Pinche Rothstein left 14-1 FAU out after just beating UNT, and UAB, who he mentions as one of 10 to keep an eye on. He also lists Liberty, who has 5 losses, 3 of them to SoMiss, EKU and Oral Roberts. An Iona team with 5 losses, to Quinnipac, lowly SMU and mighty Hofstra. And a few other programs who don’t belong on the list.
Not that I give two shits about FAU, but they just beat the 2 top dawgs of CUSA.
He probably read a pre season article about how the afore mentioned teams are supposed to be the shiznit in their respective conferences and thought he did his homework.
Gawd damn. These guys don’t have the sense to realize it isn’t worth saving face from some insignificant disagreement one has with someone they’ll never see again. Too many lives ruined in an instant.
Nice! We’re gonna make them lose their ranking.
I was researching the last time UTEP basketball was ranked and how high we went and came across this article.

The Pit has served as home for Lobo hoops since the first game was played Dec. 1, 1966, with New Mexico defeating Abilene Christian, 62-53. A total of 840 games have been played overall. The Lobos have come away the victor in 697 of those, good for a stunning .817 winning percentage.
What is even more impressive about UNM’s home court is that over 13 million fans have flocked into this sunken edifice to see their beloved Lobos play basketball. The exact figure stands at 13,175,685 prior to the 2015-16 season. The Lobos have averaged an astounding 15,410 fans the past 49 years.
The Lobos have finished second in the nation in attendance five times, third on four occasions, and fourth six times, and they have been in the top 25 in attendance in each of the last 49 years.
UNM hosted the NCAA Championship in 1983, won by North Carolina State over Houston, the 1968, ’78, ’92 and 2000 West Regional, the 1985 and 1996 West Region First and Second Rounds, and 1988 McDonald’s High School All-American basketball game. The NCAA Men’s First and Second Rounds were here in 2002 followed by the Women’s First and Second Rounds and the Midwest Regional in 2003. UNM hosted the women’s first and second rounds in 2004, 2008 and in 2011, followed by the men’s Albuquerque Regional in 2005, the West Regional for the women’s tournament in 2006 and the 2012 men’s second and third rounds .
The Pit is built in a 37-foot hole on Albuquerque’s southeast mesa. First the roof was constructed, then the hole was dug and the Arena built. That all happened in 1966. The unique Behlen roof (338 by 300 feet) was set up by contractors and then 55,000 cubic yards of earth were removed. About 28,000 yards of concrete were poured in the initial construction, which allowed a seating capacity of 14,831. The cost – an incredibly economical $1.4 million.
Expansion was undertaken when it became apparent that fan interest was too great even for the original structure. The expansion in 1975 cost near $2.2 million and involved the extension of a cantilevered deck above the existing facility. There are six rows in the deck, with a seating capacity of 2,300. Reserved standing-room-only spots increased The Pit’s capacity to 18,018.
The Pit underwent a massive upgrade and expansion that was completed in time for the 2010-11 season that included $60 million of improvements. Among the improvements were the U.S. Bank club/suites level seating, upgraded lower bowl seating, two end wall video boards, ribbon boards, a unique graphics package showcasing the history of Lobo basketball and UNM athletics, upgraded concessions area, the new Lobo Den Store, and a remodeled concourse. NBA locker rooms were added for both the men’s and women’s teams along with a player’s lounge. The facility currently has a capacity of 15,411.
A new practice facility and coaches’ offices for UNM men’s and women’s basketball was completed in April 2006. The new practice facility is named the Rudy Davalos Basketball Center after former UNM athletics director Rudy Davalos.
The facility is located at the south end of the building and includes a practice floor with six baskets, offices for men’s and women’s basketball, a video viewing room and an area to accommodate media needs for Lobo games and upcoming NCAA basketball tournaments. The 2010 renovations successfully integrated the Davalos Center with The Pit, allowing Lobo men’s and women’s basketball to seamlessly move between the two facilities for practice and games and camps

I was looking over this video because as a parent I spotted the second I saw it. High Functioning Autism spectrum individual sticks out to me. They work in your offices, deliver, prep your food, they're engineers. Silicon Valley has groups that work together.
