Conference Tournament Action for Division II Begins; Regular Season Ending for Division I; One Undefeated Team Remains
Teams jockey for postseason seeding and, ultimately a bid to the 2008 NAIA National Championship as the season winds down for Division II Men's Basketball. Conference tournaments began on Feb. 19 and will run through March 4 for Division II.

In Division I, there is a new No. 1, Georgetown (Ky.), who happens to sport the only undefeated record in all of NAIA basketball. The Tigers are 26-0 (as of Feb. 21) and face a tough road going to Pikeville (Ky.), who is receiving votes in the latest poll, before hosting #18 Cumberlands (Ky.) on Saturday. The rest of the Division I world wind down their regular season and look forward to conference championship action, to start March 1.

In the next week (Feb. 21-27), there are nine games scheduled with both teams ranked in the current NAIA Coaches' Poll.
