Look who’s moving up!

We have a gift in the schedule of our next few games. Take care of business and beat Marquette tomorrow and I like our chances to go 3-0 before facing Nova on 1/15. We SHOULD be 7-1 and ranked in the polls by our showdown with the top team in the BE. A ranked match up with UConn/Nova would be awesome for the conference.

I don’t get why cbs, Jeff Goodman on his top 25, espn, and AP coaches poll don’t have Seton Hall in the rankings. They’re 5-1 in big east with good road wins at Marquette and Xavier, and they haven’t even received votes.

Hall has its biggest stretch coming up. 8 of their next 10 are: nova 2x, creighton 2x, UConn, PC, marquette, and xavier. as tough as the BE gets. i put the over/under at 3.5 wins from those 8. swept by Nova, L to UConn, and hopefuly swept by Creighton so our L looks better. that would put them at 3-5 at best.

I love the energy but we’re 1.5 point dogs rn, we have for the last 3 years been atrocious on the road especially to open conference play(and don’t say it’s different with no fans, we played in the American). Not trying to be a Debby downer but like Hurley said, there are no free wins in the Big East. Butler might get Aaron Thompson back for our matchup with them so that makes things a little more difficult. I’ll give em the DePaul win, but even that, polls would’ve been made the day of the DePaul game so we would be 6-1 and likely just on the outside or merely in the rankings. While I think we past the eye test of a top25 team, winning those 2 conference road games would seem to warrant top 25 status but with only 4 votes today, we’ll see.
 
Holding steady at 26.

The win means UConn is now 5-1 overall and 2-1 in the Big East heading into Saturday's game at Butler. It also suggests one of the biggest brands in the sport, a program that's won three of the past 16 NCAA Tournaments, is good enough in Hurley's third season to return to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2016. This has been the Huskies' longest NCAA Tournament drought since the 1980s.

Really would prefer being the 10 seed in region 2 👀

Mick can’t win in match, Illinois ehhh pretty overrated IMO. Still a solid team. Youstin, no Caleb Mills and we beat em last year. Or SDSU, how tf are they higher than us?
 
What are these people smoking?
Uconn, at this point, should be a 6 or 7 seed.
If you look at the Lunardi bracket graphic posted above, he has Rutgirls as a 4 seed. Thats crazy. They are likely going to miss the tourney based on current trajectory.

Katz has us as a 12 and playing in a first 4 game. I was like whaaaat!? I can see us being a 5/6/7 seed.

It’s been a while since we were in the dance and we haven’t played a lot of games this season. If we keep doing what we’ve been doing, recognition will come.

We have a lot of talented players and I hate to throw out caution but could we beat a very good team first? I mean just do that before we project Sweet Sixteen.

Wake me up when we rank higher than Rutgers.

Perhaps the more interesting question is whether will be because of our ascension or RU's decline.

Dont understand how team like MICH isn’t higher. Undefeated in best conference and has blown out multiple ranked teams

They aren’t likely to be 1, 2, 3, or 4. So you think 5? That’s not too far off. And let’s not forget that all rankings are relatively subjective, and there are multiple top 25’s. I want to see Michigan play Illinois, Iowa, and MSU though - not Minn and Northwestern.
