Uconn rightly picked up Duke's 2 first place votes from last week.

What's the deal with Syracuse going up in the rankings after being pasted by UConn? The Orange have played only 7 teams with a winning record (4 of them from the Big East) and lost to one team with a losing record.

I spotted that too. Makes no sense. Another paper tiger (albeit a stronger paper tiger than last year).

Good question.

Some of the coaches must think if a team goes into a top five's arena and doesn't lose by 50 they're better than most people thought.

 

[Man-Man]

It was said that they scored the most points or over the average against UConn and there was another stat was said but I can't remember right now.

The poll looks right to me. Until we beat Baylor. BU UConn ND top 3. Next 3 UK Duke Stanford. They could move around. When UConns Bria and Kiah get up to speed UConn will be almost unbeatable. Having Stef in the middle with Bria KML and Breanna one the wings well thats just crazy good.

Yikes! Villanova is #25! 15-2...I know one of their losses is to UDel with EDD playing.
Have they beaten anybody good? Syracuse at 'Nova on Saturday.

... Syracuse at 'Nova on Saturday.

Looks like after that game somebody's escutcheon will be sullied. Or somebody's skull will be luncheon.
