Wait UCONN is still in?

UC

Wait UCONN is still in?

Such a joke. UConn can go into a free fall, lose 6 of their last 8 and still be in.

17 votes in AP and 24 votes in Coaches a sign of respect considering we have lost to Mich State and Iowa in last 2 weeks and neither one getting votes in AP and Michigan State only 3 in Coaches. Quite a change from 4 weeks ago when we won 7-8 and couldn’t sniff the AP poll.

That loss to Eastern Illinois is really hurting them. No Murray is a huge factor though.

It could get worse with league parity causing Purdue to be the only team in top 25 NCAA rankings.

Nice, want IU ranked when we beat them again

 

[Perricone7]

The whole ranking system is fairly silly. I’d argue you’re more likely to get ranked by losing 4 in a row then winning 4 in a row, as opposed to a win then a loss. Also, who is picking FAU over any of the 25-40 teams on a neutral court?

AP is garbage.

yes, we all like to those little numbers...
