I find it odd we don't have a single vote in the ESPN/USA Today.
It's complete crap that none of the coaches contributing to the poll have seen fit to put us at #25 at least. A big FU to all of the following, especially Gary Williams -- who had a first-hand look and somehow walked away unimpressed -- and especially to Ed Cooley who should show lifelong respect and deference to the school who launched his head coaching career. Now, Tommy Amaker I will forgive. After embarrassing us so thoroughly the past two years he may never look at BC as a top 25 team again.
The USA TODAY/ESPN Board of Coaches is made up of 31 head coaches at Division I institutions. All are members of the National Association of Basketball Coaches. The board for the 2010-11 season: Mike Adras, Northern Arizona; Tommy Amaker, Harvard; Tevester Anderson, Jackson State; Ronnie Arrow, South Alabama; Randy Bennett, Saint Mary's; Eddie Biedenbach, North Carolina-Asheville; Jim Boeheim, Syracuse; Rick Byrd, Belmont; Patrick Chambers, Boston University; Charlie Coles, Miami (Ohio); Ed Cooley, Fairfield; Scott Drew, Baylor; Steve Fisher, San Diego State; Don Friday, St..Francis (Pa.); Ben Jacobson, Northern Iowa; Rob Jeter, Wisconsin-Milwaukee; Billy Kennedy, Murray State; Billy Lange, Navy; Mike McConathy, Northwestern State; Bob McKillop, Davidson; Phil Martelli, Saint Joseph?s; Ronald "Fang" Mitchell, Coppin State; Matt Painter, Purdue; John Pelphrey, Arkansas; Herb Sendek, Arizona State; Shaka Smart, Virginia Commonwealth; Scott Sutton, Oral Roberts; Don Verlin, Idaho; Bob Williams, UC-Santa Barbara; Gary Williams, Maryland; Doug Wojcik, Tulsa.
Of course, having said all this, I'm fine with us not getting votes for now. Let's keep the boys hungry. But if we beat URI and SC I expect to vault to 24 or 25. Votes won't be enough for me.....

10 point losses are blowouts?

The majority of that game was close. It seemed like during the 30 minutes of a back-and-forth contest, it turned into a 22 point lead on a dime. Then just as quickly as it happened, the big lead vanished for Wisky. So no, not a blowout.

After a dead even opening 25 minutes or so, Wisky hit everything for about an 8 minute stretch...BC reciprocated during the final 5 mins...thus the final margin. Pretty even game for the most part.
BCMcG {l Wrote}:Remember 2 years ago? When BC started 13-2 with a loss against a solid Big Ten team (Purdue) and a bad loss (St. Louis)? BC didn't crack the Top 25 until that 13th win when they knocked off #1 UNC.
1. This is a team with little depth and can't play defense. It's going to take a few ACC wins before BC even deserves to be ranked.
b. We lost to Yale.
iii. Nobody has seen this team play. Nobody with a vote is logging onto Channelsurfing.net to watch the scoreboard feed and listen to John Meterparel and Malcolm Huckaby. Voters know this about BC: they're 10 and 2; BUT they lost to Yale; they have a new coach, no big name recruits, and a guy named Reggie Jackson who is supposedly pretty good (and they may not even know this last one).
Also, the Wisconsin game wasn't a blowout. It was a 7-point game with a minute to go. If the Badgers miss their free throws, it's anybody's game.

The game was not nearly as close as the final score....do you just go around and open every post on the board and hope you find something to argue with?

Oh the irony of you talking about arguing. The game got down to 7 points very late and ended at 10 points. In what world is that a blowout?

We can argue semantics of what is or is not a blowout but I have to say I agree the game was not as close as the score. They started running out clock and literally did not score for 5 minutes. That is not a comeback because of great D, that is Wisconsin having the game in hand and going 4 corners. They were up 22 with under 5 to play. The headline on the espn.com recon read "Wisconsin uses 26-2 run to bury Boston College" Usually when someone says you got buried you got blown out.
That said - who gives a shit? Its a godamn loss. Ironic or not (and it is) OJ is right you are just being argumentative
