Re: AP poll

Pittsburgh lost to unranked Providence and Georgia Tech lost to unranked BC, hopefully those help us stay in the top 25.

Re: AP poll

I see the ESPN poll is out and we dropped to #23. I was suprised that we were still ranked. It just goes to show that the word is getting out. Now we just need to string some more victories together.

The 3 no votes were voters who have been replaced (they aren't voting anymore). Week 9 has us getting votes between 15 and 24 (majority of the votes are in the 21-23 range).

Looks like Jacks#1Fan beat me to this info.

Just so we are all on the same page, I believe this is Week 9 (preseason was Week 1) when you go to Pollspeak. All 45 voters in the poll listed South Dakota State University on their top 25!!!!!!!! (There were three earlier voters, who were replaced.) You can always tell you have the latest week's vote, by using the top number available on the "week" choice. And I am happy that both John Riehl (whom I e-mailed about keeping Wisconsin on, and us off) and Deb Antonelli (and all the others) have realized who the real SDSU is!!! Now, c'mon Jacks, you need to go get tonight's game!

Re: AP poll

It will be interesting to watch the polls next week. San Diego State (The other SDSU) beat #4 Texas tonight 60-55 http://sports.espn.go.com/ncw/recap?gameId=283650021
If voters want to vote for SDSU or SD State there could be some confusion.

Also, #6 Notre Dame barely beat #19 Vanderbilt 59-57 http://sports.espn.go.com/ncw/recap?gameId=283650238

Vanderbilt led most of the game. It will be interesting to watch if AP voters see a loss as a loss and Vanderbilt drops out of the top 25 or if playing Notre Dame to the buzzer will give them more support in the poll.

The San Diego State win hurts in a way. I reported on another post that Deb Antonelli (Westwood One WBB analyst) had San Diego on her top 25, and I questioned whether she meant to vote for South Dakota State (the real SDSU!). But I think for the most part, the loss means more in moving Texas a few spots, than bolstering other voters to put San Diego (8-3) in the top 25. Likewise, I think Vandy will hold on ahead of us, but Notre Dame might move down a notch or two (depending on outcomes of other games between now and next Monday).

Re: AP poll

If the NCAA tournament started today, I think the Jacks might be able to get into the Sweet 16--and after you do that, almost anything can happen. But the tournament starts two and a half months from now and there's no guarantee that the Rabbits will be a part of it. Two and a half months is a looooong time in a basketball season.

But you gotta BELIEVE!

I like it! Let's quiet the seeding and how far we'll go in the tournament talk. Let's enjoy seeing the women's team running the table in the Summit League in the coming weeks!

Re: AP poll

My point earlier about the "jinxing" was based in part on similar discussion on this board last year at about this same time who had us in the WNIT championship game only to have us lose in the first round, at home, to Creighton. Its ok to dream but setting an unrealistic expectation of the final four could lead to an unwarranted dissappointment.

I'm much more worried about our women losing their overall edge playing in a relatively weak Summit League than I am in any jinx.

So, I hope Oakland, NDSU, Oral Roberts, and the rest of the league push the Jacks hard enough throughout the season that they're actually ready for the level they'll have to play at should they be fortunate enough to get an NCAA berth. In short, I want the Rabbits to get everybody's absolute best shot from here on out. If they're good enough, they'll respond well to the pressure in-conference.
