No love for Belmont in the Coaches Poll and no love for MU in the AP Poll. sportspolls.usatoday.com/ncaa/basketball-women/polls/coaches-poll/

Four games left. WCU, UNCG, UTC, and ETSU. The two easier games are away and the two tougher games are in Macon. Very possible the Bears can finish the regular season undefeated in SoCon play. But on any given night . . .

Three teams ahead of the Bears had losses. Michigan lost both games last week. I predict we move up one or even two and crack the Top 25 for the first time ever. Coaches Poll doesn't come out until tomorrow (Tuesday).

That is outrageous! Someone at MU needs to get to the bottom of that!

ETSU's coach didn't vote for Mercer?

Maybe USA Today did a sloppy job counting or accidentally left MU off.

It doesn't make sense.

Maybe they will catch the error; assuming it is an error.

It seems the correct(ed?) Coaches Poll has 'dropped' - 2017-18 - WBCA USA TODAY Sports NCAA Division I Top 25 Coaches' Poll Feb. 20, 2018 and your Mercer Bears Women's Basketball Team has, in fact, cracked the Top 25!

Not likely the selection committee would leave out a ranked team even if they don't win the conference tournament.
