Win tonight and it'll either be Auburn or Gonzaga #1. If they go by resume Auburn is clear #1. If they go by poll inertia, Gonzaga will be 1. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodford 3,660 Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 OP, we have been dreadful for most of the history of the program. I can’t believe we’ve ever been ranked in the top 10 before tbh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUBwins 10,075 Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Yep that was a preseason magazine ranking. We got to 4th in AP that 1 seed year. Either way, we will make history with whatever we are ranked Monday. Never been top 3 and we ain't dropping. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steeleagle 2,945 Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 In 1998-1999 we won our first 17 in a row before losing to UK in RUpp. That is probably the closest we got to #1 actually in the polls. We then lost again to Ark on the road. Is this the year Porter was ruled ineligible towards the end of season or was the next year? And I can see why we have never been #1 ranked. We haven't sustained enough success. Even Ellis mostly would lose 10 games a year or so, except for those 2 great years in the late 90s. And it also has to do when you lose that game or two during the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saminbama 740 Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 We were a #1 Seed in the NCAA Tournament that year and me being JABA, I worried we would be the first #1 to fall to a bottom seed. 🙄 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cole256 17,084 Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 May not have been number 1 but we had a very nice team led by Marquis Daniels 02-03. If we would have had Jamison Brewer on that team as well could have possibly won a title Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUBwins 10,075 Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Actually saw an article that we have been #2 3 separate times including both of the big Ellis squads. But never 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boisnumber1 2,819 Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 I'm hopeful, but honestly would not be shocked if we aren't #1. Can never tell with these rankings. We deserve it though. Lunardi and others have us there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAG 33,997 Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Thanks for bringing excitement to the plains CBP. Definitely deserves be up there in pay based on how he has turned this program around. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUinMS9528 1,086 Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 I expect AU to be #1 tomorrow. The only other option is the Zags. We won 2 road games, one of them against a team with a 17 game home win streak. Our overall resume is 16-1 with a 2OT loss to a ranked UConn team in the Bahamas. Gonzaga is also in league play which means they haven’t played any decent teams this week (BYU and Santa Clara I think) nor will they for a while. They are 14-2 overall with losses to Duke in Vegas and bama in technically a neutral site game, but it was in Seattle. Both teams have some quality Q1 wins, but overall our resume is better, and let’s not forget “we’re undefeated in regulation” ($1 to Les Miles) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's good for you to feel. That 11 seed lost to the champions by 1. That 11 seed was a ten seed. That team was an athletic distributor away from being great. And you can't judge a team by a seed try looking at the actual personnel. But ok 👌🏿 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
