Official Top 25 Poll Watch

Hes a good shooter and thats about it.

Indiana looks about ready to pull out another huge win over Michigan State. Not good for us when they're just a bit ahead of us in seeding already. Might jump us in the Top 25 as well. 15 point lead with two minutes to go. They've dominated the Spartans since the opening seconds.

*Edit: Down 15 with 24 seconds to go. Michigan State is gone. I really hope we end up in the non-Kentucky/Syracuse bracket, because every other 1/2 seed is very vulnerable.

Indiana took the lead for good with 17 minutes to go in the first half. Michigan State almost had two separate four minute scoreless streaks in the second half, including to almost close out the game.

Did you know that Ben Simons is recovering from Mono after sitting out several games? Not to say your guys' conditioning is not very good, but I'm pretty sure that's still affecting him. Now is the time of year

Sorry, MD. You are right and I was dead wrong in my fatigue comment. I forgot about the mono.

No worries! I think many people didnt realize Simons sat out first games because of Mono. I was surprised he was able to do as well as he did againsy you guya. The scary thing is, he went off for 7 threes, and you guys won by double digits. Winning consistently by doubke digits is tough! And despite our bracketbuster showing (the Valley) is tougher than people think.

As far as the top 25, if Shockers coast through the tourney then i wouldnt be too surprised if you crack the top 10. But of course we all know how tough Arch is. Im actually pickimg the one of the top two to win it, but not both the top two in the title game.

I wouldn't be surprised if Creighton doesn't make it past Saturday.

I wouldn't be surprised if Creighton doesn't make it past Saturday.

Wouldnt surprise me either. Think it depends on which Creighton team decides to show up in St. Louis...the team that can shoot lights out, thus (mostly) making up for their crappy defense, or the team who has been showing up lately. I think either Evansville or Missouri St is very capable of beating CU. Though Id give EU more of an edge since MSU has been playing terribly...I also really dislike Kyle Weems....

[SubGod22]

I wouldn't completely put it passed them to lose to Drake. Simons and Rice can be a handful. Especially for a team allergic to defense.

As the season progresses, Gasaway looks more and more like a genius with his consistent high ranking of Wichita State.

Lunardi is a tool. End of story.

#22 FSU beats #24 (AP) Virginia, 63-60 on a buzzer-beater three.

I really think FSU's issue is that they are just a lazy team. But damn ... if they get the last shot, they'll hit a three on anyone.

Lunardi is a tool. End of story.

Does he still have 3 Pac 12 teams in the dance. If so, this just continues to prove his foolishness.

Last I checked yes, so he's a BCS-loving tool.
