FU up 2 spots this morning to #44. WC up to #15.

Going to have to beat Mercer and what will be a 27-5 UNCG team (if they win their quarterfinal) to make any type of decent movement up on this

With wins against Mercer and UNCG,

and a loss or two by one of the teams ranked 44-38, we might have a worthy resume for an at large....

I see Clempson has joined us in the "first 4 out"

That's a great article. I just hate when they talk about resume because they best yada yada yada and all the losses are ignored. With that said even at 15-14 Indiana's resume is light years better than Clempson.

"Yet, given the Southern Conference’s primacy among mid-major conferences this season, ... "

Given last year's graduating class FU's 24+ win season was improbable enough, but who would've ever foreseen a quote like that? Followed immediately by:

"Furman — should it not win the SoCon tourney — strikes me as the front-of-the-line example of a mid-major which should not (must not) be excluded from the Dance."

Just wow.

Up 1 to 43.

Up 1 to 42.

Because of the power rankings component of the NET number out ranking will be influenced by plenty of other results.

Loyola beat Valparaiso by 13 earlier today in the MVC tourney. Charleston Southern upset Winthrop in the Big South tourney to make the semifinals. Gardner-Webb also made the semis.

Now up to 41. KenPom gave us no love as he's still got FU at 54.

It seems NET, KenPom, etc. only matter if FU doesn't win it. What would losing in Final due to those ratings?
