in the AP POLL. The fact that we're still getting votes after the Cornell loss means some voters have confidence in St JOhns.

i think it has to do with them having confidence in cornell more than confidence in us...idt there are too many st johns fans voting, if they felt cornell was a bad team they would have not voted for our guys to be in the top 25 at all

SJU is ranked 41 in AP, 45 in ESPN.  Cornell 46 and 42.  Temple, 18 and 19 and Duke 7 in both.  In the pollsters eyes SJU hasn't had a bad loss yet.

Also Kenpom has SJU at 66, Cornell at 64, Temple at 14, Duke at 2.  RPI has SJU at 17, Cornell at 18, Temple at 4 and Duke at 1.  FWIW Pom and RPI have Siena at 53 so it looks like a decent win as well.

nice research.  a close game against georgetown shouldn't hurt our rpi.

A win against GTown could get us into the Top 25 next week.

Confidence is key. Keep the buzz going
