As I have plenty of spare time............Speaking of Power Ratings...........Although I think they are a pretty good team I also think they are the most overrated team in Div. 1...... Murray State...They have a habit the past few years of scheduling 2 or 3 top 100 teams in the begining of the year and then playing a bunch of patsies. Take a look a their Schedule. It is filled with teams that have RPI in the 200 and 300 range...Being the only team around that area of Kentucky they gather more votes then a small school located in a large metro are where the votes are more distributed and likely to go to larger schools. Although they are higher rated then us, and there is little chance of a meetiing, I have seen them play a few times and a game on a neutral court would expose them.
I feel feisty today.......

Hard to believe we got votes in a poll after losing to Manhattan at home. John Feinstein put us at 24--there's the 2 points.

Feinstein is a pretty good author. The only explanation I can have for this is he writes for the Washington post and he knows Iona blew out Maryland (who is now 12-4) and he saw we just beat Loyola Md in a battle for first by double digits.

anyone remember the last time we got Top 25 votes? i don't think it has happened since the 97-98 season although i could be wrong? we might've gotten some votes in the preseason Top 25 in 98-99 but can't remember anything more recent than that?
