LOL... If you're going to come by and rain on the parade, at least use something else besides Sagarin rating after 3 freaking games or just come by to remind us that you still hate Tinkle. It's ok. Sagarin: Nebraska #1 San Francisco #14 Kentucky #39 Oregon #55 Villanova #101 LOLOLOLOL Funny, if OSU was rated in the top 20 of any rating scheme people would be sure to point it out. Seems that's all that was being done. Don't think anyone can argue that ODU isn't anything but in the lowest tier of Pac12 schools. Didn't feel a "drop" from that post. Mountain/ant hill... If - in your hypothetical - the Beavs were top 20 in the mighty Sagarin ratings after 3 games and someone was banging that drum, you, me and others would join together to point out how absolutely ridiculous that is.

Love the optimism. ODU's Sagarin rating puts them at the equivalent of 9th in the Pac-12, just ahead of us in the 10th spot. So it appears at this stage we will be competitive for the 9th spot. We will need to step it up if we want to have a winning season and compete for an NIT spot. In Ken Pom's rankings we are 8th in the Pac-12, a millimeter ahead of Colorado. Those rankings are updated within an hour or so after a game is complete. I don't know if there are more Pac-12 games tonight. The surprise for me is that the school from Eugene is ranked about six points above the #2 school, UCLA (bunched with ASU and Washington). As a side note, in those rankings OSU is 76, Missouri is #81, Penn #124, and Kansas State is #24

Maybe... and I'm sure on here people would. But, you're missing the point, the original post wasn't "banging that drum". There was no disparaging context used or implied unless you're intent was to create it. Not even sure the "Love the optimism" was sarcastic, just a simple observation. And, I'm pretty sure everyone here would agree, "We will need to step it up if we want to have a winning season and compete for an NIT spot." Again... I was just stating that I did not read any ill will into the original post. And, I'm as hard on WT as anyone here.

I'm happy we are 3-0. Gutsy win when we didn't play all that good, huge travel etc. These are some of those swing games we lost last year. In a long season these games make a difference winning 16 games or the 20 threshold. You don't have to win pretty you just need to win.

I wasn’t able to hear or see the game, curious if it was just bad shooting, tough d, or we reverted back to one on one ball with poor shot selection. Noticed our assist numbers were down (11 I believe).

The only time Sargin matters is when a loser is trying to justify a loss. 3-0. the ONLY stat we care about. we can all start pissing and moaning about everything else when we lose. until then... 3-0. Just enjoy it. This is the type of game we lost last year.
