So....What are we ranked on Monday - 12/4/23?

[real chili 83]

Bruin livers on the menu.

[Jay Bee]

71 would be middle of the road tempo and about 5 possessions per game more than any Greg Gard team

However, they project to be a higher than norm gard tempo team this year

[GB Warrior]

Don't look now but UK giving Kansas a run in the first half

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Not having the stat for possessions in a game for everyone... 71 seems super low

If you were to score 2 points on every possession the game would be 71-71. That doesn't seem crazy high offense for a 100% shooting percentage.

I'm not sure what math you are doing here...but if you scored two points on every possession in a 71 possession game, the score would be 142-142.

When someone says a game is 71 possessions long, that means BOTH teams got 71 possessions (technically one team might have got 1 or 2 more less than the other team depending on who won the tip, how many jumpballs there were and who got the last possession of each half).

obsessed…guilty as charged. Bro-in-law is a UW grad and shows no mercy. The past two years have been rough. We, make that I, need a W against them!! Haha

I hear ya.

Tell your bro-in-law that Providence just scored again!

Guessing no change this week.

[warriorchick]

Fanta has us at 3.

[Coleman]

Hard to move up when 1-3 didn't lose.

[Shooter McGavin]

Win the next three and be number 1.  What an incredible milestone that would be. Great pub for MU.  Very difficult to get opportunities like this.  Have to have the right team and the right schedule to get it done.  The 4 ranking has the attention of basketball fans.  Number 1 would really amplify that to all sports fans. Should be fun starting tonight.

This a big-time week for the program. 10:30 cannot get here fast enough. We all have waited a very long time to have a week like this one and I believe the experience on this team will not allow for the moment to be too big for them. Last year they fed off of the UNC loss and I think they learned a lot against MSU last year. I'm an eye test guy and they looked to have a poise of top 5 team against Illinois last week.

[Shooter McGavin]

Goose,

I agree on the poise they showed against a longer athletic team in Illinois on the road.  I could easily see MU winning all three games this week and being number 1.  My only concern is Oso’s shoulder.  I haven’t read anywhere that it has been a problem for him this week, which is good.  The team needs him and Gold to be their best against the best.  MU needs their length. 

Should be fun!

[GoldenEagles03]

I say we get bumped to #3 so the Maui has that little extra juice with the 1,2  and 3 ranked teams in America.

Nope, no Maui bump. Oh well.

3-0 this week and #1 it is.

[real chili 83]

We got this.

[HowardsWorld]

FAU being ranked still is pretty hilarious.

[MuggsyB]

We got this.

We have a gargantuan opportunity here real chili.  It's time to attack unlike anything our opponents have seen before and play with poise and supreme confidence.  Carpe Diem!!

0 votes for Madison, though.

Let’s not worry about the next 3 days ….

Let’s just beat UCLA.

[PointWarrior]

Yeah, no vibe killing allowed on scoop...

[NolongerWarriors]

This is hilarious, thank you for the comedy.

MU doesn't have the shooters or athletes to compete with any of the top 3 teams.  Heck, not even a top 10 team.

Even talking about MU being the best team in the country is ludicrous.

Tomorrow around 11:30 is going to be rough for you.

Win one game and you get your swagger back.   Good for you, scrappy doo.
