I think #24 is perfect for us. X kinda got screwed here. Marquette I get it they lost two

 

[Tenspro2002]

That's really gotta chap Xavier that they beat us and they fall out of the rankings while we stay in.

Seems like another gift for us, but the more weeks we're ranked, the more it helps perception and hype of the program. (A casual viewer seeing an unranked team doesn't know if they're #26 or #326.)

WOW. Boneyarders like @KodiacKemba who wanted to fire Hurley a few days ago seem very quiet this morning.

 

[MTBingNinja]

I think a lot of AP personnel look to Kenpom to surmise their rankings as well.

 

[UConnSwag11]

Three home games in a row. Two at GAMPEL. No excuses

 

[Brochacho]

Fair ranking. These next 8 days are huge.

 

[XLCenterFan]

LOL. Murray State and Wyoming would get stomped out by us.

 

[Huskybass]

Interesting that the Big East is down to 3 ranked teams, with Xavier and Marquette just outside the Top 25.

Seton Hall has been a different team without Bryce Aiken. Need to take care of business at Gampel on Wednesday. The first game against Seton Hall was a missed opportunity.

FWIW they're #24 in the Coaches Poll also.

College basketball rankings: Kentucky, Arizona, Duke move up as top five in Coaches Poll gets a shake-up

Gonzaga is still ahead of Auburn, but after that the Coaches Poll has a new look with some heavyweights in the top five

Looks like Aiken is projected to come back on the 19th Saturday’s DePaul game.

We would probably beat them but this team isn't blowing anyone out.

How in the hell has Providence lost ONE conference game out of twelve

We need to capitalize on that. Three home games in a row just doesnt happen in league play.

Because they’re winners. They ain’t the best team on the floor in 1/2 these games, but they win the games somehow. I respect the hell out of it more than 1/2 the teams whose metics are better. They could be on a path for being a first round high seed upset. They could also win 3 or 4. Neither would shock me, but if I was a peecee fan I’d be enjoying the ride into March.

So you’re saying they might triple or quadruple their NCAAT output of the last 20 years combined????

If not now, when? Especially since it’s their last ride before Cooley moves on.

By casual viewer do you mean 90% of the BY?

 

[Yankees32123]

The Big East is too good to only have 2 ranked teams. We have the strength of the conference to thank.

I dont know whats going on with the rest of the country but it seems voters really seem to like us this season. Hope they know something many of us dont.

I would’nt call them winners until they’ve actually won something that matters. That goes for them and their coach

Have you watched either of them play this year? They are really good teams.

 

[XLCenterFan]

@JustbrewitMan they are mid-majors playing even lower mid-majors. Not even sure Wyoming is considered a mid-major. I’ll give Murray State a pass, but it’s absurd that Wyoming is ranked ahead of us.

You didnt answer my question. Have you watched either of them play?

Then it's very clear you've paid no attention. Wyoming is in the Mountain West who's pretty much a lock to get 4 teams into the NCAA tournament this year. They have 6 teams in the top 51 on KenPom right now, and the conference is right on par with the Pac-12 and ACC this season
