Buzz Williams' squad followed a big-time win at Wisconsin with a thriller over Washington in the Jimmy V Classic. Darius Johnson-Odom is the real deal.
Last week we were 17 in the preseason. It's nice to see MU in the top-10.
For the ESPN/Coach's Poll that comes out each Monday....who does the voting? I am assuming coach's, but the point totals wouldn't make sense for every D1 coach in the nation. Thanks.

Gracias Ohbie.
Ooops -- just saw this was posted previously. Sorry.

I would have expected a higher vote from Gottlieb (compared to other writers) than 10, but 10 is pretty high so I guess I can't complain.
Wow, Mizzou with a 23 spot jump in the rankings. That win over Villanova was huge.
