AP Poll 12/9 - UConn #18

[UCann]

Not bad, though I was hoping for a little more of a rise given we are #13 on Kenpon:

More than fair. Good way to start climbing back.

 

[Tyler2Rings]

I figured we'd be in the 18-22 range. Nice

 

[SoFla Steve]

Coaches Poll has us at #20.

 

[REB1094]

I thought we’d be threatening the top 15 because so many teams lost last week, but can’t argue too much with it.

The things I will argue about are - Michigan unranked to 14 and Clemson unranked to 16 in 1 week feels aggressive. Oklahoma up 8 spots to 13 is surprising, they’ve beaten 0 good teams but barely held on against a few bad teams

 

[Tenspro2002]

That's fair. Gonzaga at #8 this week would make for a major scalp.

That game is the difference between a nonconference narrative of "enough quality wins to look like a contender" and "not quite at that level and needs to prove it in conference to earn a bid."

 

[StllH8L8ner]

Tough but fair.

 

[CL82]

We're moving on up

Golden making a nice comeback off being a perv getting the Gators into the top 10. Team is rallying around their coach being a stalker which is a feel good story.

[Platt81]

Kansas falling 9 spots after a winless week against unranked opponents vs our 23 spot drop is bulletin board material for Danny.

 

[RuffRuff]

 

[UConNick]

Well, we tend to buck a lot of trends with the way we win titles. What’s one more?

 

[king conn]

They will simply expand it to 18 next year

 

[80shusky]

Weird. I see the word Connecticut a lot in this graphic.

 

[alphasigko]

No argument... Win on Saturday and probably at 12 or better next Monday.

 

[FfldCntyFan]

Weird. I see the word Connecticut a lot in this graphic.

I don't see it as weird, weird is when another school's name shows up.

We were ranked as high as 10 (2 votes) - and somehow unranked by ten voters! I could argue against Texas A&M, Michigan, Clemson, and Oklahoma, who are all ahead of us, not making sense. Anyway...who cares? Beat Gonzaga, and we rise, and as always, the only poll that matters is determined in March and April.

 

[Staven]

The climb upwards has begun and once the good guys beat Gonzaga there will be a spot awaiting them somewhere in the Top 15. The season is still early and as always patience remains a virtue. Go Huskies!

Maybe it’s my eyes, but aren’t there 9 in the “UConn passed” section?

kansas has a win over top 10 duke, and only lost twice.

We lost 3x and had no quality win at the time. Not sure what the bulletin board is there.

Pro Zags
Coming off a loss, motivated
Few has taken some beatings by Hurley lately and should be meaningful to him

Pro Huskies
Storrs South
Cross country for Zags
UConn matches up fairly well here, Battle could be the one mismatch
Zags got a lot of hype off the Baylor blowout which aged out a bit, post the wtf WV loss
Know Nembhard
Will be dogs, and fired up

Huskies in a close one, with the reduced rotation and a week to prepare. I think we’ll now see how the UConn staff shines.
