South Carolina Game
- Thread starter 88grad
- Start date
There are 25 teams who are ranked, and often times an additional 25 who receive votes. We'll see where the chips fall if we hopefully win 8 in a row to finish the OOC. You went out of your way to challenge a statement that a 10-2 mark warrants a few votes. I don't see the point in doing that but to each their own.
It was me and one other guy in the class. We didn't even know each other but on the first day I shook hands with him and said we had to stick together and buckle up lol. Lots of feminists in the class who went on anti-male rants all class. Some very interesting debates and perspectives, but definitely hard to sit through at times lol.
Sirvoo, I actually agree with you. IF we run the OOC table until Big East play I think we get some top 25 votes. We beat Detroit and Charleston, and a scrappy FGCU team. Those are 3 teams that can easily make the tourney this year. Though they are not major, they are among the better mid majors certainly not cupcakes. I say if we run the table from here we get maybe 5-10 votes. It won't be easy though...someone is bound to come out of nowhere and upset us unfortunately.
I agree that obviously the focus is to win 1 game at a time. At the same time I'm just saying, get passed South Carolina and San Fran and we should run the table. I'm not worried about Fordham who beat us 2 yrs ago or NJIT. The two games with any sort of competitive look to them moving forward are Thursday night and the west coast game.
It may be cosmetic, but it shows people the who's who in the college basketball world, gets your program a ton of recognition helping recruiting and drawing crowds, etc. You can't say you are a real factor unless you are ranked until tournament time where unranked teams can be just as good and even steal a win. You don't get ranked by accident or get left out of rankings by accident.

Rankings in college basketball mean nothing. Its all about who has the highest hype hence why you see the Cuse's Duke's, and what not. As long as we make the tournament who cares if we are ranked. Lavin will bring the good recruits in that we need. The rankings will come. This team will be great throughout the next year or two
St. John's had an opportunity to crack the Top 25 if they had knocked off Murray State or Baylor. They didn't, so they won't be sniffing it for awhile.
We'll have to wait until Big East play (or soon to be formerly Big East play) to prove we belong in the discussion.
I am happy to say that stub hub has 0 tickets left for this game.
This game should really start at 8pm, that extra half hour gives people alot more time to get out of work go home change, eat and be able to make it to the game, it makes a world of difference, I think you would get a bigger crowd if our games during the week started at 8 or 830p.
