The sudden and unexpected turn for the worse took place Tuesday morning with the release of the latest CIAU (Canadian Intercollegiate Athletic Union) national rankings. The chart has UW pegged as the eighthâ€"ranked team in Canada, four notches down from last week‘s No. 4 position. uvfi.i-;vis‘;;tngâ€"t;t;é“n-e;fi to a team hoping for one of two wildâ€"card berths into the eightâ€"team national finals in Halifax, March 10â€"12, particularly when you consider two teams ahead of UW on the national chart are also looking for an invitation. UW coach Don McCrae is obviously upset with the latest rankings but still believes his team is not out of things yet. "We have tried to prepare ourselves for the fact that we will not go, as well as prepare ourselves for the fact that we might be going," said McCrae, whose Warriors are still working out daily and will do so until the invitations are handed out Sunday afternoon. Warriors had an opportunity to forge their own destiny Saturday afternoon at the Physical Activiâ€" ties Complex but dropped a 7459 decision to Western Mustangs in one of the OUAA sectional finals. The six conference winners from across the country will automatically qualify for the national tournament.

But it‘s also we the basketball coaches who haven‘t come to grips with the situation and changed it," he said. Even OUAA director Peter Barnsley was at a loss for words when asked to explain Saskatchewan‘s sudden jump. "It‘s a good question (why Saskatchewan moved up so drastically)," said Barnsley.
