If that happens, we could be watching a top 10 showdown Thursday night on ESPN after watching the football team (unfortunately I can't attend either in person with work).
Agreed New Mexico will be the toughest of our OOC schedule, but we can't look past any of the three games before hand, Marshall and Xavier will always be tough, and sometimes you never know what you're gonna get with Wright State (probably not much). But if we aren't focused for any of those games we could leave with an embarrassing loss.

You were spot on! I am ok with this ranking as well. I think all the cats need to be focused on is the Marshall game because that will be a great road test. I am not worried about them not being prepared because the players and coaches have to have the loss to them last year in their minds. I am getting more and more excited for the match up against New Mexico! What a get for Cronin to schedule them and its looking like a premier show down with them.

No doubt. We certainly need to show up against Xavier and Marshall. Interesting this game is not being played at Marshall. The game is actually being played in Charleston about an hour away. Couple that with Marshall's slow start, hopefully the crowd won't be too much of a home court advantage. This is a dangerous team if they get going. And as for looking ahead, I realize it's never a good idea; hence the assume comment. But as a fan, I don't have to concentrate on the next game and I can get excited for games in two weeks or in March. And this is the type of team that on December 10th you are already hoping you can set up some road trips in March.

Illinois really deserves to leap frog us (and some other teams). Their Brandon Paul is for real.

If we go thru OOC undefeated I bet we're around #6. 3 is pushing it.

Agree. A big part of how close to top 5 we get are the teams in front of us and what they do.

Absolutely not. Uc will be top 3. Top 5 at worst

UC will not be in the Top 3 by beating Marshall, XU, Wright State, and New Mexico. Anyone who thinks so either knows very little about college basketball or has his head so far up MC's rectum that his judgement is clouded (or browned).
