Wright’s Wonder Rankings
(1) Georgetown (Ky)- The Tigers remain the team to beat in the MSC. With some time off between now and December 3rd, I’m interested to see what the Tigers will look like after the gap between games.
(15) University of the Cumberlands (Ky)- The Patriots might be the most impressive team so far this season. Four of the teams five wins so far this season have come by 20 points or more. I’m excited to see the team back in action on December 3rd vs Life (Ga).
Shawnee State (Ohio)- The Bears won a tough game vs Grace College (Ind) on Friday 99-94. The Bears showed they can win tough games on the road. Keep a close eye on their two matchups this week with Life (Ga) and Martin Methodist (Tenn).
(RV) Thomas More (Ky)- The Saints have been off for a while, but their lone win vs Taylor (Ind) is a high quality win. I’ll be watching the team closely this week vs Martin Methodist (Tenn) and Life (Ga) to see how they look and respond after their long break from play.
Freed-Hardeman (Tenn)- The Lions are turning some heads in the MSC after three big victories to start the season. The team makes their MSC debut this weekend vs Lindsey Wilson (Ky) and Cumberland (Tenn) and a lot of eyes will be on the team this week around the country.
Pikeville (Ky)- The Bears are facing a lengthy gap between games, but a test against IU East on the 28th will show if the Bears can come in to play back to normal.
Martin Methodist (Tenn)- The Redhawks had two impressive wins this week by 15+, and left no doubt they were the best team in those matchups. The team makes their MSC debut this week vs Thomas More (Ky) and Shawnee State (ohio)
Life (Ga)- The Runnin’ Eagles looked good vs Carver College last week, and face two matchups this week vs Shawnee State (ohio) and Thomas More (Ky)
Campbellsville (Ky)- The Tigers are facing a gap between games, I’m interested to see the team on December 3rd vs Bethel (Tenn)
Bethel (Tenn)- A lot of questions will be answered about this Wildcats team will be answered this week with matchups with Brescia (Ky), Cumberland (Tenn) and Lindsey Wilson (Ky). I’m excited to see the team in action.
Lindsey Wilson (Ky)- The Blue Raiders had a tough season opener in a loss to Philander Smith (Ky), but a nice bounce back win vs Williams Baptist (Ark). The team faces two tough matchups this week vs Freed-Hardeman (Tenn) and Bethel (Tenn).
Cumberland- After dropping their season opener, the Phoenix have a lot to prove this week vs Bethel (Tenn) and Freed-Hardeman (Tenn).
