      Haven't paid attention to Seth the past couole of weeks. Surprised to see us at #15..
      That's just comical. His Power 5 bias pushes Gonzaga down, Kansas, ND, and especially Oklahoma (!) and Baylor up -- does he love the Big 12 or what? -- and then kicks in to hold UNI and WSU in place. He's obviously spending more time checking out swimsuit models than he is seriously evaluating teams.

        • Tweets have us at #13 this week and UNI #11. No link yet. Guessing Louisville lodged in between us.

          Edit: yep, Shocks check in at 13, just twenty votes behind Louisville and one hundred one votes ahead of Iowa State.

          WSU's vote total increased from 743 last week to 862 this week., an average bump of ~1.9 spots per voter.

            Correct, according to UNI board...

              • This week's breakdown of who voted us where.

                Highest - #9 (Scott Mansch)

                Lowest - #19 (Doug Haller)

                Most Common - #12 (23 voters)


                Doug Haller moved us down from #17 to #19 this week following a home win vs. Indiana State and a road win @ Illinois State. Fire up the Twitter comments and educate this Arizonan, Shocker fans.

                  • On the lol we've been there and feel your pain scene, Ron Morris is UNI's lowest voter. By 6 spots. He has UNI at #21 and the next lowest is, among others, Tom Keegan at #15.

                        just to note: petro ranked us higher than most for the majority of the season, consistently ahead of KU, until we stubbed our toe at UNI. dropped from #10 to #16 and has stayed there since. Looks like it will take a bigger nudge than a win a illinois state to bump us back up
                        Dominance is a state of mind.

                        • I want the Shocks to finish in the top 10 badly. Tenth place is probably the best they can finish in the rankings.

                          Best case.

                          1. Shocks win out. UNI loses to the Shocks on February 28.
                          2. Two of these teams lose at least one game - Utah, Notre Dame, Louisville.

                          Utah's schedule (selected games):
                          @Oregon State 15-9
                          @Oregon 17-8
                          AZ State 13-12
                          AZ 22-3
                          @Wash 14-11

                          Notre Dame's schedule (selected games):
                          Syracuse 16-9
                          @Louisville 20-5
                          Clemson 15-10

                          Louisville's schedule (selected games):
                          @Syracuse 16-9
                          @Florida State 14-12
                          Notre Dame 22-4
                          Virginia 23-1

                          What is the probility of success?

                          Have I run off into the ditch again?

                          • I think Louisville will lose 2 or 3 of those games...

                              IMO the likelihood the Shockers return to a Top Ten Ranking this year is problematic. If the following games occur, the Shockers could achieve a Top Ten Ranking:
                              1. Shockers win all remaining games
                              2. Utah loses to Arizona on February 28
                              3. Notre Dame loses to Louisville on March 4
                              4. Louisville loses to Virginia on March 7

                              If those games should unfold then the Shockers could be ranked #10 and capture a 3 seed in the Big Dance.

                              • Is 11 the highest UNI has ever been? I'm assuming so. They are living glory days they will remember for a long time, just like what we've gone through lately.

                                What a breath of fresh air to have a team this good in the MVC. I'm just really proud of them at this point. I did not expect them to be a two loss team leading up to the last week or so of basketball. They are doing the MVC proud in a way that you can't really even ask for. I am happy about top 100 teams and the top 50 is about all you can ever really ask for. They are doing something special by any standards. It's time to take notice and give out some high-fives.
