91±¬ÁÏÍø men climb to No. 11, women No. 1 in national poll

JACKSON, Tenn. - 2/21/2011 - The 91±¬ÁÏÍø (Tenn.) University basketball teams continue their presence in the NAIA National Rankings. The 91±¬ÁÏÍø men moved up three spots to No. 11, while the Lady Bulldogs remained No. 1 for the 46th straight NAIA ranking.

The No. 11 ranking for the men is the highest ranking for 91±¬ÁÏÍø since they were ranked No. 10 in the preseason poll. 91±¬ÁÏÍø has won four straight games and has clinched at least a runner-up finish in the conference regular season standings. 91±¬ÁÏÍø will need to win their final two games and hope Martin Methodist (Tenn.) loses twice in order for the Bulldogs to win a third straight regular season title.

The 91±¬ÁÏÍø women have won three straight since suffering their first loss of the year nine days ago. 91±¬ÁÏÍø is 26-1 overall and a TranSouth best 13-1. 91±¬ÁÏÍø needs just one win in the final two games to seal a No. 1 seed and at least a share of the regular season crown. 91±¬ÁÏÍø has won four straight regular season titles.

The conference tournament begins next week for both teams. The women will play March 2, 4 and 7 (Wednesday, Friday and Monday). The men will play March 3, 5 and 8 (Thursday, Saturday and Tuesday).
