What is our ranking

[Jhuskie89]

What is our ranking after the win versus the Zags?

 

[uconngb]

Who cares????

 

[husky429]

My guess is #11

 

[LandOtter]

Despite what the guys have done in the last 10 days, I still see the AP punishing us for Maui. They won’t let us in top 10 yet. I am going to predict 12th.

 

[UCLJ0211]

12-13 seems about right

 

[bendm]

I’m hoping for 12. Go into conference play on the 3 seed line Then slowly work our way into the top 8 as other teams lose. Depending on Marquette’s ranking on 2/1 we aren’t going to have the opportunity to make any more big jumps in the rankings

 

[navery12]

16, 14, 12, 11 lost, but 11 lost to #17 Texas A&M. So I'll say we're only moving up to 15

 

[Huskyforlife]

13

We don’t need to play ranked teams to make big jumps in the rankings…that’s not how this works. Just win games in the Big East and let everyone above us keep losing and we will keep moving up.

That’s not the definition of a big jump like we had last week and will have again this week. As opposed to jumping up 7 spots based on a win we’d jump a spot or two depending on who loses. And if they don’t lose we ain’t jumping them.

 

[alphasigko]

12

 

[UCann]

12

Agree, we’re 12 on KenPom so hoping the AP ranking matches that. I think overall, voters should now be looking past Maui.

 

[HuskyNan]

These teams ranked higher than UConn lost and may drop:

#6 Marquette L to Dayton 63-71
#8 Gonzaga L to #18 UConn 71-77
#11 Purdue L to #17 Texas A&M 66-70
#14 Michigan L Arkansas 87-89
#16 Clemson L Memphis 82-87

Other ranked teams with games before the next poll:
#3 Iowa State vs Omaha
#12 Oregon vs Stephen F Austin

 

[JB75]

considering we jumped 7 spots last week to 18 this week I wud expect at least a 4-5 slot jump. Prolly bout 13. Maybe even 12- we beat Xavier’s, cracking back into the top 10 by Christmas. Crazy considering where we stood after Maui

 

[HooperScooper]

Cameron Salerno of CBS Sports thinks they'll be #13 tomorrow.

We should pass Clemson and Gonzaga. Maybe we push past another but not sure who it would be (We lost to same Dayton team as Marquette and have an additional loss etc). I’m going 14

You only really see big jumps when it’s early in the year and teams are unknown or ranked too high or too low. At this point, you aren’t going to see a lot of teams jumping 8-10 spots because of one big win (unless everyone else ahead of them loses also). This is just how the polls work, it’s not so much how many games you lose, but when you lose them. As an example, we lost our first 3 games of the season which is actually the best time to lose a game. If we win every game from here on out which I don’t expect we will, we will be ranked #1 by the end of the year.

 

[Palatine]

On Sunday we were 12 and Gonzaga was 6 on Kenpom.

 

[CL82]

#8

 

[Hunt for 7]

I was thinking 12 or 13. I would take either. It may be smaller but hoping to get us closer to top ten level. Really more focused on the KenPom and Net rankings at this point. We know after the last two years they are way more accurate (personally I prefer KenPom) than any writers or coaches poll.

I will be paying close attention to our defensive metrics. We lead the country in blocked shots per game but just inside the top 70 defensively on KenPom. As Hurley said Gonzaga is top 3 offensively in the country and we defended them fairly well. Hopefully that bodes well for the trajectory of our defensive metrics.

 

[JerseyAlum]

Give it an hour - too early for AP/Coaches

BPI we are 9th which for my money is more valuable ranking info then what AP writers or coaches think.

 

[TheHorde]

20 minutes. I mean, 55 minutes.

 

[Tenspro2002]

#6 Marquette L to Dayton 63-71
#8 Gonzaga L to #18 UConn 71-77
#11 Purdue L to #17 Texas A&M 66-70
#14 Michigan L Arkansas 87-89
#16 Clemson L Memphis 82-87

Other ranked teams with games before the next poll:
#3 Iowa State vs Omaha
#12 Oregon vs Stephen F Austin

We should jump at least Michigan and Clemson. A&M will also move up. Not sure if we'll leapfrog Purdue. Going ahead of Gonzaga is probably too much. I'll say #14.

 

[Ewekon]

15 ... jump Purdue, Michigan and Clemson.

7 of the top 11 being SEC is unbelievable. Talks of 12 SEC teams in the tourney and even all 4 one seeds being SEC. The hoops qualify in that league has come along at a level no one could have expected.
