Unanimous #1

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

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

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

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."

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

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.

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.
 
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

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

They've got little to nothing to lose so I don't think they'd care and might welcome it. They're the kind of team that can muck things up for us.

I'll just say it this way - of the teams that are making a late run for 6-8 seeds, they may the one I worry about most, assuming they don't implode in the PAC tourney. It'll be interesting to see how they play Zona on Thurs.

Clearly another casual fan failing to give due consideration to their body of work.

IDK...

Difference between losing by 4 on the road and being absolutely destroyed on the road?

Now, we all know that there is a world of difference between how well we are playing and Purdue, but 28 points?

That is more than enough to drop more than 2 pegs, I think.

How many times do people have to assume a conspiracy against UConn and be wrong? It's constant.

We can just use logic and assume that there is no anti-UConn bias...

Indeed. Sports writers are nowhere near smart enough to keep some kind of conspiracy quiet.

How is it Purdue bias?

4 Arizona: more and worse losses, and Purdue absolutely smacked them head to head (8 points, but Purdue led that game wire to wire and was up 15 in the second half.
5. Tennessee: more losses. Purdue beat them head-to-head.

Hard to imagine dropping a 3-loss team all that far, when all their losses are Q1.

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.

While I agree Hurley would prep him the best, by all accounts the kid come from a good family and has a good support system around him. If he underperforms his hyped potential, I don’t think his choice of 8 months in college will be the reason why, as fun as it would be to blame Duke for that.
 
And once again the top combined ranking between mens and womens, briefly held narrowly by South Carolina

Of course we're the unanimous #1 team in the country. After this weekend, there isn't a single stone unturned to make the argument otherwise. We have made it an unarguable reality that we are the best team in the nation right now.
 
Here is my current thought and mood:
Talents like Flagg come and go, there will always be next Flagg. But I’m just going to enjoy and savor the immense pride and success that Dan Hurley and our Huskies have brought to us fans, and smile knowing our program is trending up all time high and in good hands with Hurley!

I would not underestimate what a year of underperforming can do to a kid at that age and their confidence. You are probably right but if he comes up short and is a diva, I think we will have an idea that he was pampered and not developed. I admit I was on Hurley for not playing JStew more. Even now I worry about Ball. But if he can get Ross and Romo to come back I see real potential. Unfortunately Romo is a year behind. Point being when he puts JStew and Ball in the game even though they are not playing a lot they don’t hurt us at a minimum they maintain. And I said it earlier and stand by the idea that by the end of the year JStew is going to have a game where he makes some big shots. He is now capable of giving AK 5-7 minutes of rest without it hurting us.
