After a 3-0 week, Massey Ratings has the 24-1 Raiders in the top 4, a position they need to get to in the coaches’ poll in order to receive a #1 seed in the national tournament. The coaches had SOU at #6 last week, and the teams ahead of SOU did not lose so it is doubtful the coaches will change things.
The coaches have College of the Ozarks at #4 while Massey has them at #14. Also, note that Massey is counting SOU’s exhibition loss to San Jose State, an NCAA Division 1 school, as a regular game.

SOU women wrestlers take 11th at nationals
Madelynn McIlwain finished in 8th place
@SOUWrestling @SOURaiders
Southern Oregon had 6 women wrestlers compete in the WCWA Women’s Nationals 2016 this weekend. Other than the Raiders, no team with fewer than 10 wrestlers finished in the top 14. The 10 teams that finished above the Raiders averaged over 18 wrestlers per team! For a first year program, the results really couldn’t have been much more impressive. Details, as of Friday night, can be found here. Saturday’s details can be found here.

Don’t miss Nervosa
@nervosathrash
Time travel does exist. Almost 30 years ago, I saw Sepultura a few days into their first visit to the USA. I haven’t seen another band from Brazil since (except Hibria, but that doesn’t really count as I was in Japan, and I wasn’t going to Loudpark see them).
I was looking forward to Nervosa after listening to their tunes online. However, they far exceeded my expectations. If I dare say, they were better (much more fun anyway) than Sepultura was at The Omni in Oakland in 1989.
May their careers be longer (much longer–Sepultura broke up, for the most part, seven years later) than their Brazilian thrash predecessors.

If you are in California, Texas, Utah, Colorado, or the other places Nervosa will pass through on their current tour, you don’t want to miss this. Next time you will be stuck with thousands.
Regular season home finale weekend
@SOURaiders @souwbb
Saturday night and Sunday afternoon will wrap up the home games for the regular season for the SOU basketball teams. Incredibly, neither team has lost at home (Ashland High School). Their combined home record is 20-0. Not that the games haven’t been close. The women had to come from behind to beat Oregon Tech this past Tuesday. The men have turned nearly every game into a nail biter, and they rarely lead at half time.
The men should earn at least one home game in the Cascade Conference playoffs. They have to play conference-leading Northwest Christian on the road so achieving all home playoff games will take some work.
The women should have all home playoff games before the national tournament, where they will likely be a #2 seed.
