Horizon League Women’s Basketball Power Rankings – Week 9
It happened! Somebody other than IUPUI took over at the top of the Power Rankings!
...because IUPUI was forced into a COVID-19 stoppa-
...wait, what? Milwaukee took over the top spot because they swept IUPUI?
Well, that's enough to say that this weekend broke what has otherwise been a very straightforward Horizon League Women's Basketball season. But that was far from the craziest result of the weekend. The Jaguars may have been the unanimous favorite to win the league in the Preseason Poll, but the Panthers entered the weekend 10-0 in Horizon League play. After the top five teams in the league had dominated all season, the bottom half of the league came through strong with three massive upsets.
Horizon League Power Rankings – Week 9
So...most of the league is a mess and I'm going to run out of goofy ways to rank everyone between 3 and 11 if I use them all up this early. I guess I'll just try to rank a bunch of wildly inconsistent teams using...logic and reasoning. Lame.
This week, Milwaukee finally proving that teams could punch up at Cleveland state was the biggest story. If the Panthers can pull it off without Tafari Simms – who came out of nowhere to become one of the league's more potent offensive threats – the Vikings perceived easier path to a Horizon League Title might not prove so easy.
This weekend, all 12 teams in the Horizon League were in action so nobody will be left out of the rankings.
