Sorry if this has been posted already.
Amazingly, like hockey, these things are as much a function of reputation as merit. Albany deserves to be at least top 3 and certainly ahead of Hopkins at this point.
It's great that Cornell is on top, but it's just a target (especially for Duke). Hopefully the team can stay healthy and get a good seed for the tournament.
The coaches' poll for 3/12 gives Albany its due:
