I KNOW, I KNOW- LUCONN hates that title.

anyway- Winthrops guys reporting we actually got votes this time around, sixteen (16) to be exact. Thats a HUGE improvement, considering we were what, 313 th last year?

When I find the link I'll post it. thanks for your patience

that makes us what, 51st in mid-majors?

props to WU for 6th, BTW

[PAmedic]

[Hold My Own]

no kidding thats an improvement...I'll take that any day of the week

[LUconn]

I don't mind mid-major, it's a legitimate term. It's low-major that is not a word.

If the shoe fits! Heck, if Medic was an officer in the Army he'd be considered a Low Major.

[WWJFD]

Also noticed future non conference opponents Oral Roberts and Buffalo are on the list. The Buffalo game should be a good one with Brew

[LU'sbestmanager]

and oral roberts. sat. is the last game that we play without dwight

[WWJFD]

I have been counting the days. I saw him play in person when he was at Providence. It was when PC had Gomes and McGrath. Gomes played so lazy that night. I am surprised he has made the NBA. Besides McGrath getting lucky on 3's that night, I thought Brew played the best for PC all around that night. Liberty is so fortunate to have him and TJ to watch over the next two years. I only hope Brew sticks around for his senior year????

New rankings:

http://www.collegeinsider.com/mmpoll/

LU has 18 points now. Winthrop drops to 8th.

[PAmedic]

wonder why WU dropped.

[Rocketfan]

I am also liking that we get to play a few teams that are currently ranked and some that are getting votes, especially since most of those games are on the road. That is where i think our biggest challenge will be.....

[PAmedic]

found it interesting that Lip-scum is ranked behind us. If only by a vote or 3.

[Realist]

You guys in all likelihood have Gregg Marshall to thank for, for the majority of your votes.

I knew you would love that.

[PAmedic]

we'll try our best to repay his new-found confidence in us by beating the tar outta you guys at least once this year. Preferrably in the BSOUTH tourney

[kel varson]

Thankyou Greg!

[LUconn]

is Marist really any good? They were terrible a few years ago. Is this even a real poll?

[jmdickens]

Marist pg was the country's assist leader last season....they beat us

[LUconn]

that isn't saying much

[WinthropEagleFan]

Marist was picked by alot of publications to win the MAAC this year. They've had a pretty good year so far...they beat a solid ODU team.

As for the mid-major poll, it's as real as any other poll...it's voted on by 'mid-major' coaches and they seem to take it as seriously as they would any other poll (whether that is good or not is up for debate).

[WWJFD]

Appalachian State should make it next week with their win over UVA on Tuesday.

[jmdickens]

how many votes did we get this week??
