Unanimous #1

[TheChamps990411]

Remember that one writer that kept Jeter from being a unanimous first ballot Hall of Famer? He's probably a college hoops voter too.

Disgraceful.

 

[UconnU]

Thanks Jay.

Cooper Flagg should reconsider.

 

[ucp990411]

Cooper Flagg should reconsider.

He wanted to be part of “the brotherhood “ rather than win a national championship and learn to play basketball the right way by playing for the best and most demanding coach in the country.

Cooper Flagg should reconsider.

at this point we should be a hard pass

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

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

And I've got the t-shirt!!

Who knows if they can win it all, but this is the best UConn BB team I’ve ever seen.

Been watching since the 1970's and I have to agree. The gam eon Saturday was a matchup of top 4 teams in the country. UConn looked like the Harlem Globetrotters out there it was so lopsided...

The best teams can lose and the Tournament has it's own magic but if we play like we've been playing there isn't a better program in the NCAA.

AP poll unanimous too

 

[Austin316]

Good guys are unanimous #1 in AP as well.

Marquette dropped 3 to #7
Creighton up 2 to #15 (nice)

UConn is unanimous No. 1 in AP Top 25. No. 21 Washington State ends 302-week poll drought

UConn became the first unanimous No. 1 in The Associated Press men's college basketball poll this season, earning all 62 votes from a national media panel.

love this part of the article. Reads like Greek Mythology to me... but along with many of you, I was there.

"UConn is riding the second-longest streak at No. 1 in school history behind a 10-week stay during the 1998-99 season, when the team coached by Jim Calhoun and led by Richard Hamilton and Khalid El-Amin beat Duke for the national championship."

 

[Hunt for 7]

Yep those NET rankings are spot on by placing us at four.

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 Dan Hurley

 

[Hunt for 7]

Purdue this year November in the coaches poll and early January in the AP poll.

So it was last January (23) for AP poll and Purdue being unanimous. My bad.

 

[Kolumbo]

Yormark was this close to being a big time winner

 

[Hunt for 7]

By not voting for us, voters will get their names publicized, while voting for us they are individually ignored. That will be too high a mountain for 100% of voters to climb.

Hmmmm….

Cooper Flagg should reconsider.

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

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.

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.

 

[YoungFree]

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).

 

[Tenspro2002]

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 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 another step along the way in the fulfillment of Hurley's unprecedented (re-)building job.

We should be proud.

FIFY

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