Down Goes 1 & 2

It's no shame to lose in the last minute at Iowa State. They're #17 in Kenpom, right behind Kansas.

I think we stay #4 in the polls until Donovan is fully back.

Don't underestimate the polling power of Duke. They have Cooper Flagg playing for them next year.

Duke had to play a road game in some place called Pittsburgh and they’re not supposed to have to play road games. The ACC is mean. 50 first place votes and an automatic bye to the Sweet 16 is only fair.

Oh man. What a night! 1 and 2 both go down to unranked teams!

If we handle our business this week, #2 is in our future.

Knowing the voters, Houston will collapse to like #9 but Purdue will be like #4-5.

Possible. I think Purdue drops to #3. Maybe #4. Purdue held the #1 post before. Got sent back down, then climbed to #1 again. Now back down. Curious to see the rankings come Monday. /we win and we are up there.

It cracks me up when people say to stop speculating and just focus on the next game. How many of us are coaching or playing in it? We are fans on a message board, not players in the locker room talking about our ranking next week.

Houston is really going to get a dose of reality playing in a real conference. This is the first of several losses.

Houston has a great coach and great program. They have been deep in the tourney and to the Final Four very recently. Of course they will fall after a loss, but that takes nothing away form the program which is pretty darn good.

No truer words have been spoken. For me, I can’t wait to see a number 1 in front of our name next week.
 
I think Purdue has to drop to at least 3, and Houston has to drop to 3 or 4.

It’s not like this is Purdue’s first loss to a middling-or-worse team. We have probably the “best” loss in the country, and one loss to a solid Seton Hall on the road. They’ve lose to not only Nebraska but Northwestern.
 
Yes. If we play solid we can hope KU gets taken down by Oklahoma on Saturday. Then there’s no way the writers let us slide like last year. We get #1. The target in hs just gets bigger as we head into the meat of conference play these next weeks. But so long as Kansas stays at 1 loss. They will be the top team with having beaten us as well.
