Not much respect for DePaulā¦ 45 votes good enough for 30th. Most sites have them with a slightly higher RPI than us.

I canāt believe we havenāt been ranked since before I graduated. :blink:
This better get some butts in the seats - if I wasnāt working this week, Iād fancy a drive up. Cāmon Niners, kick some Blue Demon ass!

SWEET! Here is another poll which has both us and Depaul:
More love in the headlinesā¦
All aboard the niner bandwagonā¦I got a feeling we will have no trouble filling up the seats.
As long as it took us to get back in we could be out quick ā¦ need to win two this week to keep the momentum going !! GO Niners !!!
Hold on a second guys. Whatās with all the ābandwagonā talk? You think people are going to all of a sudden see us at #23 instead of #27 and jump on us? I mean, I donāt even think weāll really have a larger attendance based on the ranking. I mean, I would love to see the place sold out, but I just donāt think itās gonna happen.
Yes, unfortunatly seeing a # beside Charlotte makes the world of difference to most of the know nothing basketball fans that attend this school. Heck when I was in line this morning getting tickets the girl behind me was like āUH I guess I should go to a game before I graduateā I wanted to turn around and smack her. Even some of the guys in my classes were interested in the game wed after I told them we were top 25. Sad but true.

If DePaul beats us Wednesday (YIKES!) and Marquette on Saturday, then the Blue Demons would probably be in the Top 25 next week.

[/b]Being in the top 25 makes a monstrous difference to anyone who is 1) not a basketball guru, or 2) a steady fan of the program to begin with. Example DePaul. They are a good/solid team, but outside of their fans, and the real bball gurus, who would know?? Which is all the more reason we need to show up and whoop up on them Wednesday. Cause in the end if we lose (which I don't think will happen), the only thing people will remember is Charlotte was 23 at the time, and Depaul was unranked (even if they were top30).

[/b]I know it's stupid, but most of my friends always asked me "What are we ranked?" whenever I asked them to a game or talked to them about the team. If we weren't, they'd usually give me the :huh: and then decide to do something else.
This town loves a winner (compare Panthers post-Super Bowl attendance to pre-Super Bowl attendance) - weāre ranked, weāll get a bit more pub and we get more of a buzz around town. I guarantee the crowd is big for Wed night. I can tell just from the activity on this board.
Earlier this season I said that polls donāt matter, theyāre BS, etcā¦ And I still think so. However, I see some value in them since I can now say ācheck out Charlotte, weāre ranked.ā Whoever I had that conversation with, I see your point.
Go Niners!
