… Ashland was a warm, green, and sunny place where you could pass the time hitting golf balls off a friend’s deck. Currently we are mired in more than a week of continuous freezing temperatures.

SOU’s three-win week last week moved them up a notch in the rankings to #2 in the nation. Two other CCC teams (Northwest and College of Idaho) are now in the Top 26. SOU plays College of Idaho (Caldwell) on the road on 12/21/13.

SOU’s 11-1 start has not gone unnoticed by the NAIA Division II Women’s Basketball Coaches’ Top 25 Poll as the Lady Raiders moved up two spots. Two other CCC opponents are in the Top 25. SOU plays Oregon Tech (#14) on 1/18/14 and Eastern Oregon (#24) on 1/25/14.

Finals week begins at SOU …

… or at least final exams are supposed to begin this morning at 10:30 a.m. Because half a foot of snow was dumped on campus on Friday evening, and temperatures have been between 3 and 25 degrees since, I’m not sure if everyone can make it to campus. Southern Oregon University has postponed today’s 8:00 a.m. finals, but the rest are still on.

The Southern Oregon University Basketball Teams went 4-0 this weekend in Ashland. As mentioned previously, the challenges will come to the women in a little over a month. But what about the men?

Concordia was ranked in the Top 15, but the Raiders (ranked #3) beat them fairly easily. Warner Pacific was the pre-season pick to come in second (behind the Raiders) in the Cascade Conference, and that victory for SOU was even easier. Could the Raiders actually be 28-1 by the time they play Concordia on the road in late February? Perhaps it is way too early to make such a prediction, but a 28-1 record by 2/22/14 seems very possible at this point if Concordia and Warner Pacific are really the best two teams besides the Raiders in the CCC.
