Which is also why I believe this team should currently be ranked in the top 10. Less than 5 other teams likely have quality neutral or road wins as we do.

It was interesting to see the pollsters cream their pants and promote Kentucky over Memphis in the rankings when Kentucky beat Louisville at home, after losing to every other decent team they've played. This was a bigger win since it was a road game, and we also have a top 5 neutral court win to boot. Time for the pollsters to man up and wise up.

Now, that is interesting and very telling. Wonder how many "haters/critics" have considered this or better yet, even know it and know the statistics Stammers provided?

Lets remember Kentucky played a better Louisville team...Even if it was at home.

Do you want a cookie?

LOL...Just pointing out a fact that may sway the pollsters to discount our win...That is all...

Pollsters do not think that hard. Hell, a good portion of them don't even independently think for themselves.

Just to show you how pointless your point was, and how you completely missed the original point...

Top 25
Home: 228-8, 96.7%
Away: 50-20, 71.4%

Good point. A little difficult to follow some of it, but I get it. Same point I made last month in arguing with some regulars who should know better. They were saying they expected a .500 record vs top 25. It just doesn't work that way.

The regular whats? You don't have to answer that; I know exactly who you mean.

the Pastner haters are low minded people.

the sad part is that they were given such a voice on here and on local radio, many real fans were taken in by the negativity.

Yep. What bothered me as much as anything was that "All I want for Christmas..." sign. That's our own fan buying the talking point and hyping the media in disrespect to our team and coach.

Excellent post. I've been saying this for years, nice of you to do the work to back it up.
