With three weeks to play in the 2011-12 regular season, there were no changes at the top of the PAC men's and women's basketball standings following a full slate of conference contests on January 28. In men's action, Thiel has little trouble keeping its perfect league record intact, as the Tomcats rolled to a 98-61 home win over Westminster. Second-place Bethany had the weekend off, but third-place Thomas More and fourth-place Saint Vincent each kept pace with road victories, as the Saints outlasted Washington & Jefferson 84-74, while the Bearcats closed the game with a 19-7 run to edge Grove City 62-57. Finally, Geneva was a 70-58 winner at Waynesburg. On the women's side, Thomas More and Saint Vincent remain tied for first, as the Saints defeated W&J 83-64 while the Bearcats were victorious at Grove City, 81-52. Third-place Waynesburg bounced back from a pair of recent setbacks by winning handily at home, 78-42, over Geneva. Bethany held off an upset-minded Chatham squad, as the Bison overcame a halftime deficit to edge the Cougars 77-67. Finally, Westminster trailed by two with 1:18 to play, but closed the game on an 8-0 run to win 61-55 at Thiel. Conference statistics for men's basketball and women's basketball through games of January 28 are now online.
