most votes yet. More than I expected. Not sure how LSU is getting votes...although they beat UK. Didn't they lose to Rhode Island by 20+? Good to see UCONN ranked. Memphis still somehow in there. Will be interesting when they play zaga

Memphis is still in there because a lot of ranked teams lost and even though they got blown out, losing to SMU on the road is considered a good loss. Let that sink in, never thought if see the day

I still have no idea how LSU lost to Rhode Island? It was actually a close game, a four point win for R.I. I believe. LSU beat Kentucky and Arkansas last week so that's pretty impressive.

Cant wait. Take care of business with Temple first.

They play Uconn Thursday. Hopefully they pull it off and come in tired to an obnoxious Moody as a top 10 team.

Beat Temple!

So much to like about this. Most votes so far this year. Playing Cincinnati when they're in the Top 10. Feels like an almost guaranteed ranking next week if we beat Temple and Cincinnati. Especially if UConn loses to Cincy. These are all amazing things.

Beat Temple! I kind of hope this team is building a little bit of the Nobody Believes in Us chip on its shoulder and comes out looking to annihilate anyone in its path.

I rewatched the Memphis highlights many times this weekend. It is absolutely crazy how well some of our guys can pass in transition or along the baseline or while moving and jumping. Mostly Nic Moore but also occasionally Ben, Nick, Markus, etc. Baffling considering the only good SMU teams I've seen in my 20 years of fandom were the 93 squad and 00-01.

Yeah, I've watched LSU play this year. Pretty good team, and they seem to be getting stronger as the year goes on.
