Some No. 1 votes may well change hands after Friday's overtime three-point road loss by No. 1 Wash U at No. 3 Rochester. But No. 4 Hope won’t be picking any up, not after Albion gave the Flying Dutchmen their first MIAA loss, 56-52.

Will No. 3 Rochester reclaim the top spot or will someone else move to the head of the class? No. 2 Amherst will stay in the conversation after beating Bowdoin 85-79. So will No. 5 Mass-Dartmouth, Division III’s only unbeaten, which rolled Southern Maine 88-69.
