I hope Steve hasn't beaten me to this. Here are the latest CIAU
Basketball (Men's) rankings as of November 26. Previous ranking is
in parentheses.
1. Victoria ( 1)
2. Waterloo ( 2)
3. Calgary ( 4)
4. St. Francis Xavier ( 5)
5. Manitoba ( 7)
6. York ( 9)
7. Wilfrid Laurier (NR)
8. Saskatchewan ( 8)
9. Dalhousie (NR)
10. Winnipeg (NR)
Conspicuously absent are Acadia (6 last week), which lost to Laurier in
the Naismith; a highly touted Toronto, which has now lost four straight
tournament games; and Western, a CIAU regional wild-card last year based
on their Top Ten ranking and expected to in the same position this year.
The regular season has started in the Atlantic, Quebec and Ontario
East Division leagues. The OUAA West, Great Plains and Canada West
leagues begin their seasons in January.
Interesting note: St. Mary's has resumed play in the AUAA after their
voluntary withdrawal from last season. (They discovered they had an
ineligible player just before the 1984 East Regional `Three' and withdrew
to save the embarrassment of an investigation.)
Apparently many of their players from 83-84 have transferred
elsewhere and are now eligible to play for their new teams, leaving
the Huskies with nothing to rebuild with...
