When I first read this, I thought you were doing the non-teal teal thing ... and maybe I still do.

I absolutely was. My point: saying, "it's better to not be ranked" is about as ridiculous as saying, "I don't want to win a natty because of all the pressure the following year."

Chris Murray has us at 12. That may be the high water mark.

Wow... For some reason, Gary Parrish looks so much more sophisticated now; maybe it's because he's ditched the scarf/ascot thing and put on some nerd glasses.

WTF that the headline is giving Markus all the credit for Marquette being top 25.

Don't worry.....You won't be ranked after losing 5 in a row......

I believed the implication was that Chicos won't be ranked. I agree with this assessment.

Marquette is back in the AP top 25 poll - #mubb makes its season debut at No. 18 this week.

Wow. That is quite the debut

GB Warrior · « **Reply #2838 on:** February 10, 2020, 11:27:35 AM »

Wow, didn't see us breaking top 20 right away. I keep looking at us rising in these and in Kenpom, and I can't help but think where we'd be if we didn't pee down our leg against Providence and Butler. Neither of those look like bad losses at the moment, but still.

Good place to be - playing for seeding and a chance to make a huge statement this week.

They've exceeded my (admittedly low) expectations and look to be really gelling as a team.

We also won an insanely improbable game @ Xavier, so whatever.

More surprising than MU jumping from NR to #18... Butler didn't move at all. Granted the home W vs. Nova and all, but still... this would seem to say a lot more about Marquette's absolutes than their relative position.

SHU #10 +2
Nova #15 -5
Marq #18 +8
Butl #19 N/C
Crei #23 -2

Great job by the program. I did not see this coming and hope more praise can be thrown their way in upcoming weeks.

MU82 · « **Reply #2843 on:** February 10, 2020, 11:35:06 AM »

18 ... that's a very nice jump. It shows that the electorate appreciates our body of work this last month: 6-1, including some very nice wins.

And the beautiful thing for those who think being ranked somehow will de-motivate our lads this week is that Nova is still ranked ahead of us. So, if he chooses to refer to the polls at all (some coaches don't like to), Wojo can say this:

"We deserve to be ranked. It is validation of all the hard work you guys have done, and of the way we have been able to win games whether we have been at our best or we have had to overcome adversity. It shows how close we have become as a team, and how playing for each other can lift us to ever-greater heights.

"And even though we are 6-1 over the last month, and even though we beat Villanova like a drum in January, and even though we finally are starting to get the respect we deserve, we STILL are ranked 3 spots behind Nova.

"This game Wednesday is not gonna be easy. They're desperate to win, and they are at home. We need to match their intensity and take advantage of this wonderful opportunity to show how far we have come this season, this opportunity for you to tell the world that Marquette will be heard from on a national stage before this season is done.

"I have so much faith in you, and so much love for all of you. Now let's kick some a$$!"

You had to work hard to find a negative in a no. 18 ranking, but you did it!

Wait how can this be? I feel like I've read that being first in "others receiving votes" is not a ranking of 26!!!

Markus misses the last 13 mins. Goodin, who couldn't hit water from a boat, starts making everything. Hell yeah it was improbable.
