Atlantic Sun Tournament Preview

Season in Review The Atlantic Sun was pretty much a two-horse race all season between Lipscomb, the tournament representative, and newcomer Liberty, who made the move from the Big South.

Perennial power Florida Gulf Coast had a down season, although they ended up in fourth at 9-7 in the conference, but NJIT enjoyed one of the best seasons in school history, winning 20 regular season games for the first time ever.

Top 25 Breakdown 2/11/19

Top 25 Breakdown 2/4/19

The AP Poll has been constantly criticized, and Gary Parrish does a fun series where he exposes some of the crazy inconsistencies from voters. Luckily, you have my rankings to help you out. These are finely curated, with deep consideration for each pick and hours of watching games to figure out which team is better than another. In all seriousness, this is something I enjoy to do and I think they are pretty good rankings.
