After missing out on the first Associated Press (AP) poll by three votes, the Loyola men’s basketball team again misses out — this time on the USA Today Poll.
The USA Today Poll works by having a panel of Division I head coaches submit a Top 25 ranking. The members of the panel represent each of the 32 Division I conferences that receive an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament — including the Missouri Valley Conference, which Loyola competes in.
The University of Nebraska — which was picked as the No. 25 team — received 67 votes.
