BASKETBALL NEWS & NOTES--PART 3

Our basketball "previews & reviews" wrap up with this installment on the SIAC.

Women: Going into action Jan. 3, Fort Valley State (4-4), and Kentucky State (3-4) shared the SIAC lead with identical 2-0 records, while Tuskegee (2-4) sits just a half game out of first place at 1-0. Miles (6-2, 3-1) is also in the thick of the regular season title race, while Lane (3-2), Clark Atlanta (4-3), and Albany State (3-5), all have identical 1-1 records in league action.

Men: Defending regular season champion Benedict (5-1) has picked up where it left off last season, going 3-0 in SIAC play early. But the Tigers have plenty of challengers for this season's title, as Tuskegee (1-4, 1-0), Morehouse (5-2, 2-1), Kentucky State (3-3, 2-1), and Miles (5-4, 3-2) all figure to have a say in who comes out on top by season's end. Defending tournament champion Albany State (3-3, 1-1) also figures to be in the mix for the conference's top spot.
