North Carolina drops five spots

[Waquoit]

Related note to the original post....bad weekend for UNC. They lose by 30+ at FSU and their 21st-ranked chicks just lost by 51 to our chicks. (86-35)

Plus, Roy bailed on the team with time left on the clock. What a phony.

Could you imagine the press if JC did that? Dopey Roy gets away with it.

Well, Roy had to make sure the rest of the team got to the locker room okay. The 5 walk-ons on the floor? The ones who would actually be in "harm's way" during a court storming? They were on their own.

How good is Murray State? Are they a legit team or are they a product of playing pretty much no notable competition except Memphis?

They should end the season undefeated. If they don't, they should drop down to the low 20s in the ranking. The conference they are in is just simply terrible. Let's just look at their RPI...

SE Missouri State - 265
Tennessee Tech - 163
Eastern Kentucky - 187
Morehead State - 211
SIU-Edwardsville - 315
Austin Peay - 242
Eastern Illinois - 208
Tennessee State - 253
Jacksonville State - 288
Tennessee-Martin - 299

the top 5 to start the year was unc,uk,osu,uconn and cuse. the only team that seems worthy of their preseason ranking has been cuse. uk has been good but their guard play is going to kill them in the tourney and osu has been good not great and uconn and unc have been disappointing thus far as they both have yet to play their best basketball.

Still this weekend, when I was watching the OSU game, the commentators mentioned that UNC, UK, OSU, UConn, Cuse are still the favorites to run all the way because they have the talent to. I'd tend to agree with them.
