18 seems rather convincing...but with all of Bill Walton's ramblings it's hard to tell how many sports writers kept the game on
MSU went from unranked to #12 with a win over UK. Uconn just beat the two teams that beat the #1 team by a comb 34 points. If we dont see a similar climb i will lose my frikken mind.Anything less than #9 is disrespect. Just won every game by double digits in a perceived loaded tournament.
He’s a moronSeth Davis has us at 12. That’s gonna hurt our top 5 chances.
Was Karaban out or back for Virginia?Still a bad look to lose a close scrimmage to Virginia without Jackson?
Purdue is good. Steamrolled Duke and Gonzaga. Both those team may be overrated this year but Purdue whipped them. Houston is not the number 1 team in the country and they may voted there.Haven’t seen other schools play like Purdue or Houston, but I’ve seen enough BB over 40 years to know this is a very deep, talented team that just put the wood to 3 quality teams while often playing like garbage for substantial stretches yet having the ability to dominate when needed. Scary good.
So….7?I'll go for 8, but it should be closer to 6.
Here's my quick guess for the top ten:
1) Houston
2) Kansas
3) Texas
4) Virginia
5) Arizona
6) Purdue
7) UConn
8) Baylor
9) Indiana
10) Auburn
Baylor is my only one-loss team in the top-ten. They lost to Virginia, beat UCLA then a bunch of cupcakes.
BTW, it feels amazing to rank UConn seventh and not feel like a total homer. This is awesome!
