It’s weird that we have not played a team that’s currently in the top 10.

8 is right where we should be.

Duke gets smashed by a bubble team, moves down 1 spot. You just have to laugh at this point
We all knew it was coming . But in most of the polls this year we have been 3-5 spots lower then where we should be . Now only 1. We all know SDSU isn' t as good as UK but they deserve still be ranked higher. Duke does not . If we loses to Texas A&M by 22 tomorrow we will drop 10-15 spots. And that isn't an exaggeration.

Not trying to start an argument, but honestly what about SDSU's resume makes a case for them to be ahead of us or even in the top 10?

Only 4 teams ahead of us I’d like to try and avoid. Kansas, Baylor, FSU, and Gonzaga. Bring on the rest. As far as seeding goes, you guys just need to expect a 4 seed and be pleasantly surprised if it’s anything higher than that.

If the Cats lose by 22 tomorrow night they should drop out of the poll and go to next four out

Unless we win out, they're going to give us a 4. Any loss and we're going to drop multiple spots, and the narrative seems to be baked in that the SEC sucks and Evansville is an anchor on us.


Michigan State has received the benefit of the doubt all season that they are talented and will put it together anytime despite all their losses. Meanwhile UK has been unable to shake the stigma that we aren't as talented as we usually are despite our bad losses being in November and December.

Frauds in durham and SDSU should have dropped further. NC State owned them from tip to buzzer. Not even a game. SDSU lost a .500 team at home. These pollsters are just hacks with agendas.
They have to prop up the frauds hopes of a 1 seed so they can't allow them to fall too far. SDSU is their fairy tale story this year so they want to keep that going.
It's really funny to watch them spin their little webs.

Just curious what your thoughts are on what would happen if the rolls were reversed and UK was #6, lost by 22 to an average opponent, teams 7 and 9 lost and Duke was #10. Where do you think UK would have dropped to and Duke moved up to? Based on past experiences I am betting they would have probably switch spots with Duke moving to at least 7th and UK dropping to 10th from getting drubbed by a marginal opponent.


Not defending Duke, but they were #6. #7 lost, #9 lost and #8 jumped them. They would have dropped further if teams behind them didn't lose.

It really feels like it's "Kentucky vs. The World" sometimes when it comes to the media. Like someone else said, you just have to laugh at this point.
Shouldnt be but it is.
Jealousy and hatred of the greatest tradition in college basketball fuels it.
