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

[Johnny B]

insane. 1977!!!

[MuggsyB]

As much as it pains me to say, we do want Bucky to win their next game.

I can't do it.   I would much rather they get squarely on the NIT line than worry about #5 or #6.  If we take care of business the next two weeks our ranking and seed will be just fine.

[wadesworld]

That was before "the letter."

No, it wasn't.

[PGsHeroes32]

No, it wasn't.

It was before the public blow up which is what I assumed he meant.

But yeah, the letter itself had long been written.

[wadesworld]

Home game against a team with a NET of 72 is a Q2 loss, right?

Could root for the Badgers to beat Purdue and MU to get 2 wins this week to be top 5.

Nah.  Best case is the Badgers lose a close one, stay in the top 75 (Q2 loss), and Purdue loses to Illinois on Sunday.

[dgies9156]

Shall we?

NO!

We are Marquette!

We don't do things like that!

That said, the last time we were ranked this high, Ms. Dgies was just a close girlfriend, I was finishing up my senior year and gasoline was 46 cents a gallon. Last time this happened, I still had a full head of hair!

Thanks Shaka! Now, lets win big next month!

I was 13y and an 8th grader at St. Jude grade school. I am now a grandfather of three, that's a long break in being ranked this highly.

[Galway Eagle]

The entire lifespan of blockbuster happened since then.

The phrase "I want my MTV" wouldn't make since as Video hadn't killed the radio star yet

[Not A Serious Person]

But yeah, the letter itself had long been written.

For ranking purposes, what matters is when it became public.

The #2 ranking was made without knowledge of the letter.

[romey]

Highest since 1978 Believe the 2003 Team got to 8 in the AP Poll

My freshman year.  First year of Hank.

The only times MU cracks the top 8 is when inflation is a problem!

[WarriorFan]

Fantastic for the program, the University and Shaka to get this kind of recognition.  Now win the rest of the games!

[Jockey]

Beautiful.

My success point before the season started was 12-8 in the BE and get to the 2nd weekend.

[Daniel]

Congrats t the players and coaches and staff!  Wow!  That is some heavy-duty recognition!   

Let’s beat Butler!   Goo Marquette!

[DoctorV]

Highest ranking of my lifetime.

In 20 years of fandom I’ve witnessed some pretty amazing teams, so that’s a big deal.

Who woulda thought in only Shaka’s second year… need this dream to continue.

One things for sure, the casuals will be coming out of the woodwork now.
The bandwagons will fill up.
The phones will blow up.
And that’s a good thing for MUbb.
No more hiding under the radar, and that’s an entirely different animal to tackle if you are Coach Smart and the fellas on the court.

Let’s finish strong.

[The Hippie Satan of Hyperbole]

Let’s finish strong.

Pretty hard to do without a finish line.

[Tha Hound]

I know this hard for some to accept, but when it comes to a 2-seed, we don't control our own destiny. We will need some good teams to lose to some bad teams if we want to move up another seed line.

With UCLA beating Colorado today, I think we are down to two remote chances at a 2 seed. We need one of Arizona/UCLA to lose their next three games (they play each other on March 4, whoever wins will be locked in for a 2 seed). Or we need Baylor to lose their next 3. For either option, we need Kansas State to lose at least one of their next two games and it would be helpful if Tennessee lost at least one more (but maybe not necessary). All that happens, and maybe a trip to the BET finals (win or lose) is enough to grab the last 2 seed.

I'm basing this on absolutely no metrics, and I won't look into it, but I just wanted to say I think you're wrong and that we're already a 2 seed in the hearts and minds of the committee.

Also, #6 is pretty cool

With all due respect to Coach Shaka, the finish line is in Houston on April 3, 2023!

[fjm]

Wouldn’t mind that!

[cheebs09]

With all due respect to Coach Shaka, the finish line is in Houston on April 3, 2023!

Not if you are looking for back-to-back.

[Galway Eagle]

It's the hair. Shaka has a full head of hair.

Man I really hope this is a case of the website being screwed up or something, because that is one bad ballot.
