. We were pretty much insulted by this ranking by once again morons who are clueless about our team not to mention the actual roster. Pick us for NIT. It looks as if they will pick 5 A10 teams above us in their top 144. Maybe in the next life these assholes can do something for a living they may have some be knowledge in because it isn't college basketball. Just think we are only 16 spots higher than the Joey's

That's ludicrous - I know people loved Galloway and I was one of them, but let's not act like we lost LeBron James and all that's left on the roster are a bunch of bench-warmers.
I could make a case that we have 3 starters that will be on All-Conference teams and 2 of them could potentially be 1st teamers (Duren and Wright 1st Team Garland 2nd team or Honorable mention)
We will be in the top 3 of the league standings when all is said and done and will knock off one of SLU or VCU head-to-head and maybe even both.
If you wanted to say we were a bubble team but likely to get in the NCAA tourney I would say that's a fair argument as we are by no means a lock, but I do think we won plenty of favor with the selection committee by our tourney success last season and will have the edge over other teams in that regard.
Just win and shut them all up.

I'd rather have bulletin board material than words that make you rest on your laurels.

I sort of see their point. We're returning the same team minus Galloway whether or not we sneak into the tourney and go on the awesome run we did.
Also, I don't care.

I think we're ranked about 10 spots too high. I wouldn't be elated to be picked as preseason #43 but it'd be OK. "Let the Games Begin" and rankings decided on the court.
