ISU MBB getting votes

granted it is the USA Today / ESPN Poll but still wasn't expecting this...this soon.

USA Today/ESPN Top 25 Poll - Houston Chronicle

Whoot whoot!

If Texas is ranked, K-State is getting votes then why not? Especially K-State, new coach, & they weren't a great team last year.

Is that the same Texas team that came out of the gate beating Fresno by 2?

K State was solid last year and have talent returning. Also Webber is a good coach especially when using a different coach's recruits.

Edit: I see Brokenlogin beat me to it...

Tied for 39th.

I'd be surprised if ISU was in top 25 or very near it already. But Top-40 seems correct.

Good start!

You know who you don't see in the top 40? That power-house recruiting hot bed in Iowa City.. Shocking!!:wideeyed:

If you look at their roster they don't have exceptional talent. Good, but not great. Yeah, Weber did great when he had Deron Williams, "The one man fast break", Brian Cook, Powell, Luther Head....he had a ton of talent initially at Illinois. For the talent they had last year, I think K-State did exceptionally well. Martin did an incredible job with that team. So for them to pick up where they left off with Weber & expect the same results or better, I don't see it happening. Would be very surprising to me.

But the question was why are they ranked/getting votes? That has been answered. Nobody knows if it will end up that way.

Beating powerhouse SWAC teams isn't easy, of course we're getting votes.
