Oakland is definitely a team to keep an eye on with Benson and Hamilton both having great seasons…Benson is the kind of player that can carry a team a round or two in the NCAA Tournament I think.
As for the rankings, you have to remember that the A10, CUSA, and Mountain West are included in the Other 26 rankings. The collegeinsider poll does not include teams from these leagues.
Oakland’s 17-9 record cannot be ignored, but their most recent loss to IUPUI over the weekend will not help their cause. What I do like about the Griz is how much they challenged themselves in the non-conference. As they say: “Just keep winning, baby!”
Glad you are liking the articles, Danny.

I was in fact wondering about them being left off the rankings after teams like Belmont and UNLV. The collegeinsider poll has them at 9, but I this one they are unranked. My question struck more to what was not being seen in them to warrant not being ranked. Just curious. I am looking forward to reading more and always appreciate rtc’s coverage of mids. I wasn’t complaining just wondering. Keep up the good work!

I am not sure what the question is. If by “this” do you mean why don’t I have Oakland in my rankings?
Although I have not touched on the Griz too much in this article, I have written about them extensively in previous ones. After Oakland beat Tennessee, the Week 5 edition had a lot of great information on them. There is a great picture that features them running off the court in Noxville, and I named Oakland my “Team of the Week” and Keith Benson was honored in my “Best Individual Performances.”
Going forward, I think you can expect me to write more on Oakland in my “Closer Look” section.

Fri, 04 Feb 2011 20:10:59 +0000http://rushthecourt.net/?p=32551#comment-190709Wondering if you can explain why Oakland is never been considered for this? Pretty big omission there.
