Marian was just behind the Raiders in the last poll, but they, like the teams ranked #2, #3, and #4, were unable to defend their conference titles in their conference tournaments. Therefore, they won&#8217;t be slipping by the Raiders as Southern Oregon moves up in the rankings. Only SOU and Morningside (of the teams in the top six) were able to win their conference tourneys. The Raiders are the only team with <a href=https:\/\/traveljapanblog.com\/ashland\/2016\/02\/new-basketball-rankings\/>only one loss<\/a>. Morningside is the only team with two losses. According to Massey, Morningside had a more difficult schedule.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/traveljapanblog.com\/ashland\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/15D_3978-RAW-sou-womens-basketball-Alex-Carlson.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-15290\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/traveljapanblog.com\/ashland\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/15D_3978-RAW-sou-womens-basketball-Alex-Carlson-800x518.jpg\" alt=\"sou women&#039;s basketball Alex Carlson\" width=\"800\" height=\"518\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-15290\" srcset=\"https:\/\/traveljapanblog.com\/ashland\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/15D_3978-RAW-sou-womens-basketball-Alex-Carlson-800x518.jpg 800w, https:\/\/traveljapanblog.com\/ashland\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/15D_3978-RAW-sou-womens-basketball-Alex-Carlson-250x162.jpg 250w, https:\/\/traveljapanblog.com\/ashland\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/15D_3978-RAW-sou-womens-basketball-Alex-Carlson-768x497.jpg 768w, https:\/\/traveljapanblog.com\/ashland\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/15D_3978-RAW-sou-womens-basketball-Alex-Carlson.jpg 2007w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The SOU men will also be in the national tourney.
