Bit of an odd week around the conference, as injuries and illness plagued a number of teams. UMass picked up a huge road win at Arizona State on Friday night despite the injuries, as puts the Minutewomen in a fantastic spot to stay on track for an at-large bid. George Mason makes the biggest jump this week, as the Patriots move up to #6, thanks in-part to an impressive victory over ECU, and five consecutive home wins! Another big week lies ahead for the league, with Saint Joseph’s getting their toughest test yet with a road battle with #25 Villanova.
