After three losses in a row, it wouldn't be a surprise to see us drop out of the polls. Consider...
-One on the road to a very good Georgetown team that has won 9 in a row and might be the favorite for the BE championship.
-A close one on the road to a good DePaul squad that also blew out Kentucky in Chicago, and also happens to be one of MU's oldest rivals.
-A heartbreaker on a last-second three to unranked Louisville in what has been one of the most hotly-contested series in the country (IMO) in recent years.
Also this week...
-#1 Florida lost to Vanderbilt
-#4 North Carolina lost to VaTech
-#6 Texas A&M lost to Texas Tech
-#7 Pitt lost to Louisville
-#13 Butler lost to SIU
-#15 Oregon lost to Cal & Stanford
-#18 OKState lost to Texas & Missouri
-#19 Arizona lost to USC & UCLA
-#20 Kentucky lost to Tennessee & Alabama
-#21 BC lost to Duke & UNC
-#22 USC lost to ASU
-#23 WVU lost to Georgetown
-#24 Indiana lost to Purdue & Michigan
-#25 Alabama lost to Florida, defeated UK
With 6 teams ranked behind us losing twice last week, I think we hold on to a top 25 spot, deserving or not. That said, I don't care if/where we are ranked. All I want is a win on Monday.
The USC was a bad loss. THey lost by 10 to a team that was winless in the Pac 10 and now only has 7 wins.
After the last three games we dont deserve to be ranked, but we might end up being ranked by "default"
yes, no question with the teams below us losing like they did.
