2024-25 Rankings

[dk423]

We came in 20! As I said, perception of who we are, who are coach is, and what conference we play in matters just as much if not more than some of the metrics people tend to only focus on.

Happy you were right. #20 is awesome and hopefully helps generate buzz

I'm happy to have been wrong!

Just a great day all around

Nice to be ranked again, this time we're staying and moving down that poll.

Quad 2

Hard to believe that they are only Quad 2. Why it was just last year that the vaunted Selection Committee was in love with the great Mountain West Conference. I mean New Mexico is top of the Standings!

I kid because I think our focus should be on winning games. Win and it takes care of itself. Hard to not get a bid if we win as many games as possible. Trust no one.

“It means a lot,” senior forward Aaron Scott said before the new rankings were released. “If we stay in the rankings the rest of the season, we make the tournament, so that’s our goal: Get in the rankings and stay in the rankings.”

I would rather be moving up

 

[Mullins Revenge]

This is so awesome. I am loving this.

But a loss to Xavier at home and we are right out of the top 25 again.

Need to win both games this week and we will have a permanent spot it the top 25 rest of season barring a collapse.

Need to win both games this week and we will have a permanent spot it the top 25 rest of season barring a collapse.

We only play one game this week.

We only play one game this week.

But it’s a big one.

 

[Silly Donovan]

This is great…… and while a loss to a Xavier team or G Town on the road can toss them out, it’s just great to get the national recognition and can’t hurt recruiting. If RJ leaves, he won’t only need almost an entire new back court but a front court scorer as well.

 

[Silly Donovan]

Better they are ranked ahead of St John’s especially since we play them away at first. Also UConn has more significant wins than the Johnnies.
