Yup, 24, still ranked

MU has the most losses (7) and is still ranked.

Thank You. That is awesome Marquette is ranked 24 yet.

Marquette checking in at 24... #BeatNova

Thanks awesome news

[MU82]

24 seems fair.

Beating us and X helped The Provi move up to 15.

Also:

Madison 11, Nova 12, UConn 17, Illinois 18, Xavier 21, Texas 23.

We actually gained 11 votes from last week.

#24 in coaches

#24 in coaches

So we weren't ranked by the coaches even after winning at Nova, where nobody wins, and beating X ... but now, after losing, we are ranked.

I guess information arrives late to the sports information directors who fill out coaches' ballots.

We're the only ranked team with 7 losses, so I think it's pretty damned impressive.

Only nova this week

[NCMUFan]

Thank you for the correction.

[DoctorV]

That's it, MU is done for the week (sad!)

That said, solid for top 25 ranking.

I'll go with the solid/bold 6 spot jump prediction. I know I know still games to be played, but I did the math and I'm sticking to it!

17 in the AP next week.

It's nice that this thread is relevant

[PGsHeroes32]

Assuming we don't let up post Uconn game(hopefully we win that anyways). We should keep a number by our name the rest of the way.

Had we beaten Prov or if we do beat Uconn, basically a certainty.

[Goose]

Top ten by 2/21.

[Hards Alumni]

Top ten by 2/21.

That'd be cool, but we still have 7 losses.  If we beat UConn, we could run the table to end the regular season though...

[MU82]

Top ten by 2/21.

The big question is whether you bought a bunch of Scoopers beers last night as you promised.

Oh, I love this top 10 call -- it's certainly possible. For this upcoming week, we sure as hell better be ranked higher than Nova!

Only my son, but great company. I love seeing my grown sons enjoy quality basketball and falling back in love with the program.

[Newsdreams]

I go 19

I blame myself. I wanted to get to that game to accept your largess ... and of course to watch our alma mater win again!

But I'm glad you got to spend that time with your son. As you said, it's a blast doing stuff with our adult kids. We were loving but pretty strict parents when they were growing up -- we were their parents, not their buddies -- but it's cool that we're now "friends" with them. And both are huge Marquette fans even though neither went there.

We're going to the NMD game, and our son is driving up from Chicago to join us. Looking forward to the entire experience so much!
