The AP is out and we are nowhere to be found in the poll. The apparent message to Wes is .. Prove it.

Here is a Purdue heavy write up then it lists the poll. College basketball rankings: Purdue earns No. 1 spot in preseason AP Top 25 poll ahead of Houston, Florida - CBS Sports
The way that I read this is that there are 6 Big 12 teams listed and Houston #2. -
I didn't expect the Cats to be ranked, after last years debacle! The AP wasn't going to make the same mistake twice.Comment

Matt Norlander's annual Top 100 And 1
UC - 49
"One of the strangest stories of the past six months is the dismissal of Jizzle James from Cincinnati. James was, by all accounts, a quality teammate through his first two seasons with the Bearcats. But something changed in the spring, and by July, coach Wes Miller had to sever ties. James would've been the team's projected best player under ideal circumstances, so UC as a result gets knocked down a bit in my rankings without him. UC also lost Dillon Mitchell, Dan Skillings Jr., Simas Likosius, Aziz Bandaogo … and most of the roster from one of 2024-25's most disappointing teams. Miller needs to make the NCAA Tournament to hold on to his job. Day Day Thomas (10.2 ppg) is the only player back who contributed a season ago and he should be a really nice player over the next five months. Cincinnati's most promising additions are Jalen Celestine from Baylor, Baba Miller from FAU (previously at FSU), Sincere Harris from West Virginia and Kerr Kriisa, who got hurt last fall and never factored in at Kentucky."

To not mention Thiam just means he has no idea about our actual roster.Comment

For those worried about the Dayton game, here are some scores from ranked teams:
#12 Louisville 96-88 over #9 KY
# 6 Michigan 85-84 over NR Wake
#14 Illinois 81-77 over #11 Texas Tech
#7 BYU 85-68 over NR Delaware
#10 Florida 78-76 over NR FSU
#24 Wisconsin 86-55 over NR Ball State
#5 Arizona 84-49 over NR N. Arizona
What these scores show me is that some of those teams underperformed last night. I bet some fans from schools like UM, UK, TT, UF are complaining about how their teams performed.Last edited by bearcatbret; 11-12-2025, 09:14 AM.Comment
