Collegeinsider Mid-Major Top 25 MBB

[godanesgo99]

Still not ranked. Siena fell off, Stonybrook got 10 points, Quininipiac got 4 points, upcoming opponents Holy Cross and Yale are 24 and 25 respectively

 

Women's out some time today.

With how poorly UA has been playing, I kind of stopped paying attention to this, but I decided to look today. I haven't seen it mentioned, and being out of town I didn't notice until now...

 

NJIT received 25 points in last weeks poll after upsetting #17 Michigan? WOW

[Eli]

Wait. NJIT, the team we DESTROYED until letting up, beat #17 Michigan. As in, UM Wolverines Michigan? Tim Hardaway Jr.'s alma mater Michigan? The Michigan that produced the Fab Five? IN Michigan?

HOW. ON. EARTH?

That's even more impressive than UAlbany getting close to beating UConn or playing tough against Florida. That's a far bigger win than us beating Washington a few years ago.

looking back at the NJIT thread, it looks like it was mentioned. I just didn't put 2 and 2 together.

[godanesgo99]

in the new Poll, NJIT still got 2 points. They are a mediocre team that got hot at the right time vs a major program that took them lightly.

 

Looking ahead, the next match against Yale will be a tough one. They are currently #15 in mid-major poll with 336 points. For comparison sake Holy Cross got 6 points. This will be a real test. I guess we will see if the team that beat Siena shows up, or the team that lost to SFU makes an appearance...

great win for NJIT program but Michigan barely beat CUSE and then proceeded to lose to Eastern Michigan after NJIT and then got housed by 27 against AZ so while they are 6-4...not very impressive..

And, Cuse beat Holy Cross by 24. I saw that Holy Cross team in person. I wouldn't totally discount Michigan.

Still...records aside, you have to remember that Michigan has top flight athletes while NJIT and the likes of us don't...so for a team like that to beat them..even if they are having a down year, is still impressive. That's always our issue in the Dance...we just run out of steam because the UConn's and Florida's of the world are deeper, more athletic, bigger than us.

Albany listed again with others receiving votes ... 2 points this week.

[godanesgo99]

Mens Basketball fell off the rankings again yesterday, but Stony Brook rejoined the rankings at #29 with 33 points. That is what a big win will do for you.

[godanesgo99]

Back on the board with 1 whole point in the poll. This was before last night's win.

 

On a side note, Vermont got 5 points, Stony Brook fell off (again before last night's game)

[godanesgo99]

Back up to 11 points (#40).

Vermont and Stony Brook no where to be seen.

If UA can get convincing win's this week at VT and at home against Maine, it might put UA into the top 25...

[Clickclack]

Just win by hook or by crook.

[jalidanefan]

Just win by hook or by crook.

Brevity being the soul of wit, well said!

[UA'08]

Albany in at 25.
