Box and Won Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 This is absolutely great news for the program. Just need to make sure to take care of business at LMU tomorrow. More encouraging is that we have depth on this team for years forward, as we are only losing BC and KC after this season! Hopefully we can see multiple years of being in the Top 25 and deep NCAA runs! I wish BC would have run the train with those other guys. It would be nice to have him back next year!

I have a feeling that if BC had been the conductor with Kyle and Cody along for the ride it wouldn't have been such an issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STLfan Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Best part of being ranked is going to be all of the extra attention and time on ESPN. When they show the highlights from the top 25 on sportscenter the Bills will be shown no matter who our opponent is and when anyone goes to ESPN to check scores the Top 25 always pop up first. This publicity (especially if we make it last) will be great for the basketball program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kwyjibo Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Congrats to the Bills! Can we get a rematch with Carleton now? Would like to see how we stack up with the Duke of Canada. We owe those guys. Carleton is undefeated in their regular season 6-0 but luckily they are ineligible for the USA polls or we would be 24 in the AP and not even ranked in the UPI (we are 25th in the UPI).

Cowboy Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 -i thought john feinstein now worked for the golf channel?? or is this a different person? season on the brink was many years ago -i like to think i am more than a casual college bball fan, but many of those names are foreign to me, time for some google searching -and there is carleton, they voted us 23, they must have seen it (although with the exchange rate they voted us 22.24) -btw carleton another lost item for the new folks along with all things fordham (but i suspect many of the newbies moved from lurker to poster) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
