Arizona #4

[BFieldHusky]

Arizona up to #4 in the AP Poll. When was the last time we played a top 5 team at Gampel?

Arizona. In 2000.

Public scrimmage in August

Nova and Pitt were never top 5 when they came in during that period?

Edit: also Texas when they were #1

 

[BFieldHusky]

I stand corrected. Syracuse was no. 2 in 2012. I got lazy and used AI.

 

[ColchVEGAS]

Villanova was ranked #2 and UConn #3 when we beat them at Gampel in '06.

I will never forget #1 Texas at Gampel in 2010

Highest OOC matchup ever in Gampel when considering both teams? Would think so.

 

[UCann]

When was the last time we played a top 5 team at Gampel, and we were the higher-ranked team? Might have never happened before?

 

[ColchVEGAS]

Both were in the Big East. Ruff is talking out of conference.

 

[Tenspro2002]

Pretty crazy that our OOC includes teams currently ranked: #4, #8, #9, and #10.

I can't imagine we've had 4 top-10 teams out of conference before.

Good thing since we don't have any top ten IN conf

Don’t make @superjohn tell you how much he loves Pitino

My favorite Gampel game ever.

 

[NewBlood]

Yup. That OOC

Got to get 4 wins, maybe 5 and win the BE Regular Season. Do that and we lock in a #1 seed

AI stinks most at exactly things like this question.

We did have 6 games with teams over #300 Sagarin one year.
