@AshlandMLKDay

This year’s celebration will take place on Martin Luther King Jr. Day (Monday, January 16). The location will be the same as prior years, the Historic Ashland Armory @ 208 Oak Street. The doors will open at 11:30, but you will need to arrive before then for a decent chance at a seat as the armory always fills up. People are encouraged to bring nonperishable food items to donate to the Ashland Emergency Food Bank. Admission is free.

A live simulcast will take place at the Varisty Theatre on East Main Street for those who can’t get into the armory.

Photos from prior years can be found here.

@SOUAshland

This isn’t what the Southern Oregon University campus looks like today, but it sure feels like this (as it’s been in the 20s all morning).

Autumn Durand and Tiani Bradford are part of SOU’s tough D

@SOURaiders @ADurand25 @souwbb @Tiani_Bradford

New national rankings came out today, and SOU remained at #4. When all is said and done, there is no difference between #1 and #4 as four teams will receive #1 seeds in the national tournament.

Eastern Oregon University is coming to town this Saturday, and they moved up to #17. Massey has EOU at #13.

Next up is Walla Walla on Sunday (1/8/17) in Ashland. Massey gives Walla Walla a 0% chance of winning. After that the Raiders will face their biggest conference challenge of the season, to date, as Eastern Oregon will be in Ashland on 1/14/17. EOU is also undefeated in conference play, but Massey has the Raiders as 7-point favorites with a 72% chance of victory at home.
