    Truth be told, Villanova could beat, let's say, UNC twenty times in a row. And UNC still might be the 2nd best team in the country.

    I enjoy the attention our program gets these days. Personally, and for what it's worth (I concede not much at all) I don't think we should be ranked in the top 25 nor do I really think we are a top 25 team right now.
    The team that played Saturday is a Top 15 team. That team needs to show up consistently for us to really move up though. A few more blowouts and it should start to get noticed.

      What do you mean by this? People can select their top 25 using 10,000 different methods.

      Do you think 25+ teams would have beat us on Saturday? Do you just think our body of work isn't one of the 25 best in the country? Do you think we haven't shown ourselves to be consistent enough to warrant being one of the 25 best teams in the country? etc.

      • As of today, WSU is ranked #17, and one of only 10 teams ranked top 25 in both AdjO and AdjD -- one of whom is NOT Kansas, interestingly enough. How much influence do metrics have on the poll voters? We'll see.

        Personally, I wouldn't mind seeing WSU stay under the radar, get into the tournament, do some damage, and once again get the same kind of, "How did anyone overlook these guys?" attention and accolades they've enjoyed in recent years.

        • I'm not sure we are a top 25 team right now.

          Would be nice if we were in a conference where we could play a top 25 team or 2 after January 1st...

          We would have beaten a lot of top 25 teams on Saturday. I'm not sure we would have on Wednesday.

            NINE of them are Kansas? I suspect foul play.

                    To an unranked team ... that just barely held off ISUb
                    Its a good landing if you can walk away, its a great landing if the plane can be reused the next day.

                              Yes and no. Being ranked shows respect. It would be even harder for them to leave out a ranked team and is also ranked extremely high in every analytical ranking.

                                Also .. pretty big gap between 25 and 26.
