ABA Mustangs Ranked #2 in the Nation
Comments 0 | Recommend 0The Southeast Texas Mustangs (6-1) are ranked #2 in the Nation in the latest
ABA Power Ranking. The Poll was released on Tuesday afternoon and the
Mustangs only trail the Nashville Broncs (8-1) in the National Power ranking for
the American Basketball Association.
"This is a great honor and we feel fortunate to be ranked so high in this
prestigious poll! We must keep it all in perspective though and understand
that the only poll that really matters is the one that comes out the last week
of March after the ABA Finals when the ABA Champion will be ranked #1!"
states Mustangs General Manager/Head Coach Steve Tucker.
December 23, 2008 - _American Basketball Association (ABA)_
Indianapolis, IN. The ABA Nashville Broncs have held the #1 position in the
ABA Power Rankings despite a loss to the strong Kentucky Bisons this past
week.
According to Pierre Hall, Chairman of the ABA Power Rankings Committee, "For
the first time, the Broncs have been closely challenged by both the
Southeast Texas Mustangs and the Texas Fuel (formerly the South Texas Showboats) for
the number one position. There was only a small margin of difference based on
our ratings formula - and the Maywood Buzz and Cleveland Rockers were very
close behind them. We have some very strong teams and there was a lot of
movement this week."

1. Nashville Broncs
2. Southeast Texas Mustangs
3. Texas Fuel
4. Maywood Buzz
5. Cleveland Rockers
6. Kentucky Bisons
