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

[Coleman]

Villanova and Xaiver 33 and 34 in votes, respectively.

[MUfan12]

MU drops out of the Coaches Poll. Iowa gets in at 25 with wins over MD Eastern Shore and Abilene Christian.

Iowa might finish 4th in the conference this year.  They have some nice, veteran players that were close last year, but will put them in the NCAAs this year if they stay healthy.

Michigan State, Ohio State, Michigan, Indiana, Wisconsin.

Which two teams is Iowa better than?

[MUMountin]

A good win Thursday followed by a solid victory over ASU on the road and we start our climb back up.

Seems about right--a loss like that at home raises a lot of questions about how good this team is.  But, still given the benefit of the doubt to hang in the Top 25 to demonstrate that we belong there.  ASU game is pretty big for righting the ship--both for the team itself and the polls.

Glad we stayed in at 25. I like being on the crawl.

[real chili 83]

I say 25.

Creighton rolls to 4-0.  VCU, Michigan, and Louisville lose.

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

MU stays at #25 in today's AP.  Creighton up to #20.  UMASS sneaks in at #24.  ASU #34 in votes.

[MU82]

Surprised but glad we stayed ranked. Hopefully, we will justify that ranking this week, starting tonight.

I'm only surprised because of the collective uncertainty around the team.  Thankfully (or not), the voters rarely drop a team unless they actually lose during a particular week.  My guess is that we need to win out this week to stay ranked.

Remain on the outside looking in for the Coaches Poll. Went from 26 last week to 28 this week.

[real chili 83]

Hunt had three BE teams in his top 25.  Atta boy Mike!

Ahhh... good guess.

[RideMyBuycks]

I think we stay at 25 in the AP if we draw Creighton on Sunday and take em down. This is starting to look like a team that belongs in the rankings.

[PGsHeroes32]

Yeah pretty simple here. Beat Creighton stay ranked right around 25

Lose and we are down a ways on others receiving votes.

[RideMyBuycks]

Not sure it matters now. I think we'll be unranked either way.

[brewcity77]

Not sure it matters now. I think we'll be unranked either way.

If we're ranked, it'll be right around where we're at now. San Diego State's only loss is to the Arizona team that took out Duke today. Of course, the win looks less impressive when balloters see they have a 4-2 record, never mind that the only losses would be Arizona and us.

[chren21]

Will the BE even have a ranked team?

[CTWarrior]

Will the BE even have a ranked team?

After beating Kansas, I think 6-0 Villanova has a good shot at being ranked.  Definitely if they beat Iowa today.

[LloydMooresLegs]

BE will have those 3 teams bunched 23-27. 

[real chili 83]

No where to be found.  Very understandable with 2 losses.

A victory on Saturday should get us back on the radar.

Congrats to Villanova for moving to 14th.

[MU82]

Didn't get a single vote. Nor should we have. Also 108th in RPI ... and though that obviously will improve gradually, this hasn't been the greatest 24 hours in recent MU hoops history.

Buzz has re-discovered the "chip." Time to roll.

[willie warrior]

108 in RPI speaks volumes to our prior overrated status. Hope we do improve.
