So, 28 first place votes, one 2nd, and two 3rds, or 28 1st, two 2nd, and 1 4th. Either way, I'll take it. Also, good to see another HL team in the top 10.
I wonder if Brad was one of the three who didn't put Butler at #1.

course. And here it is: at Northwestern, in 76 Classic (open with Minnesota, possible second-rounder vs. UCLA), vs. Georgetown in Madison Square Garden, vs.
Ohio State, vs. Xavier … Apparently the Indiana Pacers were unavailable." - Mike DeCourcy

Siena should be ahead of Gonzaga IMO

Someone on another board pointed out that Wisconsin Milwaukee recieved 36 votes while the lowly UW-Milwaukee only recieved 10
votes... coincidentally, that is still 2 votes more than Green Bay recieved.

Doctor Tobias Funke wrote: It's interesting to note that both Gonzaga and Siena have the same vote totals, but Gonzaga has one more 1st place vote. I think that means if you "handicap" Gonzaga with that extra first place vote - Siena actually had received more #2 votes than Gonzaga did to end up with the tie - but it was very, very close.
Schedules, schedules - class, practice and season.
