Will we be ranked again? the do over

Also number 24 on the Reddit ballot. Perhaps there is hope we’ll stick around… find out in half an hour.
 
I think 23-25 is about right. We are also still #18 in KenPom and NET.
 
Once you get past the top 10 or so a bunch of similar so-so teams this year.

We can drop out next week with a bad week but a good week following would bring us right back in.

Lucky. Having 3 games this week with (24) next to our name helps perception, but we have to make good on it, at least 2-1.

I don’t see us being ranked again this season. At this stage, we’re just hoping to make the tournament.

Now they just need to take advantage of two ranked teams and a decent St. John’s team before next Monday. Looking for 3 wins, but at absolute worst 2-1 with a loss at Xavier.
 
I think most people here would take 2-1 this week but 3-0 is possible if we play near our potential.

Of course if the queen had a pair…..

This isn’t the AAC. We have like 5-6 Q1 opportunities remaining. We’ll be ranked and a top 5 seed if we want to be.

Want? People in hell “want” ice water but they sure as hell will not get it just for wanting it. But all kidding aside w your obviously mean we need the desire for a good ranking. I cannot say that our problems are just lack of desire.
 
I think we all know that #24 is a gift at this point but now is a good time for Hurley to light a fire under their asses. Calhoun sure would have. Actually there would have been nothing left to burn after Calhoun got done with them.

What two teams below them has a better resume and should be ranked ahead of them?

To be fair: “The rank is falling!”

But in all seriousness…As someone else mentioned: we’re not in the AAC anymore and the beauty of playing a quality conference schedule is that we can have highs and lows during conference play and still have national respect.

It happens in the Big Ten every year: teams run though a gauntlet and lots of teams are considered “good” in spite of their conference record.

It happens in the Big East too, just our time in the AAC clouded our memories a bit and now we’re re-realizing it.

Cute message. And who really cares whether we're ranked or not? We need to start winning games fast. If we play like we did this last week, then we've got much bigger problems than worrying about being ranked.

Correct.
 
This is OT but since this thread is about polls which include computer models and my question is tech related, has anyone tried the Brave Browser? I heard a tech radio host say it is much faster than others because it shields the user from all kinds of things that slow it down. I've been using Edge and don't really want to switch but if it makes a difference, then perhaps.

I use it and like it a lot. It basically is a browser and ad blocker mixed into one, and is really easy to whitelist any websites you feel like supporting (like the boneyard). Would recommend you give it a try to see if it impacts your browsing experience

I agree the rank is falling. My point was we win two games and are heading to the final four. We lose two and Hurley is Dom Perno reincarnated The truth is about where we are.

Huh? You literally just complained about us not being ranked again and lucky if we made the tournament. Now, you say who really cares whether were ranked or not?

I complained? What are you talking about? I said I didn’t think we’d be ranked again - that’s a statement in response to the OP’s question.

Our ranking this week is not reflective of our recent play. Our Auburn win from early in the season is still carrying a lot of weight. I don’t think anyone can look at how this team is currently playing and think - hey, they look like a top 25 team!

The point is this - the fact that we’re still somehow ranked this week isn’t all that relevant. We need to play much better during this upcoming stretch, otherwise we’ll be squarely on the bubble.

I’m rooting for us, as I always do. I hope we start a long winning streak and only rise up the rankings, locking in a tourney spot. Sorry that I’m just not all that optimistic this will happen right now, but I’m hoping I’m wrong!
