My point is I think Duke was over valued preseason and the AZ win is not as valuable as the jump they made in the polls (I wonder how many voting actually watched the game?!), but yes it will all work itself out.
Unless you think Duke should have been unranked preseason (which seems pretty crazy) the Arizona win is still either the 1st or 2nd best win of the season with JMU over Michigan State. There have been very few road wins over top 25 teamsMy point is I think Duke was over valued preseason and the AZ win is not as valuable as the jump they made in the polls (I wonder how many voting actually watched the game?!), but yes it will all work itself out.
I agree. Duke is overranked right now. I think theyll be better in February than they will be in November/December.My point is I think Duke was over valued preseason and the AZ win is not as valuable as the jump they made in the polls (I wonder how many voting actually watched the game?!), but yes it will all work itself out.
I don't think Duke should have been unranked - your words, not mine.
Then Arizona over Duke was the best win of the season and they deserved to move up
Can’t believe they were unranked, besides Paige they had 3-4 better players than the Husky women have.
He doesn't think they should've moved from #12 to #3, I don't think they should've either.
Maybe, I'd strongly disagree though with polls this early in the season. When you have one of the few good wins of the season you're going to see a big jump. Which is why Arizona moved way up, James Madison was ranked, and Weber State even got 2 votes
This is actually a really interesting question. It's been raised around here, but I didn't really think about it. It would be criminal if these clowns didn't see the games, but I'm also sure there's no way they see them all.My point is I think Duke was over valued preseason and the AZ win is not as valuable as the jump they made in the polls (I wonder how many voting actually watched the game?!), but yes it will all work itself out.
Most teams had played either 1 or 2 games vs inferior competition up to that point, Arizona vs Duke on the road was the most "challenging" scheduled game of the year so far, and its a CBB year devoid of truly elite talent, I don't even know how you come to that evaluation so early in the year.
I disagree completely with it being a year devoid of elite talent. NBA talent? Maybe. But there are some truly great college players this year
It’s too early to make that assessment, but not too early to say there’s no elite talent? How does that work?
Yes, projectable NBA talent, it's been a talking point about this year's freshman class(since those are usually the guys drafted at the top besides international guys) for awhile now
Its works because I'm talking about guys projected for the NBA, figured it was obvious but I guess not
What does that have to do with the CBB season? Adama and AJax weren’t considered projected NBA talent.
It wasn’t obvious because it has nothing to do with the CBB season lol
Last year's team had 3 guys who are on NBA rosters(one that was a lottery pick that you left out) and Clingan and possibly Karaban will join them. I'm not sure I can say alot of these other 10-12 teams the guy I was responding to who feels Zona/Duke are behind can say they have 5 NBA guys on their roster. I know you guys are thirsty to beat your chest and say Duke is trash but looking at the landscape right now after 2 bleeping games I can't say this early that there are 10-12 teams better than Zona & Duke because these teams are not loaded like that. It's not 2015, there isn't Duke/UK/Wisc sitting at the top of the mountain, it's open. If you disagree that's fine, you can have your opinion.
I’m not even reading past the first sentence. That only became true at conclusion of the season. We 2 games in.
I'm glad you realized this, that was the original point to begin with. I'm glad I was able to help.
I’ve never not realized it lmfao. You made a ridiculous statement. That insinuated the best teams will have the most “projected NBA talent”. And that’s just completely untrue
They failed my top-10 eye test (based on years of watching past college basketball seasons). They could pass it down the road but they were not impressive.
Dudes like you make this board so damn difficult and I don't get it, the manner in which you dudes conduct yourselves man, some of y'all really need to get hit with some act right.
You can’t be this clueless
Yea I'm just going to dead it and put you on ignore, a punk like you really not worth this type of engagement
He's actually not wrong.
