AP poll

Re: AP poll

Little respect is being shown to SDSU when Wisconsin, whom SDSU thumped by 20, is receving more votes in the AP then the Lady Jacks. I wonder how many teams in the AP poll have played the quality of teams that SDSU has thus far?

The Jacks win over Wisc was excellent and well help the Jacks RPI. So will the Wisconsin win over #4 ranked Baylor last week. Another of the Jacks victums was Utah which just beat Marquette which was and still is receiving votes as a top 20 pick. ( I think )? Our conference schedule will not help us build RPI / rankings. Clearly we need to win inside of our conference - But some huge upcoming games vs quaility teams such as the Gophers and Gonzaga would do us wonders. First and foremost we need to take care of business this week at home vs Centenary and Oral Roberts. Going to be interesting to see just how much support the lady Jacks get at home? One would think attendance would be excellent.

Re: AP poll

Respect will come after "Cinderella" makes her run.

Until then, we are just Dakota Territory something or other University. A few good runs in the big dance and we will get more attention from the pollsters and from the recruits.

I agree, as we win more games against better opponents, we will start to be recognized. In the defense of some of the voters, who ever heard of SDSU till 4-5 years ago...We need to make our own mark. Don't make excuses or reason why we are not higher in the polls, just go out and get some wins and the rest will come.

, lost a close game to #8 Maryland without our regular starting point guard. Hopefully we will start getting more respect as the season goes on.

Should having a hurt player really be a factor? I would guess no. Because for a few reasons, the biggest reason is that the team is still without her.

Agree with everything else though.

Its NKOTB syndrome. SDSU will get respect as the season rolls on.

Re: AP poll

We will continue to advance higher just based on record. If we are sitting at 12-1 we will be rated even if it is by default. When we finish the year with a record of 25-2 we will be rated around 18, I would bet on it!

We have played enough teams in enough states for them to start moving us up because that just helps there team feel like the were beat by a quality opponent!

Maryland respects us even before playing us their coach commented on this 2 years ago in DC tourney when he saw us play!

Others receiving votes: Florida 47, Gonzaga 36, Old Dominion 36, Iowa St. 31, Kansas St. 29, Wisconsin 28, Boston College 21, Marist 16, S. Dakota St. 12, Georgia Tech 11, Arkansas 9, DePaul 8, New Mexico 8, Marquette 6, Coastal Carolina 4, Michigan 4, Bradley 3, Middle Tennessee 1, Minnesota 1, Utah 1, Wis.-Green Bay 1.

To crack the top 25, we need to knock somebody down above us. The ONLY team we have played that is in that category was Maryland. Jacks didn't win against them on a neutral court.

In bold are teams we are yet to play that could be how we build a strong base of top 50 that have lost to the Jacks. When you see teams with only 1 loss, and know that it was the Jacks that tagged them for the loss, then we'll be right at the cusp of cracking the top 25. But it would help if we beat Gonzaga, and Gophers, and not lose any other games.

The WBB is right there, and I'd love to see them in top 25 voting starting before conference, because once Jacks are playing in conference, everybody else in conference will be below the Jacks in RPI, and they will have no opportunity to advance higher.

Re: AP poll

One of my favorites quotes of all time:

"If you have to tell people you are good, then you aren't that good."

Re: AP poll

This week's votes:

Dave Trimmer has us 22
Steve Tucker has us 24
Vicki Friedman has us 24
Chris Solari has us 25
Chuck Carlton has us 25
Stu Durando has us 25
Tony Bleill has us 25

To be ranked on 7 ballots is a big step from the one ballot we have been ranked on.

Re: AP poll

I may be wrong, but aren't we receiving more votes this week than we did last week?

If so, not bad for a week you go 2-1.

Remember, respect isn't given, it's earned. And usually, the respect you get lags a bit behind the respect you deserve.

We're going the right direction . . .

Re: AP poll

I agree! I think this is crap but lets keep the rabbits a secret for a bit longer! That way March madness is a little more fun!

Re: AP poll

Remember who is doing the voting, AP guys. Just think how many guys there are like Stu out there. Enough said. We know what we have going at SDSU, go ahead and let the rest of the world remain ignorant, advantage us.

Jacks receive 12 votes!!

Looks like Maryland moved up from #10 to #6 with their win over the Jacks, Montana and Illinois.

Also, noticed that Wisconsin is receiving more votes than SDSU at 28???

Wow...I say give us another shot to put a 20 point thumping on them. I guess when you beat a #6 Baylor team, it gets people's attention.

Go Jacks!!

WOW! Wisconsin gets more votes than us? Really? Maybe I'm a little not eve, but I think we should be right on the brink of cracking the top 25. We blew out Wisconson and Utah (both receiving votes), lost a close game to #8 Maryland without our regular starting point guard. Hopefully we will start getting more respect as the season goes on.
