Non-MVC Feb. 1-7, 2016
Maine (Cillian O'Reilly) -- 8-16, 6-5 5th America East. A huge week for Maine, who had 3 big games. First, a non-conference game hosting Bryant, which they won 61-46, then 2 conference games, the first at Alabny, which they won 76-54, and to cap off the week, a 74-51 win at UMass Lowell.
Kansas State (Rudy Arellano) -- 18-5, 6-4 T-4th Big 12. The Wildcats had a hard fought non-conference win at Bowling Green 99-93, then beat a ranked Baylor team at home, 79-55.
Hawaii (B.B. Gunn) -- 4-18, 2-7 9th Big West. The struggles continue for a Hawaii team that was picked to be solid this season. The Warriors lost 79-69 at Long Beach State, then lost 84-74 to UC Riverside.
Florida Atlantic (Kuji Chagulia) -- 6-15, 2-6 T-12th Conference USA. The Owls lost 85-68 at Southern Miss, but got a nice win at home against UTSA, 81-73.
Washington (Shannon Elliott) -- 17-5, 7-3 T-2nd Pac 12. A split this week for the Huskies, who had a bad loss 70-58 at an 8 win California team, then recovered to beat UCLA on the road 70-51.

I don't know that I've ever seen a nationally ranked team win both their games in a week, yet fall out of the rankings. Don't quite undertand that. The MVC is getting no respect. Then again, these other teams haven't exactly given the pollsters a reason to give us respect. Another reason there could be some major coaching shake-ups within the next couple seasons.
