ESPN gets it right

[RedStickHusky]

top-10 teams finished 9-10 on the week -- with nine of the losses coming to unranked opponents

 

[UConNick]

r/CBB user poll incredibly has a tie between us and Purdue for number one. However, because Purdue got ONE more first-place vote (51 to 50), it looks like they get the official nod. Grrrrrr

Odd that nobody wants to outright acknowledge that we’ve kept strong without Clingan. These same services hyped him up plenty to start the year, but his absence is being glossed over now. If KU was staying strong without Dickinson, it would be plastered over every discussion surrounding KU.

Despite losing to the only 2 actual teams they've played, Houston got 4 votes.

They also have UNC up to 3.

Load up on Quad 3 and Quad 4 and beat the living crap out of them. Same approach every year.

We like that. Especially with Gonzaga floundering

It's not really relevant to polls. They rate you as you are now, which is without Clingan. So it doesn't matter that we've been very good (but not dominant) without him.
