Unanimous #1

Cooper Flagg should reconsider.

He made it very clear with his choice that he wants to be pampered rather than coached.

 

[Hunt for 7]

He made it very clear with his choice that he wants to be pampered rather than coached.

If he falls short of maximizing his generational talent he will have to live with this decision the rest of his life. He has one year to build the thick skin that will be needed to get through his first year or two in the nba. That won’t happen at Dook.

Stop and smell the roses for a minute. I know it’s just a silly number. But it’s still special and means something especially given the dark days and we are now all the way back. Trust in DH

Enjoy it, embrace it, never take today's success for granted and remember that there's still much more work to be done this season. Still 5 more regular season games left before the BE Tourney, then of course, the Big Dance.

On to Creighton. One step at a time.

Absolutely love it!!

What is the Purdue bias though? Lose to a 14-11 team and only drop 1 spot?

But he will have a five month extended photo op in a Dodger blue basketball jersey against Georgia Tech, BC and Louisville, so yay Coop!

To be fair, every below them has 2+ more losses (other than #16 Dayton).

We don't print t-shirts in February, but this is an incredible accomplishment for our program, especially on the heels of a championship, and demonstrates the fulfillment of Hurley's unprecedented (re-)building job.

We should be proud.

There was a big, big gap between the top 3 and everyone else.

We should be proud.

FIFY

Who else would you put ahead of them besides us and Houston?

When’s the last time a team was unanimous in both polls in the same week?

 

[WhereistheDove?]

Because #4 has worse metrics and has lost 5 games, including two bad losses to Oregon state and Stanford.

Purdue last year

I don't hate that Purdue only dropped 1 since there was separation of the top three teams from the rest, although it was to an unranked team on the road. But disappointed Marquette dropped 3 spots, losing to the #1 team on the road.

We got the A+
UConn across the social medias must be fire right now.

"No. 1 UConn delivered a statement that sent shockwaves across the college landscape Saturday with a 28-point home beatdown of top-five Marquette that made the Huskies the easy choice for an 'A+' earner -- the only one -- on this week's report. UConn dismantled DePaul on the road 101-65 earlier in the week then treated the No. 4 Golden Eagles like DePaul in the XL Center a few days later. Only Houston has as many wins of 28 points or more on the season as UConn, and there's a strong case to be made that no other team has the combination of impressive wins over elite competition than the Huskies -- whose résumé includes victories over five ranked teams. All five of those wins came by double-digit margins."

College basketball rankings, grades: UConn earns 'A+', Purdue gets 'D' on weekly report card

The Huskies put together one of the most impressive weeks of any team this season

I like sending shockwaves and treating opponents like DePaul. Let’s go!

 

[FearThePups]

Yormark was this close to being a big time winner

Yeah, but the carpetbagger only wanted basketball and no football and I believe offered us an insulting share. I said at that time our basketball programs are elite and the brand is worth many times more.

 

[FearThePups]

Gotta love Jay bilas. He's got it right!!

UConn - the collegiate basketnall capitol of the world!!!!

And I've got the t-shirt!!

Jay Bilas is a great analyst. He’s always been fair, impartial and truthful. So, given this, I don’t regard him in the same light as I do for other Dookies.

Marquette might not have dropped 3 spots if we hadn’t pummeled them by 28 points.

 

[storrsroars]

Lotta movement at the bottom - 5 teams added that were unranked last week. I do hope Wash St. doesn't end up an 8 in our bracket. I think they'll end up a 7 maybe 6, and depending on draw, could take out a 2 or 3 seed on first weekend.

Big news in our household... couple of weeks ago Pitt didn't even look like it would make NIT. Four votes this week! Wife is a happy girl.

Are you sure about this? I never heard anything about an actual offer.

If you can provide a link showing that we were in fact offered it would be greatly appreciated

 

[husky429]

I know we like to rag on kids who don't come here, but I've only ever heard wonderful things about the entire Flagg family. Duke has a very, very good recruiting pitch.

I believe you’re right. We weren’t officially offered membership. What was floated and reported was to take UConn basketball only, no football and no full share.

Let's put it a different way...do you think Wash St. wants to be put as an 8 in our bracket?

 

[superjohn]

I get the vibe he wanted to come to UConn but everyone expected him to go to Duke, especially his family.

 

[heffe]

Let's see the no1, no1 should be playing the no4, no2....Duke...That might be fun with Cooper rocking that baby.
