I like the enthusiasm, I thought I was being too optimistic thinking 3-2 over that stretch.

"By the way Real Top 25 Teams don’t lay an egg at home in front of 16K fans versus an unranked opponent ." - You.

Those 3 years UConn men's basketball teams all did that. You following yet? Or should I break it down even further for you?

I love your optimism. I'm serious. I wish more people would be optimistic on here. Including myself. My issue is, in all seriousness, the 04 team was clearly more talented than this one. Maybe our most talented team ever. And bazz and kemba had big wins against top teams early on and showed that we had huge playmakers. They all may have lost games in front of a packed home court, but the big similarities stop there.
 
Give us your top 25 teams, I promise I can tear it apart, especially given the haters standards for evidence and reasoning

Most of the hating fans are probably young, just don't know what they think they know

Others seemingly would be more content with Perno like years. We would be unbeaten, maybe once beaten, they'd be all giddy and totally oblivious to the reality awaiting them

I'm going to start putting the angry simpletons on ignore. No time to waste on their drivel. I suggest others do the same.

Nah can’t see it. Lost to an unranked team at home and looked really bad. Voters have eyes can see we don’t have any scoring.

Do voters know Sonogo is out? Asking for a friend

You as well willie are, but I don’t. Discouraged at best I must say. And I have to watch the Giants get killed by my least favorite team. :rolleyes: ;)

Yeah I’m following but let me break it down for you smart guy. We don’t have the players like they had and certainly not the coach most of the time. That comparison is beyond stupid lol

I would be shocked if 20% of the voters are watching a mid-December conference game where both teams are ranked outside the Top 10. They are checking out box scores, they will see that the game was close and that Providence is about to be ranked, and they will ding UConn UConn a little.

All these voters do is look at the wins and losses of each team in the last week and move each team up or down a little, and they probably spend about an hour a week on it, max. Do you think a writer in the south or midwest, who probably has to publish 5-10 articles/blog posts a week is watching every UConn game?

You made a blanket statement with no qualifiers. But glad to see you now agree your original statement was dumb and inaccurate. Glad we are finally on the same page.

Of course but that was not point or what I was insinuating. My point to the post was saying that a real top 25 teams don't lose at home unranked teams is quite possibly the dumbest blanket statement that has been uttered on this board.

We aren’t and won’t be. Please change to HeGotNoGame soon I will then understand.
Have a good day!

You keep jumping to the top of the dumbest blanket statements uttered with every post. Thank you for your interest in UConn basketball.

I was worried about UConn being in the Top 20 when”also receiving votes” was huge to get your name in. So I do know this team right now wouldn’t even deserve that. I’m still waiting for why they do from you?
 
This loss just means there will now be at least 5 Big East teams that will be in and out of the top 25. Maybe 6, as Creighton will move up in the “also received votes”, and have a chance to move higher. Or lower, true of any of the BE teams getting votes, whether ranked or “also”. Providence is “also”, 28 in AP, Monday they’ll be ranked. Yes, it’s a loss to an unranked opponent at home, not ranked in top 25, but they were still ranked in the top 30! Depends on other teams results this weekend, but we could still be ranked Monday, I think we will be in fact, but if “also” instead, the league offers plenty of chances for wins against ranked conference foes.

I don’t know who the highest ranked BE team will be as the season plays out. But with most of our ranked teams being in the lower half of the top 25, and playing each other, we may see some in and out of the rankings all year long. And that includes ourselves….

Right now UCONN and Nova are the only top 25 teams with more than 2 losses. PC will move up. Perhaps Wisconsin, Loyola Chi., San Fran, Minnesota, WVU. CBS 26 has UCONN out.

The voters will see teams with only 1 or 2 losses and move them up. The wheat, as it were, from the chaff.

there were not '16k fans' there. anyone there yesterday knows this.
no complaint given the situation currently, but still there were not '16k fans' there.
here, have a fun pick of jmoney's elevation from the game. hop city.

that should really cheese u off, grumpystilskins.
 
Providence, Xavier, Kentucky, and Colorado State will pass us. Arkansas, Texas Tech, UNC, and San Francisco lost. If we are #24 or #25 depends on if Wisconsin and Oklahoma both pass us. Very possible we are #26 but #24 or #25 wouldn't surprise me. Also, interested to see if Nova falls out completely. If that happens, we should be in.

Not at all check your likes no one agrees with your nonsense. You’re clueless but cute nonetheless your persistence is rather impressive. But it ends there.

Again enjoy your day! :D

You have 30k posts on a message board, no wonder you think awkward plays on a handle are funny and numb nuts hitting like on a post are indicative of being correct. I feel bad for you.

You're right. That's not logical. I just hope that they do have a big home win soon because it feels like way too long

actually, u got punked bigtime by todays poll news. again.
is there anything in this life that makes u smile?
shore don't seem like it. ever.
i mean, seriously. every team, in every sport that you 'like'- it's always the same. 'fire the coach! fire the gm! fire everrbuddy! we stink! everrbuddy is better! who peed in my coffee today? fire 'em!'
bbut u know hoops/hardball/football/tiddlewinks.....

sumone else,
'Most of the hating fans are probably young,'
no. actually it's the burnt out and miserable old timers, who have long ago forgotten the concepts of play, joy, fun, in an imperfect world.
pro tip:
"All Star"
Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me
I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed
She was looking kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb
In the shape of an "L" on her forehead

Well, the years start coming and they don't stop coming
Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running
Didn't make sense not to live for fun
Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb

So much to do, so much to see
So what's wrong with taking the back streets?
You'll never know if you don't go
You'll never shine if you don't glow

Hey, now, you're an all-star, get your game on, go play
Hey, now, you're a rock star, get the show on, get paid
And all that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars break the mold

It's a cool place and they say it gets colder
You're bundled up now wait 'til you get older
But the meteor men beg to differ
Judging by the hole in the satellite picture

The ice we skate is getting pretty thin
The water's getting warm so you might as well swim
My world's on fire. How about yours?
That's the way I like it and I'll never get bored

Hey, now, you're an all-star, get your game on, go play
Hey, now, you're a rock star, get the show on, get paid
And all that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars break the mold

Go for the moon
Go for the moon
Go for the moon
Go for the moon

Hey, now, you're an all-star, get your game on, go play
Hey, now, you're a rock star, get the show on, get paid
And all that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars

Somebody once asked could I spare some change for gas
I need to get myself away from this place
I said yep, what a concept
I could use a little fuel myself
And we could all use a little change

Well, the years start coming and they don't stop coming
Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running
Didn't make sense not to live for fun
Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb

So much to do, so much to see
So what's wrong with taking the back streets?
You'll never know if you don't go
You'll never shine if you don't glow

Hey, now, you're an all star, get your game on, go play
Hey, now, you're a rock star, get the show on, get paid
And all that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars break the mold

And all that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars break the mold
stress kills. all that cortisone rotting away ur innards.
