So....What are we ranked on Monday - 1/6/2025?

There's no way Wisconsin is the 4th best team in the country. That lineup screams good not great.

Well, they won't be ranked 4 next week after we spank 'em Friday!

[BCHoopster]

Are you talking about teams that we will play, or college bball in general.

Mainly Big East. 

[MU Fan in Connecticut]

15 thru 18 in this weeks rankings looks funky when listed.

[Stretchdeltsig]

The Warriors will crush the farm boys.

[mu_hilltopper]

We'll be ranked #4 on Monday.

Prior to today's game Joe Lunardi had MU as one of the laat four team's in the tourney, and as the 45th seed:

In an unfair bout of sports statistics, Kenpom sez we went from #34 before beating the badgers, to....#34. 

And Wisconsin dropped from #7 before losing to...#9.

So I guess MU gets to celebrate knocking them down a little

(and yes, I know computer numbers are stupid at this point in the year).

25?????!!!!

So the math actually shifted around the game, as Marquette dropped from 34 to 35 after tip-off, and the projected kenpom spread went from -1 to -2, but at 34, the result was only a 3-point swing. Obviously it was a win instead of a loss, but that doesn't really make much difference in terms of the mathematically metrics. That's why we never cracked the kenpom top-20 in 2019, despite being 23-4 at one point.

Will we be ranked??

[tower912]

No.   Doubt we receive a vote.

[vogue65]

No.   Doubt we receive a vote.

Come on my man, not even one vote?

We gotta get a little kiss, knocking off #4.

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

Had we not lost to OK State, we'd be top 20. But we're gonna need to rattle off some more wins to get into the top 25.

How are they calculating home vs away games? If it's the same as normal that doesn't make any sense. But some states are going to allow some fans, so I'm not sure how Kenpom or NET will work this year. Eye test will mean more this year than years past.

I strongly suspect that high-major non-con games will take on vastly higher importance in kenpom and the NET this year. All non-con games will matter more than usual, but the big match-ups in particular will be what is used to divide the top-6 leagues that tend to dominate at-large bids.

win out this week and sneak in?

[PGsHeroes32]

We will get votes

[geps]

FWIW we did move up 33 spots to 86th in the realtimerpi rankings. Gotta sweep this week.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

The win over Bucky got us a lot of pub. Arguably the second biggest upset between two high majors so far this season. I suspect that will be enough to get us a couple of votes

[Daniel]

We will get some votes but that's about it.....
