I honestly don’t care about top 25 in basketball. We don’t need it for fans. And it certainly seems to have no bearing on seeding for the tournament.

Being on the ESPN/FOX tv and web score scroll for top 25 teams does much for national perception and recruiting. It does not help NCAA seeding, but it's a tangible positive for the school.

Looks like we are ranked at #33. Pretty reasonable ranking given the two losses (WKU and UNI). I wish we had beaten WKU but oh well. Lets just knock off TCU.

Agreed, its nice getting constant press. That WKU loss probably kept us out this week. I also agree that when we knock off the Toads we are in!

I guess they are used to us running top 20 teams out of Moody by 20 points - 15 was short of our norm.
