I know many of us Beach fans who follow women's basketball lament over how horrible the conference is. Sites that track their versions of the infamous RPI have had the conference rated towards the bottom of D-1. However, looking at the Sagarin ratings pages today, I noticed the women's Big West, at #17, is actually rated HIGHER than the men's conference, which is currently 18th. Wynn's Wonders are rated #174, 4th best in the Big West, while Monson's Minions currently rank #144, and #2 in the conference behind Pacific. It's hardly anything to get too excited over, but just maybe, there's a hint of improvement after all in Big West women's hoops. Our ladies will try to keep moving up the Big West ladder tomorrow at the Pyramid against Northridge, rated # 296 in D-1 according to Sagarin, and at the bottom of the conference. Tip-off is at 7pm.
BTW, props to MVB Opposite Hitter Dean Bittner for being named AVCA National Player of the Week, for last week's dominating 20-24 hitting performance in the Niners' sweep at Pepperdine. They return home Friday to face improved UCSD at 7pm.
