IU #13 In Preseason AP Poll

Recommended Posts

Wow….. after we lost 3 straight games,  people on here were jumping ship and wanting Coach Woodson fired! SMH….

We are playing some good basketball and winners of 3 straight. Now those same people are complaining that we aren’t ranked? Good grief! Sure, it would look nice to be in the top 25 polls. I like exactly where we are at right now. We have 6 losses and 4 of those were EMBARRASSINGLY bad, the other two weren’t far off, but close. We need to focus on one game at a time and beat the Gophers on Wednesday night. Until we can beat teams both good and bad on a consistent basis, we don’t deserve to be ranked……JMHO

If we made the 20-25 range this week, the story would be...NO respect we are a top 20 team.

If we made the 15-20 range this week, the story would be...NO respect we are a top 15 team.

If we made the 10-15 range this week, the story would be...NO respect we are a top 10 team. 

Just like Head and Shoulders. Lather, rinse, repeat.

We'll get respect when we beat Purdue...twice.

I think we play better without that number in front of our name. Keeping us at 26 is perfect - even if we win our next 3 games. #superstitious 

Either way, the selection committee goes mainly off the NET and we are 19 there.

And speaking of the NET…..is this the first time since its creation that we are ranked higher in the NET than other polls? It always seems to be the opposite.

Hanging out with Duke and North Carolina.

Meanwhile we're keeping company with FAU, College of Charleston, and St. Mary's.

Duke and UNC are finding out what it is like to replace Hall of Famers with an unknown quantity.

Wins are not guaranteed.  You have some schools better positioned to win, but you still need the right people in the right places to do so.  I hope nothing more than to see those two ACC schools fall on their face, particularly Duke.  Kentucky gets a bunch of crap but those two were some of the dirtiest in the game and they had their own propaganda network for about 30 years pumping and propping them up.

Good callout on the NET. We are also about that high in KenPom.

I think we are sitting in a great spot if we have a strong last month and a half to get up to a 3-4 seed, and we still have an outside shot at making a run at the conference (sweeping Purdue would be a must in that, which will be a tall task but glad the first game is in Bloomington).

We were a wide open Parker Stewart 3pter from sweeping them last year
