10 or 11.
Seth Davis can be a troll but he’s usually not a total moron. Jeff Goodman is a troll and a professional idiotkinda surprised Seth is giving us an 8. Him and Goodman are our biggest critics. Goodman was doing his typical bs the other day saying how he's known Hurley a long time but still doesnt trust that UConn can win the whole thing cause of him and that we have a lack of PG that's going to make it tough.
Slow day at work so I dug into it a bitI'm sorry the fact that so many of these AP writers have us 14 and lower is ridiculous. Every metric has us top 10. We have dominated the last month and then some. Judging us by the St Johns loss still is absurd. Its just 1 spot but you can't look at us and think this team doesn't belong in the top 13 yet 14 voters did.
The B12 is good but some people may be a bit carried away with just how good they think it is.I don't get the love for Baylor. They got pummeled by Marquette, and they lost home and away to Iowa State, who we dominated on a neutral court. They're OK, I guess, but the eye test and metrics would certainly seem to indicate we're better.
Playing to their ranking means just beating Providence. The semi-final match up is against a higher ranked Marquette.So the predictive metrics has UConn as a 2 seed, performative metric (AP) have them as a 3. Really difficult to see the team any lower than that if they play to their ranking in BET
Would have been nice to be #10, but at least we jumped Virginia, who is still overrated.
1-1 in MSG would be disappointing but should still be deserving of a 3Playing to their ranking means just beating Providence. The semi-final match up is against a higher ranked Marquette.
yeah we might already be on the 3 line because of that. they cant go on a deep run in the SEC tourney though.Voters took Tennessee's loss of Zeigler as very significant.
