Rankings really mean nothing at this point. It's going to be a good barometer of where we are early in the season.

It's a good barometer of where we are as a team.

I don't know where they're getting their rankings from.

I'm not sure where we belong [in the national rankings] and I honestly mean that, but I want to make sure that when we go [to Xavier] that we play great defense, we take good shots, and we play the way we're capable of playing. The worst thing that can happen to us Thursday ... we can lose a basketball game.

It really is a very good barometer, we think, of how active employers are.

I'm feeling good and hitting the ball well. I want to get some results and move up the rankings. I'm looking forward to the tournament.
