith (Ark).
