Louisiana Tech men are now ranked 28 in latest AP Poll
Might be over-rated a little based on competition and close wins, but they keep on winning. We'll see. Two tough road games to finish the season.

3 of those last 4 are tough, with 2 of them on the road. Just keep winning.

Looking at their schedule, they lost to not 1, but 2 Southland schools? Screams pretender that is just beating up on a garbage conference.

I don't care if you are playing against junior high schools, 15 straight wins is something to be proud of. This is a team entirely capable of upsetting someone in the NCAA Tournament. They probably don't make it in if they lose their conference tournament, though.

Ranked #28 in the Top 25? That doesn't seem plausible....

They beat USM. Now how did that powerhouse Houston team do against USM?

I get frustrated with fans taking winning streaks for granted.....almost as frustrated as I do with people referring to conferences as "garbage", no matter what conference it is.
We've had pretty good success in basketball and through all of the decades, we've only had 7 win streaks of 15 or more. I don't care who you are, who your coach is, or what conference you're in; winning streaks of that number are tough to do.

Nearly all of our best players are FR and SO's so we should be getting better in the next 2 years anyway. This year is more of a pleasant surprise than anything. Fun team to watch!

Congrats on your season. Like Tech, USM wasn't expecting much this year. Lost 4 starters and had a new coach. Like you said, this has been a pleasant surprise of a season for Eagle fans also. Good luck the rest of the year.

RE: Louisiana Tech men are now ranked 28 in latest AP Poll
I do think we are ranked a little high just because our SOS is pretty weak. But I think we are still a tournament worthy team if we lose in the semis or finals of the WAC tournament. Win the WAC tournament and you won't have to worry about it is my personal suggestion to the Dunkin' Dawgs.
