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

[mileskishnish72]

Definitely top ten - when were we last there?

[cheebs09]

I think Buzz's first year in 2008, unless I'm missing a more recent one. Probably right before we lost the USF game or going into the UCONN game at home. I want to say we were 8th.

Definitely top ten - when were we last there?

Um ... 8 weeks ago right before the LSU loss we were #10.

How soon we forget!

[cheebs09]

Wow, totally forgot about that. For some reason I thought we were ranked number 12 going into LSU.

[Tugg Speedman]

Wow, totally forgot about that. For some reason I thought we were ranked number 12 going into LSU.

Now if the question is when were we last top 10 after February 1, the answer, is 2009, Buzz's first season when we started 9 - 0 in the BE.  Were got as high as #8 on four different weeks.  Here is the first.

We also hit #10 in 2008 (Crean's last year)

and #8 2003.

Higher than #8 in the regular season, you have to go back to the 1970s (post season we were #4 in 2003).

10/11

[Goose]

I think we crack Top 10 this week. My guess is #9

[Avenue Commons]

10/10

[bamamarquettefan]

It looks like 10/11 unless they would drop Ohio State all the way below us for the loss at Michigan.  Honestly, that would be pretty harsh since you never expect to win a road game against a ranked team, but perhaps combined with the fact that they didn't look good the previous week and we looked so good on national TV.

[mileskishnish72]

Wow, good one 'nother. Missed that.

[WellsstreetWanderer]

 we land at 10

[brewcity77]

I think we land at 10/10. Pass by Baylor and UNLV in both, and our impressive win at UConn let's us slide past Florida (only 2 points back) in the coaches poll as well.

What are our chances of leapfrogging Ohio St.?

Parrish/Goodman are jacking Marquette around at #12 this week.

They historically have ranked Marquette 2-3 spots lower than were Marquette lands, so #10 is looking good.

[MU B2002]

What are our chances of leapfrogging Ohio St.?

Slim to none.

[🏀]

Slim to none.

I'd say more like one out of a million

[ringout]

I don't know, Jimmy Dykes said we didn't look like a top-15 team.

Who is Jimmy Dykes?  Should I feel dumb not knowing?  If so, I am feeling dumb.

[🏀]

Seth Davis has Marquette at #10.

[MUMac]

Who is Jimmy Dykes?  Should I feel dumb not knowing?  If so, I am feeling dumb.

An ESPN announcer.  He said that earlier this year during a game he called.  Might have been after the LSU or Norfolk State game.

[dwaderoy2004]

He said it during the Vandy drubbing.

[MUMac]

Thanks.  I have compartmentalized that game to a part of my brain I try not to use.

[MU82]

We didn't look like a top-215 team against Vandy. That game might as well have been another century ago.

I'm sure if you asked Dykes today, he might say we've become a pretty nice team.

[Buzz Williams' Spillproof Chiclets Cup]

I'd say more like one out of a million

[🏀]

Thank you.

[muzzwilliams]

I would love to see us at the 8 spot but realistically we'll be number 10.
