Kyle Boone is convinced

[lonsharkin51]

And I quote ...

"If there were any doubts about which team is the best right now in college hoops ... well, then you've just admitted you haven't watched UConn. Dan Hurley's team smashed Xavier over the head with a sledgehammer Sunday by 43 points at home. Huskies are hashtag #good."

 

[Scot-e]

Who’s that?

 

[lonsharkin51]

The guy who gives out the weekly grades for CBS. We got an A+

 

[HooperScooper]

Who’s that?

CBSSports.com guy. He loves the Huskies. He was on to last year's team much earlier than anyone else.

We actually extended the lead with four freshmen in

Josh Boone was in the building today and was convinced first!

We actually extended the lead with four freshmen in

We certainly did, but it was largely against Twitter’s bench

 

[Tenspro2002]

We should be #1, not only in the polls, but in the power ratings too.

We were a 12-point favorite at home against #40 and won by 40.

Purdue were 10-point favorites on the road at #100 and were in a dogfight.

Both the ESPN and CBSSports power rankings already had UConn #1 this past week.

Was garbage time but after watching the Greek guy and the freshman, I actually feel better about next year’s team, although we do need a Big desperately.

 

[lonsharkin51]

It'll be interesting to see what Gary Parrish has to say in the Top 25 and 1. He's gone to great lengths to justify putting Purdue ahead of us. I'm dying to hear tomorrow's justification.

Seth Davis too. It pains Goodman to put UCONN as number 1.

He almost never changes without a loss

 

[tzznandrew]

He has a perfectly defensible position, though to be fair both teams are now 7-2 v. Q1.

Depends. are we voting on the best team or best resume? to me, they are two different things.

 

[TheChamps990411]

Agree. Purdue may have the better resume but we are the better team. We also have the best win between the two teams against UNC who is looking like a #1 seed right now. Duke lol!

 

[Huskybass]

43 point margin of victory is the largest in the conference in 18 years.

 

[Jaydumo20]

I do as well. If we keep looking like this it'll be hard to lose any developing players to the portal and it should be proven already as a transfer factory: the staff rarely whiffs. Salad days

 

[Tenspro2002]

Agree. Purdue may have the better resume but we are the better team. We also have the best win between the two teams against UNC who is looking like a #1 seed right now. Duke lol!

We and Purdue have virtually identical Q1/Q2 resumes. Are you telling me their resume is more impressive because more of their scrub games were Q3 instead of Q4? lol

 

[Waquoit]

I think I saw him at the game.

 

[87Xfer]

Agreed. Who's the most successful player who transferred OUT under Hurley?

Edit: never mind, Gaffney. And I'm super happy for him.

 

[Drame]

We also have 3 road quad 1 wins which should be rated higher, like quad 0 or something. Purdue has zero.

 

[TheChamps990411]

Nope. Wasnt saying that at all. Its the argument many are making. They can have it. We`re the better team.

 

[tzznandrew]

If they're identical otherwise... then logically yes.

If season ended today, they're still the overall #1.

That doesn't mean we're not a better team than them... because we are. But that isn't necessarily the question.

 

[tzznandrew]

Depends. are we voting on the best team or best resume? to me, they are two different things.

Oh, I agree. But Borzello has made it clear that he's going to be considering overall resume, so as long as he's consistent, I respect that.

Even though I know we're the best team at this stage in the season.

Speaking of Boones, I almost didn't recognize Josh today with the short hair
