Cal Poly Pomona men move up to fourth
The Cal Poly Pomona men's basketball team moved up from ninth to fourth in this week's West Region poll released earlier in the week. So the Broncos are sitting pretty with just two weeks to go.
Coach Greg Kamansky said Sunday that he thought his team would be sixth so the jump was a pleasant surprise. It was deserved though. There was no reason for the Broncos to drop from seventh to ninth the previous week when they won both games.
Credit huge wins over Cal State San Bernardino and UC San Diego for the sruge.
The Coyotes dropped out after losing both games to the Broncos and Tritons last week.
Coach Jeff Oliver's team is in danger of missing the tournament for the for the first time since 2006 and just the second time since 1998.
The Coyotes need to do no worse than win four of the last five and probably need to win a couple of games in the conference tournament to move on.
The Cal Poly Pomona women are seventh, one spot behind a Domingues Hills team it beat twice but it lost twice last week as well.
The top eight teams qualify for the west Region tournaments at sites yet to be determined.
