Big opportunity Wed against #25. And I know this goes against popular belief, but I dont hate Xavier being top 20. This game is going to be enormous next week and will be an absolute must win. especially after the last couple of years. Also love seeing Iowa St top 5!
I'm pleasantly surprised. I thought since our margin of victory had sunk we would stay where we were previously or move up slightly. Great job Mick and team!
Huge opportunity for 3 top 25 match ups and hopefully at least a couple of top 25 wins to round out the Bearcats' tourney resume. Need to utilize our depth and our bigs as much as possible.
Looking forward to the measuring stick these games will provide.
Job one for the 'Cats is Butler and I'm glad they'll come into town ranked. After that, Iowa State becomes the big prize in my mind. X @ X is a tall order. Not mission impossible but we've all seen how the ball bounces over there. And of course they'll be swishing three's from half court that night.
We need to live in the moment (until tipoff Wednesday) and enjoy the recognition our team has earned. Go Bearcats!
He hasn't made it to the library yet to check the internet.
Duane is going to beat the piss out of Doug Haller.
Duane demands we humiliate THE College of Norwood.
He's preparing to inflict some Jean Claude Van Duane-age.

Very interesting scatter when it comes to Xavier's rankings (#12 in one, #18 in the other)
First installment of the Bilas Index is out today. Presumably he took last night's loss to Butler into account. A few teams of note:
8. XU
15. WVU
17. UC
20. Iowa St
21. UL
22. UCONN
22/23. SMU
26. Butler
