COLORADO SPRINGS, CO: Week 4 Power Rankings | And Then There Was One
Chaunne Boyd looks for the open man
We're nearing the halfway point of the season as one team remains undefeated and three teams sit at 2-1. Where do these teams rank in this week's Colorado Springs power rankings?
1. The Decision (3-0; last week 2): The defending national champs are the only undefeated team in Colorado Springs, after dominating the Hawks, 86-35. The Decision dominated in every area of the game, having five players score in double figures on offense, and forcing 28 turnovers on defense.
2. Team Colorado (2-1; last week 3): Team Colorado's matchup with The Conglomerate was going to be a test last Thursday; and it's safe to say they passed with flying colors, dominating the defending champs 105-72. Demetrius Nixon and Chris Morgan combined for 50 points in the win.
3. The Conglomerate (2-1; last week 1): The defending champs get knocked down a couple of notches after losing by a wide margin to Team Colorado. If they want to get back to their winning ways, they'll need to cut down on the 23 turnovers they had in week 3. The road doesn't get any easier as they square off with The Decision on Thursday night.
4. Hand Down Man Down (2-1; last week 4): In what was one of the best games in recent Colorado Springs memory, Hand Down Man Down took down the Free Agents in double overtime, 86-83. Brian Smith led the way for Hand Down Man Down, dropping 25 points while Jon Medina recorded a double-double in the victory.
5. Free Agents (0-3; last week 6): The Free Agent squad moves up a spot after losing a double overtime heartbreaker in week 3. It was a step in the right direction as the team looks to breakthrough and get their first victory of the season against the Hawks on Thursday night. Andrew Reed continues to be dominant after scoring 28 points and grabbing 17 rebounds in the double OT loss.
6. Hawks (0-3; last week 5): It was a rough night for the Hawks, losing a lopsided matchup against The Decision. It's tough to win ballgames when you shoot 28% from the floor and turn the ball over 28 times. The Hawks look for their first win of the season agains the Free Agents on Thursday.
