Who gives a crap about rankings, just go beat Uconn. The only rankings that matter are in March.

It’s fun to see as a fan though sometimes as a little respect for the home team. But yes, hard to maintain and can distract focus.
How many of us choosing to go to work tired af tomorrow? Alarm goes off for me at 5am but if the game is close I wont sleep anyhow
That’s my issue, I love night games, but I’ll be too wired to sleep. Then I’ll be dog **** tomorrow.
I'm not sure if the team really lets it distract them but it definitely ruins fans.
They got to #8 last season and people forgot how limited they were as they got to B12 play and faced similar teams with better athletes.
My alarm goes off at 8:55 so I have time to piss and get the coffee before I get back in bed with my laptop. So basically party time.
More than likely, the game will conclude after sports writers have submitted their ballots for the week.
HIt tape of sorts while we wait. March 16, 2012. ISU 77, UConn 63. White, Christopherson, Ejim, Booker, Allen, McGee, Babb, Palo. Royce dunked on Andre Drummond for the 1st basket of the game.
This was the game where Cyclone basketball was officially back on the national stage.
Loved all of the panic TO’s by Calhoun that game. Pleasing.
They didn't show the failed windmill by Lamb at the end of the game. It was the Chef's kiss on top of a perfect game.
they put us right next to UNC for sure. Then it’s a battle of how low they can stomach dropping their favorite team and how high they can stomach seeing ISU.
This is the reason I choose to be dog **** every day
I think this will be the biggest test yet. UCONN is better than UNC at this point in the season so far, so hope the boys are up to the test. Maybe we'll see someone else get hot besides Grill and Gabe today, maybe Holmes just starts drilling shots, since I bet UCONN watched film and will be blanketing Grill.
The only reason they will even rank us is to avoid dropping UNC too much. They reluctantly have to put us in but it will be 20-something (Fluke Win! Fluke Win!) or something. I get it, we returned little from the Sixteen team. With an entirely new team and no standout star we will be in "prove it" mode every game. I agree with poster who noted votes will likely be in before this game today is done, it'll be well after midnight on the east coast, so maybe no impact from UConn game from a lot of voters.
