The DII women’s basketball season is quickly creeping up on the first regional rankings of the season. That means there is a little less than a month to improve those tournament resumes, which makes it all the more impressive that Ashland is still undefeated, the last remaining perfect team in the division.
LOOK BACK: Check out the previous Power 10 rankings
That puts the Eagles in firm control of the No. 1 spot. Now, those first regional rankings will be in alphabetical order, so we won’t know who the top team is just yet. What you will find out shortly is three Power 10 teams are in the same region.
If there were a No. 1 seed in each region for next Wednesday’s regional rankings, I think it would break down as follows.
- Easy picks: Glenville State (Atlantic), Ashland (Midwest), Tampa (South), Western Washington (West).
- Tough picks:
- East: Jefferson. Assumption has a similar record and is nationally ranked (which has no bearing AT ALL in regional rankings). However, Southern New Hampshire beat the Greyhounds and has played a tougher schedule. Jefferson seems to be taking care of business, and although a slightly lower strength of schedule (SOS) than SNHU, I think the Rams get No. 1 for now.
- Central: Minnesota Duluth. This is going to the most minute…
