Poll Position...

[Bryan Medema 1,488]

Any thoughts on where IU might be relative to the polls today? I'm not assuming anything crazy like us being in the top-25, more so do you think we'll be in the "receiving votes" catagory?

 

EDIT: We picked up 6 votes in the AP(38th) and 5 in the Coaches(T-40th).

I think we will definitely receive votes maybe if we're lucky we come in at number 25

[biteoftheapple 4,115]

No. Considering we have fallen in the Kenpom ratings.

[coachmayhew 1,414]

Still outside the top 25 my friends, give it some time.

After the talk about SMU not being as good as they were billed at the time we beat them, I would be surprised if we received very many votes at all. For whatever reason, IU has always seemed to rise slowly but drop like a stone in the polls. For me, the ultimate goal for this season is to make The Dance. Rankings can be more of a beauty contest than reflecting reality---all season long

It would be nice but I doubt it

[Hoosiers96 912]

I think realistically we'll see them in the top 30.. I say this because of how many teams lost last week rather than how IU has looked

[CampHoosier 3,697]

Well, even if we beat Pitt we won't climb in because they lost to Hawaii

[ou812dude 3,326]

No. Considering we have fallen in the Kenpom ratings.

yup...and Lamar rose from 349 to 342 after their performance at IU...

[OliviaPope40 6,423]

Just because we beat a ranked team doesn't mean we will be in the polls.

We haven't really done much to deserve votes yet. Sure we beat SMU but we are going to have to do a lot more still. I've been super impressed with the team but still see us being a ways away from getting votes and/or getting into the top 25

[Hovadipo 54,940]

I hope we aren't ranked anytime soon. We're better off that way with such a young team.

[Townie 138]

I hope we aren't ranked anytime soon. We're better off that way with such a young team.

yeah.. I was hoping to remain "under the radar" if that's even possible for a team like IU lol.

[Terrie 37]

I hope we aren't ranked anytime soon. We're better off that way with such a young team.

I totally agree with you!

[Chips&Dipo 1,461]

I think we will get a few notes. Not ranked though.

[HoosierCoop 3,885]

Under the radar isn't all that bad.  It seems like no matter what IU always has a target on their back.

 

We also need to be recognized with a couple of quality road wins that will get the attention of others.

[Hoosiers96 912]

Didn't know where to put this, but I downloaded an app called Stat Sheet that grades players performances and ranks them along with many other things. May be something interesting for you guys to check out if you have time

Keep winning and the polls will take care of themselves.  Better shoot it tonight!  Over/under on 3 balls??  I say 78 attempts between the two teams!

[MartintheMopMan 7,765]

It would be really helpful if Oregon could take care of Michigan tonight and drop them down/out. If only they still had Lyle.
