Thanks for this useful info.

I think I'll root for the team that Buffalo is playing, too!

Thanks! Not sure I want Oakland beating MSU. Lessens the value Louisville win. Though, obvi, we would move past Sparty in the rankings...#FirstWorldProblems

I'm going for Detroit...I remember going with my dad to Calihan hall, a "barn" UD played it .. Dick Vitale, John Long, Terry Tyler, Terry Duerod....always a close game with MU...beat them away one year. McGuire called it a zoo....no steeper seats anywhere. I'm sure I'd have hit the playing floor if I fell out of my seat.

I think they'll be ranked at least until Monday morning.

[BM1090]

At this point I'm cheering for Furman. Go something like 27-3 and be the 5 seed in Marquette's pod as a 4 seed.

I would be very surprised if they got a 5 seed with that record. I think they make it as an at large but would be closer to the bubble. A few years back Murray State went 30-1 and was ranked #12 in the nation but they were only given a 6 seed. Could be wrong but I think that Murray State team was better than this Furman team.

why baylor over oregon?

Basically because I hate the Pac-12 and I don't want them to have any credibility. Don't think Baylor is great either and didn't want Oregon to get a "big road win"

I think we'd rather have Indiana over Jville, but otherwise, looks like we have a chance to make some hay today (in the eyes of poll voters).
Also, I love it when MU takes care of their own bidness and this stuff doesn't matter as much!

Overall not great today. Not bad for the BEast. Nice win for the Hall. Gtown squeaked it out.
A lot of close games that could have been beneficial for our ranking that fell the other way. All we can do is win and we will continue to move up

Digging deep to find something that I remotely care about.

WKY leading Bucky on CBSSN.

Go hilltoppers!

Revenge for the Davison flop.

[We R Final Four]

Haha—yes that's right.

[Boston Warrior]

Bassy is a beast!
He was much better than happ today
Good to see whisky lose..
Hope it doesn't hurt us

[dgies9156]

So much for the Red Rodent's 15 ranking nationally

It will not hurt us. Mu will be ranked 16 on Monday. Play well in big.east and easy 4 or 5 seed.

Wow.  WI was favored to win this game by 9 by KenPom.  Bad loss for Bucky!

The first thing I thought of was our loss at Green Bay. Playing on the road at mid-majors, especially ones that are motivated (UWGB with Wardle and the in-state rivalry, WKU with the Davison flop) is tough. And Bassey is a pro. He was really good today. UW-M will be fine. Still probably win 12-13 games in the Big 10 (20 game schedule) and get a 5/6 seed.
