OTTAWA (CIS) 鈥� With playoffs looming in CIS men鈥檚 basketball, the Carleton University Ravens are back in a familiar position... atop the national rankings.
In other CIS sports, McGill (women鈥檚 basketball), Guelph (women鈥檚 hockey), UNB (men鈥檚 hockey), Toronto (women鈥檚 & men鈥檚 swimming / women鈥檚 track and field), Windsor (men鈥檚 track and field), UBC Okanagan (women鈥檚 volleyball), Alberta (men鈥檚 volleyball) and Brock (women鈥檚 & men鈥檚 wrestling) all hold on to their pole position.
In men鈥檚 hoops, the reigning five-time CIS champion Ravens (14-3) received 22 first-place votes and 413 points in the 12th coaches鈥� poll of the campaign to move past the Ryerson Rams (15-2), who drop to No. 3 this week after earning 13 first-place nods and 394 points. Like Carleton, the No. 2 Ottawa Gee-Gees (15-2) are up one spot in the new poll thanks to 10 first-place votes and 403 points.
The Ravens merit No. 1 status for only the second time this season, matching their ranking from the January 12 poll. Ryerson had topped each of the past four national rankings.
Carleton and Ottawa both added two wins to their records over the past week, easily defeating visiting Waterloo and Wilfrid Laurier. Meanwhile, Ryerson was upset 96-92 by Guelph (9-8) last Wednesday before rebounding on Saturday with a 78-65 defeat of Lakehead.
All three powerhouses have two games remaining as OUA conference play comes to an end this weekend.
NOTES: The CIS winter championship season gets under way this week with swimming at Laval University in Quebec City (Feb. 26-28) and wrestling at Brock University in St. Catharines, Ont. (Feb. 26-27)... Following a one-week break, the action resumes with track and field (March 10-12 at York University), men鈥檚 volleyball (March 10-12 at McMaster University) and women鈥檚 volleyball (March 11-13 at Brandon University)... Women鈥檚 basketball at the University of New Brunswick, men鈥檚 basketball at the University of British Columbia, women鈥檚 hockey at the University of Calgary and men鈥檚 hockey in Halifax (hosted by Saint Mary鈥檚 University) follow from March 17-20, all part of Sportsnet U Championship Weekend...
