I know it was a pre-season exhibition game, but that win over BYU seems to feel a lot more legitimate at this point...

If we beat MSU, we're looking at the top 10.

 

[Lionsfan93]

If we beat MSU, we're looking at the top 10.

If we beat MSU, we should be higher than top 10. Undefeated with wins over @Illinois and a top 10 Michigan St...that should be top 5....

 

[Frogsker30]

I want to keep winning but I don’t want to get higher just for the simulation to down us

I would agree, but the first half last night shows that there is still plenty of room for very bad basketball in this team.

I’m high on this team. I’m just not quite there on being to 15…

I think they aren’t far off though.

Eh — we played like shit and still won by 20+. That's the sign of a good team. I agree that there is still plenty of room to grow, but watch other teams...everyone has room to grow. But this team has a lot of maturity. That will carry them when they aren't playing up to their potential.

I agree with @Lionsfan93 - I’m not completely sold that NU is a top-15 team this year, but what happened last night isn’t unusual—it happens to plenty of top-25 programs and really shouldn’t be alarming in today’s college basketball. Just last week:

• MSU (-20) vs Oakland: up by only 3 at halftime, won by 9
• UCLA (-25) vs Cal Poly: down 2 at halftime, won by 21
• BYU (-34) vs Abilene Christian: up 7 at halftime, won by 18
• Duke (-33.5) vs Lipscomb: up 3 at halftime, won by 24
• NU (-29.5) vs ND: down 2 at halftime, won by 23

Shitty starts happen—even to elite teams. The final result is what matters.
