Pittsburgh coach Kevin Stallings made a reference to the Louisville pay-for-play scandal in a response to fans during Tuesday night's 77-51 loss to the Cardinals.

Stallings turned to fans at Louisville's KFC Yum! Center and said, "At least we didn't pay our guys $100,000" and "We didn't pay our guys 100 grand, though," according to a recording provided by WHAS reporter Whitney Harding.

Doesn’t really help yet, but it’s a step towards helping. Miss state is in a gauntlet of a conference so they will get plenty of opportunity to make this a good win but this is their first real win of the year. We need them to do it more and become a top 50 team

Even though we do not think highly of the pac 12 some voters do. UCLA should help if they keep winning.

As long as they finish top 75 they will be a column 2 win. I don't see them getting to top 30. Top 50 is not a cutoff for home games for the committee anymore. Will it help if they are top 50 compared to top 75? Maybe just a little but not much.

I know it seems like a stretch, but its certainly not out of the possibility for Miss state to become a top 30 team. They have only 1 good win at the moment, but if they just hold steady at home in the SEC, they'd pick up 8 top 75 wins and lucky for them, A&M, Florida nor kentucky come to their gym to steal a win from them. If they just hold steady at home, and steal 2 road wins, they could easily be a tourney team and at worst, right outside the top 30

I would settle for tourney team right now...but top 30 would be a bonus. One of the categories the committee looks at is record against teams in the tourney and even those that were considered.
