ANDERSON, S.C. -- The Anderson men's basketball team, off to its
best start in school history, has been rewarded for its hard work
by earning the sixth spot in the opening week of the NCAA Division
II men's basketball regional rankings. The top 10 teams in the
region are listed below and the rankings play an important role at
the conclusion of the regular season, with the top eight teams in
each region earning a trip to the NCAA Tournament. The Southeast
Region is made up of the Conference Carolinas, the Peach Belt and
the South Atlantic Conference. "It's great recognition for all the
hard work, but we have a lot of basketball yet to be played," said
Anderson head coach Jason Taylor. The Trojans (13-3, 7-3 Conference
Carolinas) are currently in a tie for second place in the league
standings with Barton and have won five straight and six of their
last eight. Division II Overall Record Division II In-Region Record
