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

[MarquetteMike1977]

7 in AP

7 in AP and 7 in USA Today Coaches Poll

[MU82]

#7 seems pretty fair for Marquette.

A little surprised UNC is ahead of Kansas, but only a little.

Here are this week's games for those ranked ahead of us:

UConn - Butler, @Georgetown
Purdue - Indiana
UNC - Clemson, @Miami
Kansas - @KState, Baylor
Houston - OklaSt, @Cinci
Tenn - LSU, @TAMU

Most likely to lose a game ... KU and/or Tenn? Borderline impossible for any of these teams to have a winless week.

Would be tough to get to #5 by the time we play UConn. Kansas has a tough week but Tennessee and Houston don't. Beat SJU and we'll still have a top 10 matchup on the 17th.

Not sure about that. Tennessee, Houston, and UNC all have road games at unranked teams next Saturday, and all three opponents are fighting for NCAA bids. Top-10 teams have been historically bad in those games this year. And Kansas has one of those tonight along with Baylor at home Saturday. There are some landmines out there. Just need to beat SJU and Butler to set up that UConn game.

NMD and Revenge factor at Butler. Can't ask for 2 better motivators.

Yep, those don't figure to be cakewalks, especially the game in Indy.

That's why you join a conference like the Big East.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

I'm really surprised that UNC wasn't punished more than that. Losing to Georgia Tech is a brutal loss and beating Duke at home isn't that big of a redeemer IMHO. I thought Kansas would jump them and I thought Houston would stay put at 4. I didn't think voters would punish Houston for losing at Kansas.

I'm also surprised by the lack of love for Texas. I thought winning at TCU and taking Houston to OT would have gotten them enough love for the 25 spot. Instead, they only picked up 12 votes from last week.

Agree with this.

Maybe its true the voters only look at the weekend scores.

[barfolomew]

My only question would be how Gonzaga got any votes at all.

I'm with you.

Zags haven't met the eye test from what I've seen of them, but the metrics still like them.
Ranked 21 on Kenpom still.

Kansas.

No way Kansas should be ranked ahead of MU. But hey, IK,IK. It's Kansas, it's Kansas.

Would you call any of the Jayhawks players “dung”?

Shaka must not be feeding Rothstein adequate insider info

He’s got us goddamn 11th

[zcg2013]

I have this odd feeling that Shaka isn't the biggest fan of Rothstein. I've listened to his pod a long time now, and not once has he been on. I believe Wojo was on once back in the day.

FWIW also not a big fan of Rothstein, there's a reason he's blocked me on twitter since 2014.

Shaka has been on Rothstein's pod before.
Rothstein is just a simpleton stooge and that's most likely why he has MU outside the top 10.

Or they are best friends and Shaka needs bulletin board material.

KU down 4 in Manhattan.  4:19 remaining.

KSU appears to be allergic to the ball.  But, after 2 tip ins by KSU - OT.

[94Warrior]

KState wins!  And, I hate Bill Self.

[MuggsyB]

Can't stand the guy as well.

No, but you would. That is the top of your vocabulary

[Uncle Rico]

No, but you would. That is the top of your vocabulary

You called Stevie Mitchell dung

[94Warrior]

Bill Self is dung.  Shaka agrees with this assessment.
