big jump by Indiana...glad to see us getting some respect and still moving up a few spots after the blowout of PSU and the tough road loss in Assembly Hall.

What sucks is that if we could of pulled that game out that would be us.

It is all good tho, b/c the real games matter come march and april.

Well hopefully we can string some wins together and start climbing back up.

it was a close enough game that we didn't drop too much.

how far do we move up the polls after beating wisky?

Depending on what happens in front of us and what we do at Penn State on Saturday, I could see us moving up to around 16-17 range.

Still gotta play Penn State...and I'd think other teams would have to lose ahead of us for us to make a big jump...probably one or two spots. We are still 1-2 against top 15 teams...so I wouldn't expect to get much higher than that if teams lose.

You would think that the bucks would jump past Wisconsin...or Wisconsin falls past the bucks?

On the other hand, we have played 3 top 15 teams. Thats tough no matter how you slice it. There were 2 losses ahead of us, going into tonight (Thurs.) so it may open up some spots. If we beat PSU, Saturday, the way we did Purdue, we will be in good shape for a possible top 15-16 position.

Hey, good call 44820. Five votes and we're up another Twenty-eight and we're up another yet!

Within the next week or so, George Washington visits Xavier, West Virginia has St John's and a game at Cincinnatti, Pittsburgh has Syracuse and a game at UConn.

Guys, just keep winning
