Southeast Texas Mavericks News Release


The 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.

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."
