Wright State's stranglehold on first place in the power rankings increased when Cleveland State lost on ESPNU on Friday. With the WSU sweep and Cleveland State's split with previously third place Detroit Mercy, there was no movement at the top of the power rankings. But after the top four things got crazy thanks to some teams previously near the bottom of the rankings pulling off sweeps while the middle continued to struggle.

Wright State's sweep of Milwaukee combined with Cleveland State's nationally televised Friday night loss to Detroit Mercy has resulted in a tie at the top of the Horizon League standings. Detroit Mercy's win plus a loss by Northern Kentucky resulted in last week's observation that the Norse might be emerging as a solid third place team proving premature. NKU wasn't even in third place in the league's official standings, then lost to previously seventh place Green Bay.

After a two week break, the Horizon League is back on national TV on a Friday night, and as a result we're back with the #HLMBB Weekend Tip(sy)-off. Last time we were in action, Robert Morris held its own in a nine point loss to Wright State despite star A.J. Bramah being out of the action. This week, the national audience gets its first look at Antoine Davis and Detroit Mercy in Horizon League play, both of whom have been surging since the end of a COVID-19 related pause. For the last time this regular season, let’s jump into the game!

The time has come, Norse fans! You're back in the women's basketball power rankings and...probably wishing you could've been back in last week instead. While NKU technically wasn't eligible for the rankings last week due to playing less than half of league games, the Norse would've had an incredible argument for first place. That went away quickly with another high-profile matchup. If the fact that there's a number in every box of that last column on the chart didn't give it away, I'll go ahead and say it: this week in women's basketball sent the power rankings into more chaos than the previous 10 weeks combined. Much of that was artificial due to NKU's return, but a lot was because we've started to get the high-profile matchups after weeks of top teams stacking up wins against the middle and bottom of the league. With NKU back in the rankings, every team that's still playing is ranked this week.
