Received a few more votes this week than last. Big East still has 4 teams in, with Providence usurping Seton Hall as the highest ranked BE team.

For those wondering why 5-8 Georgia is right behind UConn at #30.... a voter in Honolulu ranked them 4th on his ballot.

wow lol -- guessing he meant to put "gonzaga" and accidentally went with a different "g" school

Poor Seton Hall. Went from being the highest ranked Big East team last week to being unranked next week.

Oh, it's cockiness. My bad.

 

[ecasadoSBU]

Those poll votes published on Twitter hyped me up. I thought UConn was gonna crack the Top25.

Oh god, PC gets a minor taste of success, in December albeit, and their fans grow like fungus on this board.

It will all change. The Hall was screwed by Covid in a big way. Don’t worry we will see the full squad Saturday and will probably not be 29 next week. Lots of season left will be interesting no doubt.

Our win over Auburn is looking better each day, and our losses to Mich State, PC and WVU are all teams now in the top 30. No “bad losses” in the bunch.

Hard to say that we'll lose to Hall since don't know who or if we'll be missing anyone by Sat....but if Hall back to full strength Sat and we're missing a couple of key players them yes it's likely a loss for good guys.

If we're at full strength after Hall then we should be fine but if it's a week to week for awhile then who the freak knows. Eventually should be good but wish could have won at least 1 of the 3 winnable loses that gave away to have in the resume bank.

PC is a bad loss - no matter how you look at it

then you have blinders on. losing to the (now) #16 team by 4 w/o sanogo is not a bad loss every which way you look at it. we could have played better but that doesnt mean it's a bad loss on paper.

#24 NET and 5-0 vs. Quad 1 is a pretty good team. As painful as it may be to admit it, you have to give them credit.

I watched the game. It was a bad loss.

Anyone calling it a bad loss should explain what he or she means. Reasonable people can argue it's an embarrassing loss, or a tough loss given the way it played out, or any number of other characterizations that one can consider "bad." The argument that the loss will hurt our résumé equally to or worse than an average D1 loss, however, is much harder to defend. In fact, I'd call that argument ludicrous.

I guess we can't all be Chaminade.

I just don't think providence is very good is why I think it is a bad loss....I think their resume is really fluffed up right now. Everything has gone perfect for them so far with COVID/Injuries. They caught the 3 best teams they have played shorthanded and got pummeled by a bad Virginia team.

You don't go 13-1 with just luck. Gotta give it to them. They are rolling right now. Their wins against Wisconsin and Texas Tech looking better too

The real question is whether they will be rolling when its most important - March. Providence needs to deliver for the Big East. Every time they get to the NCAAs they flop after having a great year.

Texas Tech is a solid win at home, but Wisconsin didn't have Johnny Davis when they played who might be the best player in the country.

Don't you think Providence is better than West Virginia, though? And don't you think the WVU loss was a not-bad one?

They likely are, but we also had no business losing to West Virginia even though that was our first road game in two years and we were down Martin and Sanogo.

 

[imno1]

It might not stay this way but Providence deserves to be ranked higher than Villanova at this stage of the season.

I humbly apologize. You were right about Providence.
