Re: Early Top 25 Lists for 2016-17
WOW!
I was hoping for the best, but I didn't think we would actually start the season ranked.
What a special moment for the program.
Right above Cincy too. That game is shaping up to be a great one.
Any idea when the AP poll comes out?

Dayton and VCU weren't far off and even Davidson got a little love.

So first preseason ranking since 1998-9? I'll take it!

Re: Early Top 25 Lists for 2016-17
Ranked 1 spot ahead of Cincinnati. Obviously a huge early season game for us as far as staying up in the rankings.

Here here! Wonder what the buzz is like around campus? We can use every student possible at our first three games going into Mohegan.

Re: Early Top 25 Lists for 2016-17
They should definitely get in the AP Top 25 as well. The ranking will help get attention of students. Hopefully the early games in Kingston will hook the students and we see big turnouts from them to fill the building.
I think it's fair to question the ticket paying fans as there is a large pool of them who won't come down until URI beats PC in any given season, even if that's not the most critical win of the year (and usually it's not).

Re: Early Top 25 Lists for 2016-17
There is no question that games televised on Cox affects attendance. If problems persist with Cox and an agreement for the 16-17 season cannot be reached we should have a lot of sell outs.
Does anyone have an idea how much Cox has paid to televise our games in the past?

Re: Early Top 25 Lists for 2016-17
The word "ranked" is so huge for students along with other fans. It's like a boost of confidence that changes their priorities from "I might go" to "wow were actually really good". Easy to advertise a good team because the ranking is clear evidence. Wow, I might paint my face like blueman now.

Re: Early Top 25 Lists for 2016-17
I am very, VERY happy about this!!
I caution everyone to remember when Nebraska was ranked at the bottom of the Top 25 a couple of years ago and we beat them. By the end of that season Nebraska was a disaster.
I don't see us doing that, but I think early season-rankings are not at all indicative of end of the year results, especially when looking at teams ranked 20-25.

KenPom ranking ps are out. They need about a month of data to be worthwhile, but there are 3 A10 teams in the top 50 (VCU, Dayton, Rhode Island), 9 in the top 100 to start.

Re: Early Top 25 Lists for 2016-17
He explains why and it's because his algorithm has to look at returning players most recent year results. We have some guy named Elbert who didn't score a point last year.

Interesting that Top 25 voters picked Rhody ahead of Dayton. A10 MBB coaches dis Rams in favor of Flyers.

Re: Early Top 25 Lists for 2016-17
Although I went through a handful of ballots and everyone that had Dayton in the top 25 ranked them ahead of Rhody. Dayton just wasn't on enough ballots.
John Feinstein is drinking the A10 kool aid, based on his having Dayton #14 and URI #18. Dickie V and KMac's votes don't surprise me. Seth Davis is usually bullish on the A10 voting but he only had Rhody at #25 - but he is usually more outspoken about A10 deserving a lot of bids as the tourney nears not so much early season.

Re: Early Top 25 Lists for 2016-17
I was lookging at this, I wonder if we will be under-valued really early on since Vegas relies so heavily on KenPom. So much of his rankings is historical performance so I wouldnt be surprised if it takes a little while to catch up if we really take as big a jump as everyone is hoping.ramster wrote:Ken Pom Preseason Rankings quite different from others:
