Gonna have to learn 'em. This is one of the lower rankings I've seen, from either individuals, groups, or metrics.

That does seem low for us, but we have a lot to prove. Loyola also seems low. They aren’t predicting any real clunkers in the conference, which would be good for overall conference RPI, but I’m not convinced that Drake and especially Evansville won’t be terrible this year.

I had to laugh when I saw Wichita State down at 99.

I surprised Indiana St is ahead of us. But whatever, just prove em wrong.

Being swept by the Sycamores last season has to rank as one of the low points in Coach Jake's tenure.

That poll is worthless seeing as they think a final four team with their core back, preseason ranked 26th, AND Illinois state is ranked higher in the 50s. Dumb imo.

Hmmm. I’m not sure 26th is so bad.
1. Loyola loses Richardson.
2. Their path to the FF was quite a bit easier than most.
3. They won most of their tournament games by a very narrow margin.

26th is what, a 7-seed?

No, they're saying that CBS ranking Loyola at 63 is absurd, which I agree. 26 is the AP Poll ranking.

Oh. Well. That’s very different. Never mind.
