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

[The Lens]

If we take care of business, we'll go into UConn a Top 10 team.  If we win that, it's over.  The ceiling is the roof.

[Jockey]

We may very well enter into Top 10 space this week on The Athletic power rankings.

We were #12 last week.

[marqfan22]

We could crack top 10 in AP...although Gonzaga playing Portland doesn't help

[MuggsyB]

Marquette imo has the highest ceiling by far among the BEast teams.  Keep the train rolling and we can snag a #2 seed without question. 

[HowardsWorld]

Think we move up to 9 or 10. Kansas (the most overrated team in the country) is about to get smoked by UK which would be their 4th straight loss and should drop them down to 20ish.

100% This team is the best in the Big East. Been saying this for a few weeks already. If we win the Big East no way we get less than a 2. Obviously, that means we finish 17-3/16-4. Couple coin flip games with Uconn and Creighton. But if they hold serve they have as good a shot as anyone to get a 2

[MuMark]

Creighton is really good......not a coin flip game at their place.

If forced to choose the most likely loss on the remainder of MU's regular-season schedule, I'd say Creighton. When healthy and on, they're tough. Very good starting lineup and significant homecourt advantage.

Gonna be extra satisfying to win that one.

[BLWarrior91]

Lots of losses by teams above us.  Plus Mississippi State beating TCU has to help us as well.

AP and coaches poll:  13

Them or creighton. They are a train right now. 17th offense, 22nd defense and climbing.

4 straight losses deserves a #30 placement.

26 again

Umm... this post did not age well.

Nope.  But it wasn't as bad as someone's take on Jop in the game thread Scoop Snoop.

It's so much fun to win on Saturday or Sunday, anticipate what we'll be ranked on Monday, and then be excited for our next game coming up on Tuesday or Wednesday.

Love this team.

Yeah, a Jop 3 pointer with 0.9 seconds on the clock to go overtime. Then Kam scoring 25 in overtime.

Expected more from Kentucky but they arent good this year either. Regardless Kansas has a murderers row the next three weeks where they play 5 ranked teams. Good luck.

FIFY

That'll happen in the Big XII

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

My guess for tomorrow:

1. Purdue
2. Tennessee
3. Houston
4. Arizona
5. Virginia
6. Kansas State
7. Alabama
8. Kansas
9. Texas
10. UCLA
11. Baylor
12. Gonzaga
13. Xavier
14. Marquette

I think we hop over #11 TCU, #12 Iowa State, and #15 Auburn but get hopped by #17 Baylor. I think X will end up just above us in votes with only a few dozen separating us. Additionally in this scenario, #s 6-10 all stay in the top 10 despite all losing this week. That means the gap between the top 10 and us is closing.

Texas won't be 9th and Xavier won't be ahead of MU.  I'm gonna go with 12th.

I know IA state dropped their game this weekend, but they also beat Kstate earlier in the week. I  can't see them dropping that much
