Tiger News
Wed, Mar 5, 2008 - [Men's Basketball]
Campbellsville, Kentucky -  The Campbellsville University Men's Basketball team has taken a giant step back towards a national rating by moving up to 27th in the NAIA Division I Basketball Men's Final Regular Season Ratings.
 
The Tigers received 37 points in the final rating which moved them up to 27th.   At-large bids to the NAIA National Tournament are largely based on the Final National Rating after conference champions and automatic qualifiers are decided upon.   With a national rating of 27th, the Tigers stand a good chance, barring several upsets in conference tournaments around the country,  of being included in the 32-team field for the National Tournament which begins on March 18th in Kansas City, Missouri.
