Good. Rankings don't matter and they don't get you a bid. Keep playing. Keep winning. Take care of business at home against Butler and we are that much closer.

If we beat Butler, and SJU, and either Prov or X we get ranked for sure.

About right as far as I am concerned. I noted 26-30 yesterday. We are not a top 25 team yet. Still a little more to prove.

This will keep the team motivated. Although I wonder if they actually need anything more to motivate themselves.

I actually think they are top-25 worthy, but I'm good with them not being ranked. Hungry and humble is the right mindset for this team to adopt.

Nova needs to do something of real significance in the NCAAs this year. Hard to see them as a National Championship contender, but given how wide open the field appears to be this year, nothing is out of the question.

My take...Willard is thrilled with this ranking. Probably wanted it to be lower (for now).

Always easier to coach a team with a chip on their shoulders.

I don't think they need much motivation, but I do worry about the 7 days between the next 2 games. I believe not being ranked will keep some media away as well keep a focus away on Georgetown and not rankings at least until Monday and I assume we will be in DC on Tuesday

Every time we get ranked, we lose...lets keep winning and forget the ranking.

Sounds right to me with KenPom at #30 and RPI at #35.

The college hoops polls are like the mob: It's hard to get in, and it's hard to get out.

We haven't been mentally tough enough to deal with life as a ranked team in years past. Another Ghostbuster scenario for this group because if you want to be someone you have to embrace being ranked. It's a good thing.

Close but no cigar unless your in a horseshoe tournament.
