Going to be awile before we draw 7000+.It will have to be the perfect team,time,and day.And that would be a Indiana St. or Murray St with them bringing 1000 plus fans.

Years ago I attended a UEgame in terrible Haute.Place was almost empty and we had to sit in the upper deck,only tickets they would sell to us.We tried to move down on the lower level and the ushers refused. So when the Trees make a visit here I say open the upper deck and have there fans sit in the crows nest and make sure the ushers do not let them move to the lower level.

Very little movement at Kenpom. Currently sitting at 204. We moved from 214 to 207, and then up to 204 after all games were played. Meanwhile, UNI drops from 124 to 135 and no farther. Can someone explain what we have to do to move up any? We will most likely be around 212 when we play BYU Tuesday.

What little I know or care to know about December rankings is that they probably needed to win this game on the road for the pundits to pay closer attention. They run off 4 wins out of their next 5 and their status will stabilize. It's not like this is generating new revenue. The Calipari All-Stars, on the other hand ...........

What a game and atmosphere. Reminded me of an Aces game at Roberts. On to BYU hopefully they can get them there. Love Bailey but he needs to calm down and just play. I love his emotion but he needs to learn to control it. Love how we have so many different guys step up and have big games all season.Go Aces!

Can someone explain what we have to do to move up any? We will most likely be around 212 when we play BYU Tuesday. We have to significantly beat Kenpoms pregame prediction to see big movement. Yesterday was predicted to be a one point win by UNI, so a two point victory by us doesn’t move the needle significantly when his model adjusts. We’re predicted to lose to BYU by 23, so that is actually a really good opportunity to move up the rankings without a W. Keep it within 10 and we’ll probably move up 10-15 spots again. We’re predicted to lose by 2 to Bellarmine on the road after that. If we can pull off a 10+ point road victory, we should bump up 20 spots. Hopefully we see big blowouts of the OVC teams later this month. That’ll help a lot too.

I went to Pomeroy's site. It's still too early of a morning for me to accept the challenge of reading all of his metrics.
As Larry and ATP have mentioned, the biggest moves can be made by a team's performance on the road. We certainly have a chance to get inside 200 this coming week.

The Aces are the same team with the same depth at Kenpom 204 as they were at Kenpom 304. Games are played with balls and goals, not algorithms. One bad referee with a new whistle can determine outcomes far more effectively than anything Kenpom dreams up on his yacht. I'd rather we win at 204 than lose at 104.

Anyone who takes the time to understand all of his metrics is wasting precious time. When and if we do get inside 200, the games will still begin with a 0-0 tie.

Well, our administration isn't insecure twits like those up there. I would hope we treat visiting fans fairly and never result to the bush league crap Indiana State does. I personally have never had a problem there, but I have also never sat in the lower section. I know Tom Servo had to give up low seats they rightfully obtained from a Terre Haute season ticket holder.

We received tickets from my grandpa (he got them from an ISU booster) and they were in the 2nd row behind the isu president. The ushers and the isu admins said they couldn’t have us behind the president with UE shirts on so they moved us. I will never forget that. UE lost that game but we met again in STL and were able to get revenge - this was in 2016.

Having endured some schmuck on the baseball threads ridiculing the pom pom Moms, it seems they tend to miss the message -- people attend sporting events for two reasons, and one of them is to cheer for one of the teams. I forget the other reason. This schmuck said he and his pals sat in the UE section and mocked the Aces, then complained that the UE fans told them to STFU. He thought that was rude of them. I haven't been to Sicko City in a couple of years but I know it takes way too long to get through it.
