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

[The Lens]

Why would MU be ranked when they don't have a single good win?

You're trying to be cute, but I'll be serious:

3-3 in KenPom A games
3-1 in KenPom B games
7-0 in KenPom everything else games

That's 6 solid wins and a top 25 resume, if you don't think so it's evident you don't understand college basketball.  Sorry you're behind.

Goodman has us at #20.

Dumb of him, would have been better if MU was ranked when MU beats them

I don’t believe he has a vote though.

We went from unranked in Golden's ballot to 15th this week after beating St. John's and Georgetown. Listen, I'm happy to be 15th, but that kind of jump for beating St. John's and Georgetown is why voters aren't taken seriously at times.

AND he dropped UW-Madison from 15th to Not Ranked...I change my mind, this guy rules (for now)!

It would be nice if he gets a bit of a wake-up call Wednesday night.

Agreed.  I think this week goes a long way in showing the rest of the CBB world how good MU is.  Win a couple and we will be top ten and never out the rest of the year.  Should be a fun one on Wednesday to get it started.  Hope the team is ready to pounce and the fans are loud.  Fiserv should be electric!

Looks like MU will make it. Beating Georgetown still has some cache.

Winning twice fairly impressively while numerous teams in front of us lost, some more than once, still has some cache too. As does starting 5-1 in the Big East, with the only loss coming on the road in double OT to another team moving into the rankings.

I feel pretty good about us having a top-25 resume to date.

[GoldenEagles03]

Chris Murray, Nevada AP voter puts Nevada in at 25.  Marquette not included in his ballot.

He and Borges are the only 2 I've seen so far to not have Marquette.

Might be his last chance to rank Nevada with a straight face. Their next six games are against the five best teams in the MWC, and three of them are on the road.

Taking MU out of the equation, there are only 3 good teams in the BE (UCONN, Xavier and Providence). 

[UWW2MU]

I am and have all year been very high on this team and believe they have what it takes to be a top performing team.  At the same time, I'm also very superstitious and/or feel the effects of the COLE.  With that being said, I HOPE we are not ranked yet until we win this week.  Too often I've seen us get ranked one week and then have a tough matchup that following week which shouldn't take us out necessarily, but does.  So let's hopefully be RV this week, win big this week, and be ranked and in solidly starting the following week and for the rest of the year!

Feels like the last 10 years Marquette has done a lot of losing when they get a number next to their name.  On paper it lines up for that to continue to happen with their next 3 games being against likely Top 25 teams and 2 being possibly in the Top 10. Wednesday should give us a good idea of what this team can be.

UConn is going to feast down low, but Marquette held their own in both games last year.  On an optimistic side of things1 was without Morsell that was a 1 point game late.  This UConn team doesn't have that guy who can consistently go get his own bucket like they had in RJ Cole last year.  Should be a fun week.  Screw it, win both and get into the Top 10.

Good point, once you take out a really good team in MU and forget about another really good team in Creighton, there are only three good teams in the conference.
