Despite dropping the Crosstown Shootout 65-55, the Cincinnati Bearcats maintained their Top 25 ranking, coming it at #20 in the latest Coaches Poll and #23 in the AP Poll.
I really can’t even begin explain this. Like, at all. UC was pretty thoroughly blasted by Xavier on national TV. Everyone could see that the finally score suggesting a closer game than it actually was. Yet the Bearcats maintained their #23 ranking in the AP Poll and, even more remarkably, rose two spots in the AP Poll from 22nd to 20th. #WaitWut
Seriously, how does this even happen?
