Message: [QUOTE="Bone Dog, post: 4452522, member: 12088"] What the UCLA game shows isn’t that SC is somehow not great — that’d be preposterous. But the game did show how they’re vulnerable. The pg problem is real. I suspect their guard play will improve markedly in January. No one is going to beat them in the frontcourt, but the backcourt will continue to be the main chance for opposing teams. As for whether Stanford deserves its ranking, if their preseason ranking made sense, then nothing has happened so far to push them down to #3. There’s plenty of reasons to suspect they don’t really deserve it now, but that’s only speculative. Given their schedule, little will happen on that side to change the rankings. And if UConn takes a single loss in its OOC schedule the preseason rankings will appear to lots of folks to have been confirmed. [/QUOTE]
