Official Top 25 Poll Watch

[Veritas]

Coash has said numerous times he is tired of the lack of media coverage on the team this season! I am all for flying under the radar, but I want coach to be happy and want him to stay

Good Point. I'm not a big ADES supporter, so I might be a bit subjective. However, what does the WSU SID do exactly? Are they simply helpless like a bird with a broken wing and play victim?

Last time we were ranked was Dec 2006. We were #16 or something and then promptly dropped out and didn't even make the NIT.

this **** is why marshall will leave for a bcs school! At this level have to freaking win every game and than some to even be ranked. Its gotta be stressful to be coach.

Its the coach's poll. Relax and enjoy the ride.

Creighton losing twice before the beat down Saturday night did not help matters. That hurt all of us. Thanks Jays!

...or we hope he has a tougher character than that and turn this program into a Butler or Gonzaga. Embrace who and where you are and persevere through the challenges that helps build the character you represent. GO SHOX!!!

Just curious - every coach has cash (bonus) incentives for conference performance (championship), tournament appearances and reaching certain tournament milestones - is there bonus incentive for being ranked, typically?

[EB 22]

Too much worry about the coach's poll. We continue to win; we'll be there.

Better to be in the coach's poll on March 5th than February 13th.

We got beat out of the Top 25 by a 17-8 Notre Dame team.

UNLV who we beat is 11th, and has an identical record as us.

UNLV deserves to be where they are. First, they have no bad losses like we do (Drake). Losing to us, Wisconsin, Wyoming and SDSU and all on the road - that's a tough group of games for anyone. Also, they have a North Carolina win and are 6 - 3 against the top 50 RPI. We are only 2 - 3 against the top 50.

I'm surprised we are not in, but it was not expected. Notre Dame is cool. They are 6 - 4 against the top 50 and their only 'bad' loss is against a 12 - 13 Rutgers team on the road. How well would the Shox fair against Missouri, Gonzaga, Indiana, UCONN, Cincy, to name a few of Notre Dame's losses.

I'm actually a little glad by this and it may provide additional motivational fodder for the boys. We've still got some tough games ahead and if we take care of nbusiness we'll be in the rankings. Hell, we've waited this long, what's another week?

re:

Polls are nice for the fans and all...but really, who cares?

I think this will keep the chip on our shoulder. Big games forthcoming!

We would do better than most think. I am still not impressed with MU-
