One on the court, one in MR’s head. Hope we win both.
2024-25 Rankings

We're gonna send 'em back to Cincinnati starvin' like Marvin.
Xavier is still a big game. Really want that sweep.
With this week, we've now been ranked three times this year.
The 2014-2015 team was ranked for five weeks between December 8 through January 5th.
The 2010-2011 team was ranked for the final three weeks of the season.
The 2000-2001 team was ranked for the first four weeks of the season.
The 1999-2000 team was ranked for five weeks in the season, in the beginning and to conclude the season.
The 1998-1999 team was ranked for all but the first week of the season.
Four of the five teams made the tournament. Question for the season will be -- who will this team most closely resemble? The Elite 8 one, the sub-500 one (even this board's most pessimistic would say no to that) or the one-and-dones?

Its hard to get a Quad 1 game at home. You have to be in the NET top 30. New Mexico is 59. They have some really good wins but a couple of bad losses too. ( 1-1 Q1; 6-2 Q2; 2-2 Q3)
Right now, even UConn (NET 32) is a Q2 game at home.
A reminder of the quadrants:
Q1 (H: 1-30) (N: 1-50) (A: 1-75)
Q2 (H: 31-75) (N: 51-100) (A: 76-135)
Q3 (H: 76-160) (N: 101-200) (A: 136-240)
Q4 (H: 161-364) (N: 201-364) (A: 241-364)
Our record is: 1-3 Q1; 3-0 Q2; 7-0 Q3; 5-0 Q4
I surmise you meant "moving up the poll." Nevertheless, I feel we're gonna remain throughout the duration of the season.
Good call.
It's crazy that the 1999-2000 team...Big East Champs, won @ Duke, swept UConn in 3 games, 25-8 overall record, 12-4 conference record and a number 2 seed in the tournament was only ranked for 5 weeks.
Technically we have 2 Quad 1 wins. Providence was Q1 at the time we beat them on the road. A flaw in the NET process to eliminate that from the equation. When a team beats the #1 team in the country, that remains regardless if said top team drops in the rankings. Just me venting about the NET.
And in the top 20 four of the five times.
Nostradamus UConn whiplash
Losing the season opener to Samford in Albuquerque did not help matters
True, but then we bounced back and won a road game against New Mexico...which certainly would have been at least a Q2 win if they had this system back then.
The team is already slacking.
And sadly not playing this weekend will cost us spots in the NET. Another reason not to get too hung up on the NET on a daily basis.
But a little more time for Smith to fully heal.
Last week 23/62 AP voters ranked us.
This week 57/62 AP voters ranked us.
That's why we moved up so much, more than double voted for us even though we didn't beat a great team this week. I know the AP voters get a lot of hate, sometimes deserved, but credit to them this week since they absolutely took notice that we're now in first place. Sky is the limit with Pitino as coach.

Seth Davis did not even vote us in the top 25. What a clown.
He’s too busy rewatching It’s A Wonderful Life for the millionth time than Big East basketball.
