Fortunately, their performance doesn’t alter the landscape of the Delmarva/D.C. rankings I cobbled together earlier today.
Of the 29 teams in the region, only three (Liberty, Longwood and Navy) have had to turn in their uniforms. Well, assuming they don’t get invited to a lower-tier postseason tournament, which could happen (especially in the case of Liberty).
Here’s the full rundown, with records through last night:
1. Maryland (18-11)
2. VCU (21-9)
3. American (22-7)
4. George Mason (20-9)
