^ I don't think we did a better job of defending the three. Villanova was just missing some wide open shots.

why the hell are we not ranked in this weeks poll???

11/26/2007 1:22:02 PM

where are you looking at the polls

11/26/2007 1:27:44 PM

now thats some bullshit.....

11/26/2007 1:35:14 PM

haha, Villanova only dropped like 1 spot and we barely got any more votes. Maybe most of the voters are just disregarding the game b/c the officiating sucked ass on both sides.

11/26/2007 1:37:50 PM

Not really surprised that we're not ranked, since we still haven't look that good yet


More surprised that a Villanova team we beat is 12 spots ahead of us in one poll and 6 spots ahead in the other


Lots of lazy voters had already completed their votes before the game last night, it would appear.

11/26/2007 1:38:38 PM

that faggot Gottlieb is still harping on our Win last night:

Quote :

"There is no vemon or vitriol in saying that NC State was given the Old Spice title game by a last-second foul call in Orlando on Sunday. The fact is that in what seemed like a great finish to a well-played game, longtime official Jim Burr was in perfect position to call a foul and he did not. Instead, the official on the baseline anticipated the foul and frankly, he blew it. While it is absolutely fair to say the call was wrong, it is also fair to say that officials need time to round into mid-season form. The more hoops I watch, the more it seems like positioning and anticipating a call lead to bad calls far more than malice. "

11/26/2007 1:38:48 PM

At this point I'd rather not be ranked, but it is bullshit how Villanova only dropped one spot.

11/26/2007 1:41:27 PM

hey im all for teams staying ranked that we beat in the long run.

11/26/2007 1:42:50 PM

why would you hope that a team we beat drop from the rankings? do you not realize it helps our SOS tremendously if the teams we defeat have excellent seasons afterwards?

^ Finally, someone w/ a brain.

Good points, not saying I want Villanova to drop, just saying that voters who ranked them ahead of us voted before the game last night.

Wins vs top 25 teams are like gold on Selection day.

11/26/2007 1:45:19 PM

we gain absolutely nothing by being ranked aside from a target and a feeling of accomplishment that's frankly undeserved

we lost to UNO. we've got quite a few games to win before anyone should pay us any serious attention

11/26/2007 1:47:57 PM

If you think it isn't retarded then you're deluded, even if it is good for us.

How is Ohio State getting more votes than us in the AP after getting raped?

bro, we're NC State.

No one thinks we're any good except us. And most of "us" are delusional. You haven't been a State fan long enough if you aren't expecting to be smitten upon.

11/26/2007 1:50:10 PM

B/c the AP is retarded and half the numbnuts probably think they are voting on football.

But they did give New Orleans 1 vote!

I'm surprised at some of the 4-1 teams in the top 10 of the AP. Indiana(#8) with a 15 pt loss to Xavier, Louisville(#6) with a close loss to BYU.

11/26/2007 2:02:00 PM

the AP poll hasn't refreshed yet...they have updated the records of the teams, but not the rankings

i accept that we'll be ranked if we win games

and i want us to win games

but, as is often the case, we shit all over ourselves when we're in the top 25

that's what i'd like to avoid, not winning games

If we can upset the MSU eminems at East Lansing, we won't have to worry about being ranked.

I'm sure that what people mean is they like the way we seem to play when we are unranked, and the way we seem to be overlooked by opponents versus when we are ranked. It's obviously much better to be ranked all year.

11/26/2007 3:44:40 PM

i can't believe the AP has K-State ranked above Villanova. Villanova made it to the championship game......K-state didnt. Nova beat G-Mason......K-State didn't.

i guess you missed the point that being ranked never sucks. ever. if we play like shit when we're ranked, then the solution is to play well when we're ranked, not to avoid being ranked.

why the fuck would you ever not want to be ranked

i dont give a shit what time of season it is
