Guest abovetherim Posted February 11, 2008 Report Posted February 11, 2008 I'm sure this can keep the coaching staff and players focused as three SLC teams are receiving vote and Lamar doesn't. Yet, LU has the best conference record. I hope they continue snubbing Lamar. Gives us a little more motivation to prove the experts/coaches around the country wrong. Mffl, thanks for posting the poll.
UNLV Posted February 12, 2008 Report Posted February 12, 2008 If Lamar ever makes this list, we should write protest letters to have us removed. Mid-major is an insult.

Mffl, thanks for posting the poll. LU should have won mpore games.. Those rankings are done based on a =n entire body of work... Not just a conference record!
Guest abovetherim Posted February 12, 2008 Report Posted February 12, 2008 Exactly, so would I rather be ranked on this poll or win the SLC conference tournament championship?

Ruckdad Posted February 13, 2008 Report Posted February 13, 2008 But this year is different in that the number 1 seed is guaranteed a spot in the NIT if they do not qualify for the NCAAs by winning their conference tournament. So the best conference record definitely has a lot of importance.
