This gentleman has New Jersey Institute of Technology ranked above us, they have double digit losses to Cornell and UMass-Lowell. I petition he isn't allowed to vote anymore (for anything).....

Dickie V has some serious love for Furman and TCU going... Yeesh.

 

John Rothstein published his ballot before the NU vs OSU game.  Would that have impacted his rankings?  

 

Paul Klee kept Villinova at 12 this week... yikes.

 

A lot of the voters that have us out have Maryland and Kansas State as the teams that are in.

NJIT and Belmont.

Kentucky is ranked on name only.  I firmly believe that.

You all realize that Jon Nyatawa is a Purdue graduate don't you? He has no bias towards Cregihton or the Big East. He just covers the Jays. You all sound like a bunch of insecure cry babies.

 

Always wondered where Matt Perrault ended up after he got axed in Omaha.  Welcome back, Matt!!

I think we've all been silently stalked for 6 years.  I am creeped out and have to shower now.

 

On a related note...I will not be crying and will be less insecure for the upcoming week as Nebraska is now ranked #25 in the AP poll!!!

A note on a couple of these voters:

 

Dicky V.:  In the '90-'91 season, Dick Vitale said our win at home over #5 Michigan State was a fluke.  Fluke him.

 

John Feinstein:  Duke grad.  Absolutely loathsome and despicable commentary when he presumed the guilt of three Duke undergraduate students accused of rape when there was not simply a lack of evidence that they committed the crime, but ample evidence that they didn't.  His word shouldn't be trusted for anything, ever.  I'm not one to hold a grudge, but I don't think we should ever forget that case and the fact that people like Feinstein would have happily sent those 3 lacrosse players to prison for decades based on self-contradictory and confused accusations of a drug-addled and mentally ill woman, unsupported by any -- and I mean ANY -- corroborating evidence.

Is that the John Feinstein who wrote “Season on the Brink” about Bobby Knight?

SE Missouri State is tied with #11 Florida State at halftime, 34-34 in Tallahassee (in front of what appears to be about 2500 spectators)

 

#18 Arizona State is trailing Vanderbilt by 8 points five minutes into the second half in Nashville.

[49r]

SEMO was leading for a big chunk of the first half, BTW.

 

Not Top 25, but Georgia Tech is trailing by 7 at home to Gardner-Webb at halftime 45-38.

Another masterful piece of scheduling for Miles was getting the OKST game on a neutral court over holiday break so that we didn’t play in front of a student less and possibly dead arena.

[49r]

SEMO is KenPom #282, BTW.

[kleitus]

Georgia tech is god awful

 

Se mo is still doing it's best to help us move up next week.  Up 47-43 with 14 minutes left.

Vandy is about to close out ASU.

Pac 12 is awful this year.  If tournie was today... is this a 1 bid league?  I’d say it’d be close.

[49r]

'Noles pulling away now.  Most likely gonna jump us in KenPom tonight too.

Not so fast!

 

 

FSU fails to cover the KenPom spread, so they might not leapfrog us!

Will Arizona State fall out after tonight?

Coach Mo does the scheduling, this was a perfect venue for Miles & Co. in mid-Dec. Nebrasketball will be back at Sanford Pentagon! GBR !!!
