News On The Horizon 1/21/2012

The Other 26: Week Eight--Rush The Court

Four Team Scrambles
...
Horizon — Wisconsin-Milwaukee sits atop the standings for the moment with a 6-1 record. Their only loss is at Butler (5-3), whom, despite its three league losses, I consider to be a genuine threat for the regular season championship. After the last two years, is anyone prepared to count them out? In between UWM and Butler are Cleveland State (5-2), which entered league play as the favorite, but took a bad loss to Youngstown State at home, and Valparaiso (6-2), which dealt Cleveland State its second loss last weekend. After losing three key starters, the Crusaders were not expected (by this writer anyway) to compete for the league crown, but here they are without a single senior in the rotation.

Looking Forward: Tough Week Ahead

Three conference leaders will be put to the test with back-to-back games against their leading competitors:

Wisconsin-Milwaukee at Cleveland State (1/22) / Butler at Wisconsin-Milwaukee (1/26) — UWM relies on the three-point shot, but they don’t afford opponents the same luxury, as they have the best 3-pt defense in the country.

Set Your TiVo: 01.20 – 01.22--Rush The Court

A bunch of other games you should keep your eye on:
...
Milwaukee @ Cleveland State (2 PM Sunday, local TV) – The Vikings can force a first place tie atop the Horizon with a home win over the Panthers. These are by far the two best teams in the league according to the Pomeroy ratings and this game could go a long way in determining who gets home court for the conference tournament.
