SOU Women’s Basketball
Carly Meister
The Raiders are currently tied for fourth place with two games to go. They are just one game out of second place and just one game out of sixth place! The top four team will host the first round of the Cascade Conference Playoffs which begin next week. Tonight they face Warner Pacific at 5:30 in Portland. The playoff picture will clear up after tomorrow night’s games.
SOU Men’s Basketball

SOU’s Men’s Basketball Team has moved up a notch before their last two road games of the year. Currently sitting in 2nd place in the conference, a sweep this weekend will result in two home games for the conference playoffs.

This weekend the U16 Siskiyou Volleyball Club Team (featuring much of next year’s Ashland High School Varsity Team) will be headed north up I-5 to a three-day tournament in Eugene (Springfield actually, CEVA Presidents’ Day Tournament). I’ll be joining them for the first two days.

Saturday night will be a big game for the Lady Raiders as they head to Klamath Falls to face an OIT team with an identical conference record as their own (10-5). The winner will be in second place and the loser will not. Second place means you will host two playoff games (assuming you win the first playoff game). Third and fourth places offer no such guarantee.
SOU Men’s Basketball vs OIT
Jeff Bush (Southern Oregon University’s All-Time Assist Leader)
For the first time in many weeks, the SOU Men’s Basketball Team is moving up, instead of down, in the national rankings. This week they are checking in at #15 before their weekend visit over the Cascade Mountain Range to Klamath Falls to take on Oregon Tech (who they have already defeated twice this season).
SOU Men’s Basketball
Eric Thompson
This was Eric’s fifth time winning the award. His 38 points on Friday were enough to do it as he had a below average (for him) showing on Saturday. The team did win both games though.
SOU Women’s Basketball
Breast Cancer Awareness Night
Last night was Breast Cancer Awareness Night at the SOU basketball games. Both the men’s and women’s teams wore pink socks.
The referees in the women’s game blew pink whistles.

Lynn Kennedy
And Coach Kennedy sported a pink tie.
The results were good. Both SOU teams won, and both moved into second place in the 10-team Cascade Conference.
Tonight is Senior Night so arrive by 7 p.m. (after the women’s game) to see the honoring of the seniors on both teams. Better yet, arrive at 5:30 to watch the women’s game as they face a difficult Evergreen team which beat OIT last night.
Although both teams are currently in position to host at least one home game in the Cascade Conference Playoffs, they are also just a loss or two away from 5th place which would mean tonight will be their last home game(s). So come cheer them on to victory and hopefully some more home games.
Tipoff is 7:30 p.m. in Ashland on 2/7/14.

This year’s tournament to raise money for the football program at SOU will take place on May 3. You can register as an individual or as a team here now. The price goes up in a few weeks so register early for the best rate.
Miles was honored by Southern Oregon University, his alma mater, in 2005 when he was the recipient of the 2005 Distinguished Alumnus Award. Tonight his team defeated Corban for his one-thousandth win.
