DMV WARRIORS STILL ATOP ABA POWER RANKINGS
Indianapolis, IN. The American Basketball Association (ABA) today released its Power Rankings thru Sunday, February 26th and the undefeated DMV Warriors held onto the number one spot closely followed by the Austin Bats and defending ABA Champion Jacksonville Giants by a close margin. "With just one week to go in the regular season prior to the start of the ABA playoffs, the difference between the top teams is very slight," said ABA co-founder Joe Newman. "It will be tough to dislodge the DMV Warriors unless there's a major upset, and that'a important because the #1 team in the final rankings gets a bye to the Final Eight in Baltimore." It took 13 games to qualify for the Power Rankings.
