Ashland saw its remarkable 45-game winning streak come to an end this past weekend. While it doesn’t mean the Eagles are any less a threat to winning yet another national championship, it does mean there is a new No. 1 in DII women’s basketball.
UPSET CITY: No. 10 Ferris State comes from behind to upend No. 1 Ashland
This week was very tough. The field is deep this year, and let me tell you, the Midwest Region appears to be an absolute nightmare. Three of the top five teams hail from that part of the bracket, and I expect all three to hang around the Power 10 for some time.
Remember, these are my rankings, and I try to capture an overall picture of DII women’s basketball. That means combining selection committee metrics with the simple eye test, while looking at what lies ahead in the new year to see if teams can maintain their current hot-streak status. As with the DII men’s basketball Power 10 rankings, this season I will be using stats from InkblotSports. You can see those metrics — which include RPI and PI amongst other selection metrics — here or join the Inkblot Sports Patreon here.
