Seems like a good time for a basic overview of the local, semi-local and pseudo-local teams that compose the weekly Delmarva/D.C. rankings.
The season is a little more than halfway done, and the rankings are starting to really shuffle in the middle now that league play is well underway.
Teams (out of 29) with winning records: 13
Teams with .500+ records: 17
Teams that would be in the NCAA tournament if it started today:Georgetown, George Mason, American, VMI.
Maybe Morgan State is in that group, too; there’s a cluster of one-loss teams at the top of the MEAC, including Hampton, Bethune-Cookman and Florida A&M in addition to Todd Bozeman’s Bears.
