Every Team Is Losing

[AuRevoirAAC]

15 of the Top 25 teams had losses this week. Another reason for everyone to relax. It’ll be interesting to see where we end up tomorrow now that we’ve stopped the bleeding, maybe 20? Also, I’m anxiously waiting to see if Creighton lands in the rankings. Not only would that mean 5 Big East teams in the T25, but gives us another crack at getting a ranked win on the road next Saturday.

(1) Purdue
(2) Tennessee
(6) Virginia
(7) Kansas St (2x)
(8) Kansas
(11) Baylor
(12) Gonzaga
(13) Iowa State
(15) TCU
(17) Providence
(19) FAU
(20) Clemson (2x)
(21) Indiana
(22) SDSU
(25) Auburn

I think we will be around 21 given who lost this week.

 

[J187Money]

I'm not worried about this at all - take care of business - we have 7 league games left - we will be favored in 6 of them (other than @ Creighton). 24-7 we would be close to being back in the top 10.

Beating the muskrats at home would go a long way to evaluating where this team is at. Losing makes them .500 in conference again which isn't all that impressive. They've gotta get to what 21 wins before the B.E. tourney, yet they could still finish with the most wins of any BE teams. long story short, just win.

A 20 point lead vs. DePaul got cut to 6 before putting it away, and we were down to Georgetown with just over 3 minutes left. Managed to close both games out for a 2-0 week

By the eye test, very underwhelming week where BE bottomfeeders looked really good against us for big chunks of each game.
But by circumstance, we could sneak into the top 20 given that #19, 20, 21, 22 all lost

Anarchy?

I think we’re also learning that the Big East is the best conference in basketball this year. No game is easy, and that goes for everyone in the conference.

Not even close but far from the “joke” some claimed after the non con slate.

The Big 12 is better

If it’s not the best it’s very damn close to being the best. Unfortunately we were the only team that really carried our weight in the OOC schedule

 

[rayrayfor3]

I think fair to say definitely top 3 conference. I think it’s a negligible difference between the BE and SEC. Big 12 is the best this year. Then Big 10 and ACC. Does the pac12 even exist?

If everybody jumps off a skyscraper that means its ok if you do too?
I don't care what other teams do. I care what UConn does and we don't know what team will show up on any given day. That's unsettling.
IF they beat Marquette, Creighton and PC then I feel good about where they are heading
It's late in the season and time to take care of business.

We won title after being 500 in the conference

Just saying.

2-0 in that conference

 

[mauconnfan]

2-0 in that conference

That 2-0 team hasn’t shown up all that much as of late though. Still hope but just saying wish we were playing as well as when we played Iowa St for sure, even Ok St.

True, but Kemba Walker is not walking through that door.

But maybe another legend will. We don't know who's a legend until they become a legend y'know

On 2/6/2011, nobody was projecting what was about to happen (or 2/6/2014 for that matter)

The logical choice for legend would have to be Hawkins but I'll take anyone.

creighton is #16 in the NET, highest team in the NET that isnt ranked.

And with only 15 wins, 6 in a row.
