OT: Louisville

[BFieldHusky]

I know they won't be ranked after this weekend (I hope) but how is Louisville, with 10 losses before the last week in Feb, ranked 18th?

 

[methodology]

They've been in free fall since that Duke implosion. They were lucky it wasn't 5 straight losses after escaping against Clemson 56-55

 

[Hi-Low]

A few good wins go a long way I guess but they will have an early exit from NCAA tourney.

They have two great wins over UNC and Michigan State and a good win over Va Tech but it is strange they are ranked 18. Meanwhile Kentucky is clearly playing the best basketball in the country right now.

 

[StepbackCity]

How about the job Chris Mack is doing though? Great hire

 

[alexd]

L-Ville's SOS is #7, even the new NET ranking has them at 18.
The "old" RPI has them at 27.

The only hire in the country that was better than Hurley. In 10 years, Hurley + Mack will be some of the biggest names in CBB.

You forgot to let the world know that Enoch was 1 for 10 with 3 points in 18 minutes. It isn’t a L’ville thread without Enoch

He’s only mentioned by a few when he plays well.

They scored 15 in the 2nd half today and a total of 49 last game. Not really explosive as of late.

The fact that Enoch’s a 6’11” red shirt jr that doesn’t even start says a lot about his development. Seems like a nice kid and I root for him but kinda a waste of size and athleticism. Carlton will have the better college career

I'm pretty measured on Enoch but don't pretend he wouldn't have as many minutes as he wants at UConn.

If they aren’t already

I agree but if he stayed here he’d be injured by now

 

[don356]

Whatever happened to the ncaa violations?

 

[donyell34]

Into thin air along with Carolina, zona, Kansas etc. etc. Doubt if 5*'s would be considering these schools if they think anything was going to happen.

If you can not trip over yourself for three straight games in the ACC, you’ll get votes in the polls. Same in football - win two straight and you’re ranked 23rd. It’s almost amazing how many ACC teams spend time ranked 23rd during the course of a season.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Whatever happened to the ncaa violations?

A couple fewer schollies and a one year ban I think?

 

[donyell34]

If there is a one year ban why are recruits going there. Maybe I missed it but haven't heard anything yet about any bans. Those schools will be in the tournament next year I'd bet on it.

 

[Scrutineer]

He'd also be a senior and we'd be worrying about his defense.

Carlton wasn’t behind anyone for the most part and handed the keys this year

 

[Bonk]

We should try to recruit Enoch back as a grad transfer if that's allowed. (Semi joking) but Louisville will have two centers more talented than him on next years roster, I'd easily take him back over Carlton

Enoch and Carlton would turn the 5 to a point of strength next year.
