I would love to see the cats end up at a 3 or 4 seed, keeps us from playing a 1 or 2 until the sweet 16 at least, and make our match ups before then a lot more favorable.
 
Curious if we'll stay in the polls. I would've thought no, but Seth Davis actually moved us up to 16 - oddly enough ahead of Butler - on his ballot.

Not far enough to erase a loss at Indiana State from my memory. Please try to keep up.

@Crossroads_PU: @SethDavisHoops How do you put Cincinnati over Butler after Dawgs beat them yesterday? How far has your IQ dropped?

He knows we got whistled. Heck they even banked in 2 3 pointers. I have know doubt on a neutral floor we beat that team.

Idk how a Top 25 voter could use that logic. But if we're still in, I'll take it. 7-2 with no bad losses when we were right there in the preseason polls. Tons of programs get the benefit of the doubt with a resume like that.

That doesn't really answer why we would move up. But whatever.

I wouldn't move us up, but I think it'd be fair to keep us where we were. Losing to #16 in their building when it was within single digits nearly all game isn't just a standard "loss".

We should win the next 3, ending up at 10-2 as we enter conference play. We still have the opportunity to be a Top 25 team the rest of the year. If we're able to beat Xavier, I'll be fine with going 2-2 in a neutral Rhode Island game, @ Iowa St, @ Butler, and vs. Xavier.

Yeah I agree. I was saying right after the loss that we should still be ranked. Up to #16 just seems extreme. Who knows where he had us last week though so maybe it was just a spot or 2 on his ballot.

Another variable may be how the teams ahead of us did as well.
