So we will be # 2 tomorrow. AND… Hopefully on Tuesday as well!

Purdue still has a better record at 23-3. Wouldn’t be shocked to see them still ranked at #2.

It is when and who you lose to. They will get hit for losing to an Ohio state that just fired their coach. I would not be shocked to see them drop to 4 or 5 for that.
With that said, I expect UConn to be #1 and #2 tomorrow.

Perhaps we should delay this conversation until after the ISU game. If we lose, the talk about #2 is a moot point. If we win, #2 is a valid point.

I get that but the general perception was that there was a 1a and 1b between Purdue and UConn. Then a decent drop off to us at 3 and a huge drop off to 4 and beyond. It’ll be close one way or another between us and Purdue for 2nd in the voting. In my mind this just clears up the 1a and 1b buisness and establishes a clear 1 and 2 with UConn and Purdue. Zero chance they drop to 4 or 5 though.

I would be extremely shocked. They’re 15-3 in Q1/Q2. I think they have 5 or more wins over currently ranked teams right now. They’ll either stay 2 or drop to 3. We lost to a Q3 temple team at home last year and dropped 2. Purdue had a bad game, still a very elite 1 seed.
Wanna bet ??? If UH beats Iowa St
The rankings come out before the game. And bet on what? Lol

That was half humor to make room for UConn to be 1 and 2. I think uconn will be unanimous #1. That alone drops Purdue 16 points in the AP to 1464 which is 80 points ahead of us. With Marquette losing BIG we should pick up votes where they were 3. I think it is enough to move us to #2.

Purdue bores me but I’ve made a point to watch them recently and noticed a trend that they get very favorable calls.
These are all the games they would’ve lost if not for HUGE ft advantages.
Beat X by 12. Plus 15 at line.
Beat Tennessee by 4. Plus 18 at line.
Beat Bama by 6. Plus 14 at line.
Beat Rutgers by 8. Plus 12 at line.
Beat NW by 9 in OT. Plus THIRTY EIGHT at line.
Also lost on floor to Marquette and Badgers but won at line to win by 3 and 6.

This is very interesting. I wonder if it stays that way in the tournament. I’ve noticed that Kansas is often given pretty favorable calls as well.
Writers like B1G so most likely Purdue drops one spot. The metrics show it as a Q1 loss as Ohio State is ranked 72 in net and Q1 away games is 1-75.
Purdue has been favored by the refs in the Edey years but it seems like its gotten much worse this season vs last
Good thing refs tend to swallow whistles come March though
