Moved up 1 in the AP Poll. Stayed the same in the Coaches Poll at #13 (behind Auburn).

I know the polls have nothing to do with the NCAA Tournament but it sure feels good to see our name there every week!

Plus anytime we are on TV or people check scores on their phone having that ranking next to our name looks nice.

Riding a nine-game winning streak, Indiana State debuted at No. 23 in The Associated Press men's college basketball poll Monday, the Sycamores' first ranking since reaching No. 1 in 1978-79.

Drew has assembled a really good team. But we're spoiled and after winning a title, we want more. This team looks pretty limited in how far it can go. We'll hang another NCAA tournament banner, maybe make a Sweet 16 run if we're lucky.

We've come so far but I'm greedy.

The odds are against any single team winning another championship. Unless something changes with our attitude toward defense, it seems unlikely we will soon.

I would say we have about a 5% chance to win the tournament with this team, But no team this year has a 10% chance. It could happen, 95 % won't. But whoever it happens for, including us, wasn't dominant.

Unless we have some starting upper classmen, I don't see us winning another championship. Can't win with a bunch of one and dones IMO.

Probably correct. Kendall Brown should still be playing at Baylor. I guess it's difficult to recruit talent that isn't a lottery pick but can improve over 2-3 seasons.

So annoying. Brown and an uninjured EJ on this team, this might be the #1 team in the country. Definitely top 5 with a front court that gives everyone fits.

If you guys haven't checked out Robbie Avila yet, do yourself a favor and watch the video below. This kid is going to be a national treasure come March.

He's 6'10 240. Doesn't look it from those videos.

He's a legit 6-9 or 6-10. And he's pretty doughy, so 240 wouldn't surprise me. But he's exceptionally skilled. The highlight reel above doesn't show it, but he's an elite passer for a big man. He's really fun to watch.

In totally unrelated news, another Baylor had a signature day:

My guy Robbie Avila had himself a day last night against Evansville. He's now averaging 17.4 points, 7.1 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game while shooting .548/.400/.810 for 25-5 Indiana State. And the kid's still just a sophomore.
