moytoy12 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 I think so given our play and the losses by some ranked teams. Seems like Norlander thinks so too: http://www.cbssports.com/collegebasketball/eye-on-college-basketball/24405812/saint-louis-off-to-152-start-has-look-of-top25-club Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to see a national guy coming around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quality Is Job 1 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 You would think that SLU will be ranked come Monday, but you never know with the pollsters. They've never really shown SLU much love until it would be embarrassing not to put them in the Top 25. How many other teams receiving votes does SLU have to pass to claim one of the spots likely vacated? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kshoe Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 We may need another loss or two from teams ranked 21-28 but there were a bunch of those earlier this week so we should be in good shape. I'm expecting it on Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joe_davola Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 I think we will be. I was actually surprised we got 19 votes this past week. Once I saw that, I figured these 2 wins and a few top 25 losses would get us in. Like kshoe mentioned, it looks like we got a few top 25 losses to help put us in the top 25.

kshoe Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Here's the coaches top 30 and what they've done so far this week: 21 Mizzou: Lost to Georgia. Playing at Auburn Sat 22 Memphis: Won at Louisville. Playing at Temple Sat. 23 Creighton: Won at Depaul. Host Xavier on Sun. 24 Iowa: Won vs. Northwestern. Playing at Ohio St. on Sunday 25 UCLA: Lost vs. Arizona. Play ASU on Sunday 26 Pitt: Beat Maryland and Wake Forest at home 27 North Carolina: Lost to Miami and Syracuse 28 UConn: Beat Harvard. Host Central Florida today 29 SLU: Won at RI and Dayton 30 Oklahoma: Lost to Kansas at home. Beat Iowa St. at home. 31 Southern Miss: Won at North Texas. Play at Tulsa on Sunday 32 Illinois: Lost at Wisconsin. At Northwestern on Sunday. If logic prevails, we should jump Mizzou, UCLA, UNC, Iowa (if they lose to OSU) and UConn (our wins are more impressive). that should put us at 24 or 25. We'll see. In the AP, I expect Mizzou, Illinois, Gonzaga, K-State (if they lose to KU), and Iowa (if they lose to OSU) to drop out. Cinci, Creighton and maybe Pitt will work their way in there. Again, we should have a good shot at 24 or 25. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slu72 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 UMass wins. They're not going anywhere, maybe up even. I think we sneak in at 24 or 25. Moot point, but if we had taken down WSU we'd likely be in the top 15 at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Franchise_08 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 I didnt think the Bills were playing at a top 25 level, but I am starting to come around. Watching what they do defensively to teams and getting 30-40 points from Jett and Evans, really is a great formula going forward. What happened to McCall lately?

TheA_Bomb Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 I'm not a hater like most of you but I do have a slight concern that only 4 of our wins are over teams above .500. The rest have losing records. That is partially the nature of the non-conference schedule. Hopefully those blood donor teams will go on to do well within their conferences.
