What will X be ranked this week?

Postby muskieman » Sun Jan 08, 2023 9:08 pm

No.'s 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 Duke was blown out against N.C. State and 17 have all lost this last week.
I asked a ref if he could give me a technical foul for thinking bad things about him. He said, of course not. I said, well, I think you stink. And he gave me a technical. You can't trust em.

1, 4, 5, 6 also lost. But none of them will be dropping below our rise.

Winning at Nova in most years would be a huge boost. Although they have a lot of talent and winning at any of their places is tough, I do not think the voters will reward us as much for our win as they punish those ahead of us for losing.

I suspect that many voters will still put Duke and IU ahead of us, since they both beat us. The losses by Virginia and Arkansas were quad-1 road losses.

My guess is that we will be 13 or 14 in the AP poll today, 3-4 spots.

Hopefully Marquette and/or Providence break into the top 25. Marquette being 25 this week would make that game this week even more fun to watch!

Important BE week for us with Creighton and Marquette, 17 & 15 Kenpom, respectively. Important home wins for us to pad our record before our tough later season road schedule. Week after it is Depaul and GT…much easier task.

Exciting to expect conference wins again.

The ranking was mostly earned with the win over Ucon but other teams didn't lose last week. A road win over Nova certainly helps but X earned their ranking last week, just needed to wait for some losses.

2 wins this week should get us top 10 depending on other results. Great to have 4 BE teams ranked.
