Louisville sounds like Louisiana. Sort of.

Didn’t Connecticut beat Tennessee with a depleted sick team by double digits. Why does this game carry so much weight for LSU

Yes, but that victory over Tennessee three weeks ago enabled UCONN to jump up to #6 . Since then, they haven't been able to move up anymore.

I'd like to see a list of the writers who vote.

I doubt Connecticut will make it to a one seed but they should be a two seed right now. It’s hard to take these rankings and bracket seriously.

We’ll get a read out of what the committee thinks at halftime of the Baylor-Iowa St game tonight. That’s the only bracket projection that matters. I think they’ll have UConn as a 2 seed in Bridgeport.

In what world is LSU better than UConn....what a joke.

 

[OldSchooler]

UConn is fifth in both Massey and Net. That’s where they belong.

And NET has Baylor at 10 and LSU at 15. AP has both of them ahead of UConn. Go figure.

With UCONN's weak schedule the past couple of weeks, they had little chance to improve their resume. Other teams played tough opponents, allowing them to leapfrog in the rankings.

Over the past two weeks UConn’s SOS base fallen from 3rd to the mid 20s according to Massey. They haven’t shown anything to computers . . .

Now, as to the eyeball test . . .

I like the logic, UConn should be ranked #5 in the AP poll...for reason their NET and Massey both have them ranked 5th. After all Louisville's NET and Massey's rank are both 4th...the AP writers have Louisville ranked 4th...it's so easy even a caveman can do the math, c'mon AP/Coaches voters.

OK... good point...

BUT... UCONN is #5 NET and #5 Massey.... and the 4 teams above them in NET and Massey (SoCar, Stan, NCSt, Lou) are ranked the same (1 - 4) by AP.
SO, how does it square that two teams further Down the rankings on both NET and Massey are ranked higher than UCONN by AP?

Just does not make sense...

Villanova received votes, but they aren't projected to make the tourney. Kentucky is 15-11 with 3 losses to teams (Depaul, Vandy, Texas AM) currently projected outside the tournament field... and they're in? Ole Miss still not ranked?

Louisville sounds like Louisiana. Sort of.

Both named for French kings names Louis (though not the same one, I believe).

Whatchou talkin' bout Louis?

 

[NJ-Fan]

Up to #6 in this week's AP Poll. SC remains at #1 but no longer unanimous (17/30 first place votes) - Stanford got 11 first place votes and closed the gap. NC State got 2 votes and closed the gap as well.
