Freeway?

Is Freeway the world class dancer that dances at various sporting events in the Milwaukee Area ?

I remember meeting him back in 1992 at County Stadium in the bleachers.

Fun Memories....

Marquette is in the Big East... why mention it in the same poll as CAA, Horizon and MWC teams...

Marquette is listed because their not a top 25 yet this year and considered a darkhorse team like last year.

Plus this is a Marquette site.

Hmm...this year's Butler? As in team that shocks everyone by coming from a mid-major conference and getting within one shot of upsetting Duke for the national championship? My vote is...no one.

And unranked teams succeeding from major conferences isn't a Cinderella, in my opinion. After all, Syracuse began last season unranked in the AP poll and earned a #1 seed, far from unprecedented. Marquette getting a #1 would certainly be unexpected, but considering the conference, if we managed to win the Big East (say 15-3) and make at least the semis of the tournament, I think we'd have a shot at it. It's unlikely, but not impossible.

Of all the teams listed, though, I think Cleveland State has the best chance to make some noise.

OD lost at Delaware on Saturday.....

I live in San Diego and attend many Aztec games (don't get back to the BC very often).  They are for real.  Very solid front court.  Point guard may be their weak spot.  Maybe not final four material, but could make some significant noise in the tourney......

Better add the Blue Hens to the poll.

I actually like all 3 of those MWC teams a lot this year; SD St and UNLV a touch more than BYU. UL and UNLV should be a good game Saturday. Arizona plays BYU at I'm guessing the Jazz's gym Saturday, too, so should know a fair amount about those two in a few days.
