Down Goes 1 & 2

[YoungFree]

Oh man. What a night! 1 and 2 both go down to unranked teams!

If we handle our business this week, #2 is in our future.

Knowing the voters, Houston will collapse to like #9 but Purdue will be like #4-5.

 

[HuskyHawk]

Houston is really going to get a dose of reality playing in a real conference. This is the first of several losses.

Tbh I can see voters put 1. Kansas 2. Purdue 3. UConn

I think they go to 4 or 5 but I could see how you got there

Don't underestimate the polling power of Duke. They have Cooper Flagg playing for them next year.

 

[UChusky916]

How about uconn plays and wins games in front of them before we predict polls 6 days from now.

Nah

It's no shame to lose in the last minute at Iowa State. They're #17 in Kenpom, right behind Kansas.

I think we stay #4 in the polls until Donovan is fully back.

 

[Mike Honcho]

Kansas has a tough home game against #9 OU (13-1) on Saturday.

Nah

That's true. Which is trash.

Yeah, uh, we all know that.....

Who?

Duke had to play a road game in some place called Pittsburgh and they’re not supposed to have to play road games. The ACC is mean. 50 first place votes and an automatic bye to the Sweet 16 is only fair.

You get to talk zero smack after Dickinson’s flop.

 

[brihman]

It’s more fun this way - when Kansas goes down to Oklahoma we’re in line for #1

Maybe.

Possible. I think Purdue drops to #3. Maybe #4. Purdue held the #1 post before. Got sent back down, then climbed to #1 again. Now back down. Curious to see the rankings come Monday. /we win and we are up there.

Fricking Jinx. Good god. We do have two big east games before Monday.

I am in the lets just focus on X right now, that is not an easy place to play

 

[REB1094]

UConn hasn’t beat Xavier since February 2022. One game at a time

Isn't that the team's responsibility. Just asking for a friend.

 

[YearoftheHusky]

It cracks me up when people say to stop speculating and just focus on the next game. How many of us are coaching or playing in it? We are fans on a message board, not players in the locker room talking about our ranking next week.

Houston has a great coach and great program. They have been deep in the tourney and to the Final Four very recently. Of course they will fall after a loss, but that takes nothing away form the program which is pretty darn good.

No truer words have been spoken. For me, I can’t wait to see a number 1 in front of our name next week.
