I think we will stay in at 25, but if we don't at least we know we will receive some votes. It is always worse to drop out receiving no votes. Another silver lining is we seem to play a tad bit better when we are not ranked.

I imagine we are out this week but Tulsa win keeps us in Top 30. A win over UCONN on national TV would put us back in Top 25.

Agree. Low respect for Cinci and no respect for Tulsa

He did not have SMU in his top 25 ballot last week. Pretty big improvement.

National exposure on ESPN evidently helps.
SMU's first president, Robert S. Hyer, selected Harvard Crimson and Yale Blue as SMU's colors to symbolize SMU's high academic standards. We are one of the few Universities to have school colors with real meaning...and we just blow them off.

Based on Kenpom and RPI, 22 sounds about right.

Lunardi also may want to consider a 5 seed based on SMU's current status. Remember, 3 losses occurred without Markus, and 1 or 2 of those games may have had a changed outcome.

If we win out I wonder if we get a 4-seed.

If we win out including conference tourney I think you have to put us as a four.
