From the CCC website:

“Southern Oregon’s David Sturner has been named the Red Lion Men’s Basketball Player of the week.

Sturner, a senior from Philomath, Oregon, had his ninth double-double of the season and sixth in seven games against No. 23 Cal Maritime. Sturner, who hit the go-ahead 3-pointer and scored consecutive buckets to put SOU up 7 with a minute left, now ranks 6th in the NAIA in RPG (10.6) and 16th in FG% (61.0).”

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.

Southern Oregon University Women’s Basketball Team moves up to #17

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.

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.

The #3 ranked Raiders defeated the #13 ranked Cavaliers of Concordia University (Portland) to quickly move to the top of the Cascade Conference standings. The Southern Oregon University Men and Women’s Teams will play again tomorrow night in Ashland (5:30 and 7:30 start times). Hopefully the roads will be a bit safer to drive on by then.

Southern Oregon University Raiders 117 – Concordia Cavaliers 94

Autumn Durand was the top scorer with 25 points.

The reason I’m getting this out there so quickly tonight is I’m not at the game. I thought I was going when the party I was going to got cancelled due to the snow, but then I went outside and realized that my car would never make it through the eight inches of snow in the driveway, let alone down the hill.

You can watch the men’s game here.
