[drew_ukfan_rivals]

Big ole leap

 

[Mike-D]

I said 5 or 6.

 

[paul.ksr]

Thanks for posting this

 

[Runt#1969]

Well ! Better than even ole' optimistic me could've predicted ! I thought they'd keep UK out of the top 5 or 6 for sure.

Go Big Blue !

 

[G-Bloo]

Awesome! I thought #7.. Hope to keep winning and get a great seeding come March

 

[Cowtown Cat]

I said 5 or 6.

I thought 4 or 5. Really, 5 just made the most sense.

jk, but seriously, there's another thread already

 

[BlueBomb]

I feel like we're finally relevant again!

 

[Cawood86_rivals]

Nice

I'll be quite honest, and I truly mean what I m saying. Aside from NCAA Tournament seeding I couldn't care any less about if we are ranked #1 or not ranked at all. I enjoy flying below the radar but I understand that we will be ranked high. I honestly take great pride in watching our Cats pounce on teams that think they are strong and then punch em in the mouth!!!. It feels sooo good to rip the heart outta opposing teams/fans. I relish it!!!

G O B I G B L U E !!!!

Then you must not care about season success or the tourney seed. Both are directly related to the AP rankings.

Im writing that down so i know to pay attention to your future posts.

 

[howercat]

What? That's exceeds expectations. Just win baby

I piss excellence.

Exactly, there is a correlation between rankings and tournament seeding. 1 and 2 seeds simply have an easier path. Dook has for decades manipulated the polls through the pollsters that constantly bolster the rankings and thus their seed.

And insecurity.

And insecurity.

Says the guy getting bent out of shape on a message board over another poster rehashing a statement they made on Sunday.

Now go log out.

Would have been #4 if Ohio State had beat Purdue which was why I was confused at those rooting for Purdue to win.

 

[STL_Cat]

If this team can hold the line they get a 1 seed. That’s huge. Been 7 years since our last NCAA tournament 1 seed.

 

[Tim Higgins]

Top 5 in the nation a few weeks ago people were comparing this to the end of the Tubby Smith era? Give me a break it’s not even in the same solar system as that

 

[*CatinIL*]

CATS are setting themselves up for a 1 seed.

 

[UK-Chulo]

We are Duke this year! Everyone loves Oscar. That’s got to be the reason.

 

[Louis_Skunt]

Have you thought about working for Vegas odds?

 

[pauled#1]

Lunardi probably moved us up to a 4 seed!

I think we are very much in the mix for a 1 seed, other teams are going to lose games.
Heck, Baylor is down 8 at home to Wva at halftime right now and they go to KU this Saturday. They could lose 3 in a row.

Baylor has already lost 2 games at home. This would be 3. That's not a sign of a very good team.

#1 seed back in play!! Season just reset. Doesnt happen often you drop to #20 and make it back to the top 5 ...in a months time. Normally you fall to #20 you are FUKED with all capitals to make it all the way back to #5 in a span of a WHOLhE FREAKING season.

Good thing about this team is nobody in the top five can deal with THE BIG O. I just don't see how we are not at least in the Elite 8 pencilled in with Oscar's rebounding and to a devoloping degree.. steals. He is stealing the ball ALoT lately. No way we can be beat in the first 3 games. I dont see it.

3 of their best players are injured. Ouch for them

Yeah sad for them.

Looks like they are winning anyway.

Yup, they gritted this one out. Tough win
