We--and especially the players on this team--have significantly more things to worry about than a worthless poll. Frankly, we're a long, long way from being the nation's eighth best team. I've already seen several teams who certainly appear to be our equal or better right now. We need to work on defensive play, communicating, rebounding fundamentals, ball handling, and taking good shots. We are still getting our "sea legs" playing the more difficult, ramped up basketball known as college basketball. At times, like the last seven minutes against Harvard, we looked pretty crappy and scored only five points...not great to end a game. I don't expect this team to be one of the elite teams this year, but may be truly special next year. I hope I am wrong. Polls really mean very, very little.
