AP Poll - Week 14

[karstenkibbe]

Borges has the good guys unranked this week. Illogical to me, but then again, voting is subjective, flawed, etc.

David Borges: Our AP Top 25 men's basketball ballot for this week

Purdue remains at No. 1 after a tumultuous week, but did UConn men's basketball team make the cut?

Think we end up at 21. We'll pass San Diego State, Clemson, FAU. Indiana is an interesting one with a loss to Maryland, but they'll probably move up with the win over Purdue

That’s pretty absurd, unless he didn’t have them ranked last week.

 

[upstater]

Utah State and Florida Atlantic. Deserving.

 

[McLovin]

He did not have them ranked last week. I get the idea of not wanting to seem biased, but still…

 

[JonnyRI]

Thinking 21-23, not great wins, so let’s say 22.

#23

We blew a 20 point lead to DePaul and barely beat Georgetown.

 

[UConNick]

Utah State? Sureeee.

They’re 0-3 in Q1 and have 2 Q4 losses. I agree with Borges there are a lot of teams, well more than 25, that deserve votes. But Utah State is definitely not one of them.

We didn't "blow" a 20 point lead. Closest they got was 6 and then we won by 14.

 

[Matt1010]

Our own beat writer doesn't have us ranked when we are clearly deserving of a top 25 spot, jeez.

This. Utah State is probably the third or fourth best team in their conference. They're good, but not top 25 good

Somehow it's only our media guys and alums who do this, while most of the Big Ten, SEC, Big XII, Pac-12 guys are relentless homers.

Week 14 Big East Honors:

Dang, that's his 4th or 5th FoW award - loving AK!

 

[JonnyRI]

For all the

Dang, that's his 4th or 5th FoW award - loving AK!

for all the love Clingan gets, and rightly so, Karaban had to be the odds on favorite for Freshman of the year in the BE.

Five time winner!

I wonder if you actually know such details for every other team?

Rhetorical question really, of course you don't, nobody does. Every team in the country plays games closer than oddsmakers or fans think they should be played, without one exception

 

[Austin316]

21…

Marquette up to 10
X to 13
PC to 20
Creighton re-entered at 23

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

It’s kinda funny how 18-6 and fringe top 20 is exactly what almost everyone predicted for this point. Just took a bit of an unusual path

Borges was higher on us than consensus for most of the year, even voted us #1 a couple weeks. He's paying more attention than others, for good or for bad depending on how the season is going.

Yet in Andy Katz's Power 36 UConn is nowhere to be seen. Admittedly, I don't know the metrics he uses, but if they are #21 in the AP Top 25, how are they not even among his 36?

Probably because we only have one good win since xmas.

 

[REB1094]

GREAT to see five BE teams ranked. Hope it can stay this way for the rest of the year

His rankings are as useful as an umbrella in a hurricane.
