So....What are we ranked on Monday - 11/1/2024?

[brewcity77]

So a few weeks ago we’re ranked 23rd

In that time we go 4-1 and our only loss is on the road in 2OT to a now ranked team.  Additionally we’re 15th in KenPom and have the 6th best offense.  It’s really ridiculous to think we’re just 25.  We've only improved our resume since last being ranked.

Had we dropped from 23 to 25 after Providence, we'd probably be in the top-15 by now. That's okay, let them all sleep on us.

I like the coaches poll better.

I do too ... this week! 

Had we dropped from 23 to 25 after Providence, we'd probably be in the top-15 by now. That's okay, let them all sleep on us.

Or we could have beaten Providence, moved up, and then moved up again!

[MarquetteDano]

Guess I should just enjoy being ranked in both polls again but it is going to be annoying if we go 1-1 this week, given the teams we are playing, and drop out next week.

Have a feeling that we will get a much better ncaa seed than our AP ranking would indicate.

Gotta win 2 of the next 3 at least.

If AP votes were seed order Marquette would be a 7 seed.  What is much better than a 7 seed to you? 4 or 5?

Right now, 5 or 6.

Keep playing like we've been playing, 4 or 5.

Exactly - put Duke’s resume with any other team and they’re in the bottom section of the ‘others receiving votes’.  But it’s been fun watching Scheyer look clueless with his collection of 5 stars.

I know it’s incredibly early, and not to say I told you so, but I’ve been on the Jon Scheyer is going to be a terrible coach bandwagon since it’s inception.

[brewcity77]

This week will go a long way toward both ranking and seeding. We could easily drop out and drop back to the bubble discussion with two losses, or we could be talked about like another K-State with two wins.

[MU82]

I know it’s incredibly early, and not to say I told you so, but I’ve been on the Jon Scheyer is going to be a terrible coach bandwagon since it’s inception.

Results matter, especially at a place like Duke, but do we have evidence yet that he's a "terrible coach"? Maybe you do. I haven't seen a second of Duke basketball this season, but like everyone else I've seen the scores.

I know rankings don’t matter and all that matters are net ranking besides the help with recruiting and national exposure. With that being said, I think the number by our name makes everyone who supports Marquette much more excited. Not trying to jinx anything but A TON of ranked teams losing today and over the last week. Any predictions where we could be with a win on Sunday?

I know this is a red-hot take, but jinxes aren’t real.

After we win tomorrow, I see top 15 as quite possible.

One team we won’t see ranked is the boring plodders of Madison.

We wouldn't pass Xavier with a win, but we should with it being a road game.

Agree, top 15 is possible with a win and top 20 is possible with a close loss. Also, the badgers will be much closer to the bubble than they are to being ranked once the new polls come out.

You think we will go up 5+ spots with a close loss tomorrow?

[Daniel]

Let’s just get a W at Xavier and the polls will take care of themselves.   Gooo Marquette!

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Yall can never just wait huh?

[CountryRoads]

You think we will go up 5+ spots with a close loss tomorrow?

I think MU solidly passes these teams regardless of tomorrow:

- Arkansas
- UW
- Providence
- Charleston
- Missouri

Hopefully we don’t need to find out.

[DoctorV]

Unranked opponents are about to go 7-3 over ranked squads today with Clempsons win over Puke.

Arizona down at HT, 5 more such matchups left on the night.

[MU82]

We wouldn't pass Xavier with a win, but we should with it being a road game.

It's quite possible that we pass Xavier after we win. Losing at home easily could drop them from 12 to 17 or 18; beating the #12 team on the road after we just beat the #6 team at home easily could move us from 25 to 15 or 16. Depending on what others do; lots of others are losing.

Sure hope we get to find out if the above is true!

[brewcity77]

We wouldn't pass Xavier with a win, but we should with it being a road game.

I'd take that bet. Wins over #6 & #12 in the same week would give us the kind of bump K-State got last week. We'd be 10-15.

[DoctorV]

8 wins for unranked teams over ranked ones now.

Texas and UCLA about to go into HT losing to UR teams, both at home.

Might be looking at an all-time record for a single day, if we don’t already have it

How good is C of C?

I'd love to find out!

Charleston?
I’d guess not very good, they are currently 80 in KenPom.

MU should pass them up regardless

[CAGASS24]

Lotta losses between 9-20 this week; win today and we could be way up there……
