Holy Cross' loss to Southern Illinois in the first round of the NCAA Tournament might have embarrassed Bill Simmons, but it did nothing to diminish the Crusaders respect among the voters in College Insider's Mid-Major Top 25 poll.

Ranked ninth at the end of the regular season, HC held on to that spot in the final voting, released today. Southern Illinois was the unanimous No. 1 pick.

Bucknell, which was tops among the others receiving votes in the final regular season poll, taken after the conference tournament, slid to fifth on the others receiving list in the final tally.

We have long ago given up trying to understand the minds of poll voters.
