I have no issue with the ranking, but it was odd to read "first win of the season over a team ranked in the top 30 at KenPom.com" given as a reason to move us up, when we have a true road win against the team ranked 31. A distinction without a difference.

Good point….not much respect right now, so we need to keep winning.

CBS Sports has us at #10 up one from #11.  How can we get blown out on the road and move up one? They have Purdue up to #3.

Gary Parrish updates daily, so the adjustment for Rutgers was made Sunday. We dropped five spots then, and moved up one today after Creighton lost.

But we dropped only five spots because a true road loss to a top 30 team KenPom isn't a big deal. Look below us, and every team has a loss like that on their resume, some more than one. Baylor got drubbed by 26 at #38 Marquette. Arizona got beat by 15 at #51 Utah. Tennessee lost by 12 to #61 Colorado in Nashville. 

It's been almost 50 years since a team went undefeated. Every college basketball team loses games like @ Rutgers, even Final Four teams and national champions. The freakout when it happens is always overblown. By itself the game doesn't mean a whole lot. What matters is how we respond and how we play the rest of the season.

Agree...

We lost the Rutgers game in a 4 minute span from 11:30 of the 2nd half to 7:34... At the 11:30 mark, we were down 38-37. We didn't score again until 7:34 left. During that time, we went 0-6, none of the attempts by Trayce, and Derek Simpson, a freshman, torched is for 10 points by himself.

Tamar was guarding him during that time. Simpson was just way to fast and quick for him...

And we were missing one of our most important players that very likely could have made a difference in that game. It's not just the impact to the starting lineup we lose with JHS out, it's also the impact to the second unit by moving Galloway to the starting lineup.

We missed a lot of really good, open looks in that stretch.
