I began hinting about it after the blowout victory over previously unbeaten Warner Pacific. The team is probably forbidden from talking or thinking about it at this point in the season. However, Massey not only picks football; they also pick women’s basketball (and a bunch of other things).

Massey says the SOU women’s basketball team isn’t going to lose another game this regular season.

Besides being the only unbeaten team in the conference, the SOU women’s basketball team is also winning their games by incredible margins. They win by an average of 37 points! 16 points was the margin of victory in their closest conference affair. The next four games are on the road, including 5-1 Oregon Tech and 5-1 Eastern Oregon. If they can win those two games then we can start talking about even crazy stuff, like a 27-0 regular season.

Warner Pacific proved that they have teams to be reckoned with via their sweep of Oregon Tech last night in Klamath Falls. Both of the Owls’ teams are tough, especially at home, but WPC earned Ws against them. Tonight it’s the Raiders’ turn. In a very unusual situation, all four teams are undefeated in conference play at 5-0. Only the winners of each game will enter 2016 in first place.

Game times are 5:30 and 7:30 at Ashland High School.

SOU men’s and women’s basketball starts up again tomorrow. They’ve been off for more than a week which is unusual. The games are Wednesday (12/30/15 vs. Multnomah) and Thursday (12/31/15 vs. Warner Pacific) at Ashland High School with the women tipping off at 5:30 each evening followed by the men at about 7:30. The New Year’s Eve games will be a battle for first place in the conference for both the men and the women. Both SOU teams currently sit in a tie for first place with also undefeated Warner Pacific.
