Yep. Played a tougher-than-expected game Sat afternoon against L'ville, flew up to NC (prolly yesterday) and play tonite with 21,500 rooting against us. Pretty taxing stretch.Still our highest ranking was 12th so Top 10 is our goal this week.
Hate the Saturday Monday turn around especially when you have to travel. Might as well get used to it with the conference tournament where you play consecutive days and the dance every other day.Yep.

Yeah, that's what Duke faced last week -- played their archrival UNC on Sat, took a Sunday flight down to Miami, and lost to us on Monday. Good prep though, as you point out.Hate the Saturday Monday turn around especially when you have to travel.

Seth Davis, the human Quagmire.In the AP Poll where we are #15:
**** Vitale voted us #10 this week (a voter named Mike Rodak of Alabama had us highest of any voter at #9).
On the flip side, Seth Davis had us #19 and a writer from New Mexico had us the lowest at #25.
How in the blue **** can someone have us 25?!In the AP Poll where we are #15:

I agree. Here was the voting rundown (position in the poll, and how many voters at each level):How in the blue **** can someone have us 25?!
It's 8 voters that had us 18th, so a total of 62 votes, otherwise that all lines up. All 62 voters had Miami in the top 25, nobody left us off the ballot.I agree. Here was the voting rundown (position in the poll, 6and how many voters at each level):
9th - 1
10th - 6
11th - 5
12th - 7
13th - 4
14th/15th/16th/17th - 6 each
18th - 18
19th - 4
21st - 2
25th - 1
That's a total of 72 votes. I don't know how many voters there are so can't say for certain that some didn't even have us in the Top 25
Thanks for the correction. 8 was indeed the number of voters who had us at #18. Went back and corrected my original post. Good to hear nobody had us lower than #25.It's 8 voters that had us 18th, so a total of 62 votes, otherwise that all lines up. All 62 voters had Miami in the top 25, nobody left us off the ballot.

Looking at the Top 25 poll votes cast by Geoff Grammar of the Albuquerque Journal --the voter who had us at #25 -- six of his 25 votes were +5 or more off from the actual aggregate ranking. In UM's case, he was 10 slots off.
