4 votes for Creighton. I don't care that they didn't have their star voting for a team two games above .500 that lost this past week in his second game returned is a waste of vote.

My guess is it's a KenPom voter. Creighton still #17 in KenPom.

Pretty big gap between us (131) and #24 Duke (221). Another decent gap between the first team out Baylor (93) and the next team out Clemson (43). It tells you something that there are only two 4 loss teams in the top 25 and we're one of them and the other is only there because of Blue Blood privilege.

Only 2 Big 10 teams in the top 25. Can't remember the last time that happened. 6 of em in others receiving votes

I knew K-State would make a big jump but to go from 41 votes to 818 in one week this far into the season is impressive. Let's beat that number after handling two top 12 teams this week!

Hoping Baylor can work their way back into the rankings. That win looked great when it took place, but losing value quickly. Are they still a quad 1 win?

No, they are just outside Q1 with a NET of 31. Literally one spot off. Our metrics are beautiful but our Quadrant numbers could be better:

Q1A: 0-2
Q1B: 1-1
Q2A: 2-0
Q2B: 2-1
Q3: 2-0
Q4: 6-0

#25 seems fair.  Although Duke is not good. 

[Milkshakes]

UConn #6.  Let's do to them what we did to the last sixth ranked team we played.

Exactly - put Duke's resume with any other team and they're in the bottom section of the 'others receiving votes'.  But it's been fun watching Scheyer look clueless with his collection of 5 stars.

Who is our Q2B loss to?

Who is our Q2B loss to?

Wisconsin.

Taking Purdue out of the equation, there are no good teams in the Big 10.

I'm back in on Michigan State.  Malik Hall is healthier and they have some decent guard play, but I agree overall.  Very unimpressive.

[mugrad_89]

Wisconsin.

They can continue sucking for the rest of the season, even if it makes that loss look worse over time.

[MU82]

Glad to be ranked.

That in the past we sometimes lost right after being ranked has nothing to do with the present. This team deserves to be recognized as one of the 25 best in the country.

We Are Marquette!

Tough draw on the schedule this week to eliminate that trend.

But like you said, its just good to be reconized. Lets go try and win a game or 2 this week.

Taking 1 outta 2 should keep MU in.

Taking 0 outta 2 wouldn't.

Let's go

I choose Door #3.

When this Wisconsin team is in the running to win the title...

[BCHoopster]

Interesting to see what MU can do this week, height vs. quickness

[The Lens]

So a few weeks ago we're ranked 23rd

In that time we go 4-1 and our only loss is on the road in 2OT to a now ranked team.  Additionally we're 15th in KenPom and have the 6th best offense.  It's really ridiculous to think we're just 25.  We've only improved our resume since last being ranked.

Wow.

No one told me I'm allowed to dream this early on a Monday!

Yep, when you put it that way its dumb. But that's just not how it works.

I like the coaches poll better.
