Southern Illinois is 6-1 with wins over Saint Louis, Iowa St, and #24 Indiana. Their RPI is at 26. Their only loss was by 75-72 to #2 Illinois. They...
The problem with the ESPN/Coaches poll is it comes out before all games are complete on Sunday. Hence, Western Kentucky (which played last night) had not...
Creighton and Vanderbilt are not pushovers. They have very good programs. http://espn.go.com/ncb/columns/weeklyword/index/1287812.html Southern Illinois...
By no means are they pushovers, but 0-2 to those teams is worse than 1-1 against ranked Illinois and Indiana. Southern Illinois deserves the ranking over...
how about being a member of a conference that is more respected than today's Valley? The team from little egypt MAY be good ( they played the name school from...
it takes a few weeks for teams to make it sometimes i wouldn't worry about it till conference play starts at least. polls don't really matter in basketball...
As the resident "Defender of the Hilltoppers," i'll do my best to explain the ranking situation. Creighton has a 17 game home winning streak and is a good...
Don't get me wrong, I like WKU and was thrilled when they got the early season ranking. I just think SIU should be there as well. I also know how good...

And furthermore, what's up with Stanford? How are they possibly the 14th best team in the country?!? They beat Purdue, but then they lost to Texas! If...
Isn't Lucas Johnson injured? I kind of felt like he was the glue that held that team together. They lack the fire that I've seen from them in years past....
Re: Lucas Johnson My understanding is they hope he'll be playing by February 1. He doesn't want to redshirt because he's knows this is his best chance to get...
Its to early to believe the RPI. Check back in mid to late Jan. Then things really start to fall into place. But don't overlook G'town. They are good, not...
Georgetown is playing their annual game of how many cupcake wins they can get before new years to inflate their win/loss record. Then they will win enough...
Very good analysis, Russell. The Hoyas should play in the MEAC. They've played four teams from that powerhouse conference but of course not Hampton, the only...
What's the problem? I count on G-town on a yearly basis to underachieve in the tourney... it's like a free pick! It's my dirty little secret (kind of like KU...
The way I see it, Georgetown is a perfect example of why the RPI is used come March to help evaluate the field. On the surface, a team with 18 to 20 wins out ...

If you will reread my post; I did say that it would take a miracle for EITHER team to make it to postseason play. As for ranking them in Illinois, IF YOU WERE...
