Should have played UMASS's schedule. They have 1 victory over a 19th ranked New Mexico at home. Funny stuff. Junk science.

Seems stregthening our schedule, beating 2 ranked teams away from home, and having 0 bad losses isn't any better than lg to 2 or 3 ranked teams, and then running CUDA. Looks like we're heading to a similar seed.

Are you drunk already?

No. Just typing on a phone without my reading glasses. Now home on a laptop.

Corrected version:

There are definitely distinct variances in the polls, vs. how the selection committee evaluates and seeds teams. Hopefully we'll do better with the latter.

Seems strengthening our schedule, beating 2 ranked teams away from home, and having 0 bad losses isn't any better than losing to 2 or 3 ranked teams, and then running CUSA. Looks like we're heading to a similar seed.

Better?

if we'd beaten uconn we'd probably be 11 or 12. Such a huge loss momentum wise

It's weird to be in this position. Two home losses in conference play and we're still in the Top 25. If this had happened last year....

It's not over yet. Got to keep on winning and hope 2 out the 3 in UL, UConn and Cincy keep on winning and then we'll have even bigger games looming nationally along with them being significant conference games

Only other team with that number of losses higher is KU. KU has stronger resume, especially on the road however. Hilarious to hear media say things like "... this loss could impact UK's ability to make a run at the championship". Anyone else with this record and performance - laughable to suggest. They may not even win the SEC. They didn't even win the SEC last year, or make the NCAA - and lost big-time early in the NIT. Now with one "big" win at home and 4 losses, let's all figure out a way to get them in theson #1 national championship.

This is why the so-called "Bluebloods" will always stay on top. Pollsters are afraid to rate them where they belong leads to higher seeds and easier routes in the tourney, I'm really disappointed in GP for being scared to rate them in his 25 and one like he does if Memphis played their schedule and had the exact same results. When you rate them pre-season #1 it is almost impossible to fall out the polls. Same with UNC this year as well.

Blue Bloods will always be Blue Bloods
