Disrespect in the polls?
Not that the polls make any difference, but are the Bucks getting the shaft in the polls, or is it typical for a 19-11 team to have 1 lousy vote? 1 vote?!?! That means 1 person thought they were worth a 25th ranking.
Is this all because of the sanction, or is this fairly accurate?

The fact that they had to upset the #1, only-remaining-undefeated, team in the country just to finish at .500 in their conference may have something to do with it.

Remember, they entered the game with a losing streak and lost about every game to top 25 teams in the power ratings. Win three more and I think they might just get in there.
We'll all be a lot happier next year with our rating but these guys have shown guts and respect for themselves that is truly something to be proud of. If we don't get a top 25, we're still top 25 in my book!

Under the circumstances of adversity this BB team faced, they should be given some kind of award for the regular season they had. They could have given up and instead they gave it their all. I'm sure they pleasantly surprised alot of people.  
I hope the NCAA thinks this team has suffered enough and the self-imposed suspension and O'Brien's firing is enough. |

I agree with this....but also I think our self imposed probation has played a role with the voters in the poll. |

No doubt about it.
Our boys won't be ranked this year, even if we win the BT tourney.

Due to the Guardians classic, we have played a few more games than many teams, which has padded our win total somewhat. If you look at the other teams receiving votes, our 11 losses is easily the highest total. Many of those teams have only played 27 to 28 games and have six to nine losses. Also the preception of the Big10 being weak and the post season ban definitely factor in there.
