Kudos to coach Jones and staff. We have had some great teams at ODU and none of them could crack the Top 25. Very well deserved. These coaches have proven many,many people wrong. We are very lucky to have them. All I can say is WOW!

I have been saying the same thing. HaHa

I don't know that I've ever seen us get this much press at once. This is fantastic!

Really great pub! If Lunardi keeps this up I might take back ONE of the bad things I have said about him over the years.

Yes!

I haven't done any work in the past hour. I'm going to fall so far behind, but dammit I don't care! lol.

Just looking at this week's schedule of the teams ahead of us, and they have a lot of tough games. If we can win two this week, we can move up considerably.

NOW....To stay in the top 25 and keep moving up.

R8R you are an esteemed leader of Monarch Nation. Thanks for all of your great work!

ABSOEFFINGLUTELY OUTSTANDING!

I just watched Lunardi's discussion on ODU and OSU. I am really starting to like that guy!

I expect season tickets at the Ted to be sold out next year and attendance rising every game this year! So proud of this team and coach!

I am so proud today! My Monarch Pride is showing! It's been forever we've tried to get ranked and today is the day! I can't stop smiling. To go to ESPN and see #25 next to our ODU name is incredible. I have goose bumps. Now, the team has got to step up and win, win, win. No big heads, no expecting teams to bow down, etc. I believe Coach Jones will keep them grounded and they come out to play on Thursday and Saturday. At least, I hope so. Go Monarchs! Onward and upward to higher heights!

I wonder how this will affect scheduling for next year. Would be nice to get some blue chippers like Duke and Kentucky at the Ted.

Hard to believe this team is better than the '10-'11 team. I guess we'll see. The '10-'11 team did hit a rough patch in December and January that included almost losing at home to a Towson team on a record losing streak.

This team is deep in coaching as well as players. Congratulations to both.

Good point, have to stay hungry.

Love the tweet I saw from Deion Clark. Something like, I have been on the lowest rated ODU team ever and the highest rated!

Win the next two and that reception the team will get as they take the floor against Rice will be one of the best moments in ODU basketball history.
