Top 25

I hate these ranking organizations first but the idea that we’re not top 25 is lunacy, but let them not rank us.

OT but I would like to commend you of your proper use of the phrase, “couldn’t care less.” Possibly the most misused phrase out there. I cringe every time I hear, “could care less.”

I read your post and quite frankly my dear, I couldn’t care less.:rolleyes:

Finishing the regular season ranked in the top 25 is a huge accomplishment and a great recruiting tool. Of course we want to be ranked. I can't imagine thinking otherwise.

Would you rather be in the top 25 heading into the Dance or after the Dance is completed? You only get to choose one.

Wrong response. Shabazz and his crew had expectations. They were a 4th seed. The topic was talking about teams that won with no expectations. Kemba and Carmelo's teams were not ranked or seeded high

You have it mixed up but it’s all good. Shabazz team in ‘14 was a 7 seed and I wouldn’t say had “expectations”. Kemba’ team was actually ranked as high as 4th, we won Maui and was unbeaten in our OOC schedule. We were a 3 seed that year as well
 
I'd like to see us go into the BET as "others getting votes" (carrying a chip) and into the NCAA top 20.
 
Only on the boneyard do we have fans arguing if we should be ranked. Of course we want to be ranked. Just like Nova is every year. It helps the program like it did for us in the past. People saying otherwise absolutely have no clue what they're talking about.

Yeah, but it's kind of a cool tough-guy thing to say you don't care.

Um, no. Rankings don’t mean squat. Do you really care what a bunch of sportswriters from Iowa think of us? I don’t. I care about our performance on the court. And nothing else.

Winning and playing real good now is huge not being ranked #25.

But hope some of you get your wish, I could care less I don’t need that to see how our Huskies are playing.

I see what youre saying but do you honestly, seriously being honest do you think there are 25 teams playing better basketball than this team? I want to be ranked and hopefully its a big jump in the 25. There has been too much doom and gloom around here the last 5 years and it seems many posters are still hungover from it and are afraid of any success because "we want to fly under the radar". Nonsense!!! THIS IS UCONN!!!! WE DONT FLY UNDER THE RADAR WE FLY AT THE HIGHEST ALTITUDE, LEAD THE FORMATION AND DROP BOMBS ON WHOEVER GETS IN THE WAY OR WE GET SHOT DOWN IN A BLAZE OF GLORY FIGHTING TILL THE END.

Thankfully for all of us Danny isn't recruiting middle aged dudes from the yard. I can assure you young kids look at rankings and the national presence of a team. Being ranked like Nova in a non power 5 and gaining that respect again is extremely important going forward.

I know. I admitted error. I was drinking the wrong stuff. Lol
 
Wouldn't mind seeing a number next to our name next game but flying under the radar and being underestimated has its advantages also.

Thats fools gold. Do you think Uconn is "flying under the radar" when whichever top seed gets us in the bracket? You think Mark Few isnt going to notice our name at all in his bracket? You thin none of the other teams will notice us? Lol! I just get this weird picture in my head of Duane Johnson dressed very casually with shades on waiting in line to see one of his movies hoping nobody notices him in line😂🤣
 
Let’s worry about being ranked next Monday shall we? We are scary as hell to everyone who is paying attention. That’s enough right now. Nobody wants to play this team.

I said under the radar, not irrelevant. What you think about in your spare time is none of my business but other than for about 5 minutes, we haven't been ranked and have been on the bubble for weeks up until our nice run now. Personally, I think we have the tools to win it all and yes I'm sure Mark Few will look at every team in his bracket, but I think there will be other teams at the forefront of his mind if we happen to be there only because we've been banged up all year and haven't had much buzz until now. So from that standpoint, yes, if we end up as a 5-6-7 seed, I think we're a little under the radar. But, that can change if we run the table in the BET.

Virginia playing right now and winning. Va Tech had their game cancelled. Loyola playing in their tournament final tomorrow. Purdue won. Colorado won.

Wisconsin playing at Iowa tomorrow is our best shot for a slot to open up.

Wisconsin loses. There is our crack.

Exellent post. I want to be the team they all hate because we are bullies and do not accept losing. We were at that level for quite some time and it was fun. Flying under the radar is nonsense.

Also, Seth Davis just ranked us #20 in his weekly top 25 5 minutes ago. !!

They are approaching mid-season form. Fortune will have them playing 3 more games, preferably all W's, before the big dance. They have so much more upside, they need these games!
