Still hanging in there at 35 as "the latest team to beat in the A10." We're getting some respect. Also 12 seed as AQ, but a 12 seed is getting us close to at large consideration too. Last 4 in in Dayton are twelve seeds right? Could be wrong on that.

Still getting 2 votes in the AP poll... presumably from the same voter as last week

Apparently they are actually from two separate voters at #25
That's actually better, two voters giving us recognition.

Agree. Strange we dropped from #24 to #25 in one persons poll though. Especially after throttling UMass and winning by a large margin on ESPN2 @Henrico.
Hopefully that leaves the possibility of moving up with both if we keep playing well though.

The thing about rankings that's easy to overlook... especially when it's indexed stuff like the NET, is that it isn't really a stable scale, it's relative, and you can get hopscotched, and there can be a lot of clumping of teams with very close ratings that get artificially spread out into what appears to be an even set of ladder rungs.

Yeah, Dave Preston's ballot bumped us down a spot from last week since he had Saint Mary's in at #24. The other AP voter who had us at #25 is David Jablonski, who you all might know from he Dayton Daily News.

I'm sure Kansas as a 1 seed would love to see us as a 12 seed, in the Midwest no less.
