Re: Top 25 polls
Not as valid as mine.
We shouldn’t need to rely on cupcake blowouts to maintain a ranking.
We should instead just maintain our standard of not getting our asses kicked.

Re: Top 25 polls
Arguing two different things. No question we were in bad form for several weeks.
Argument here is that there's a human element to weekly polls.

Re: Top 25 polls
I think it's a really weak season and COVID is probably a part of it.
OU a Top 10 team? Even in our worst stretch we played them pretty evenly.
KU 2020 would be -3 against Gonzaga 2021.

Re: Top 25 polls
this will be three weeks in a row where we play in in-conference foe ranked ahead of us, in spite of having an inferior resume.
OSU, TTU, and now UT.
Even though we had better records, better SOS, and were ahead in the conference standings.
The ONLY thing making me hesitate about the UT game is the ass-kicking they gave us...maybe they're just a bad matchup for us...otherwise I think we win in Austin. They're in the middle of a possible meltdown. Players fighting on the sidelines, lost 5 of their last 8, etc.

I only came to kick some ass...

Re: Top 25 polls
Only 7 games behind UK now in all-time wins. KU is at 2,319 and UK is at 2,326.
Re: Top 25 polls
UK may have an unfair advantage and get to play in the NIT.
But maybe not b/c we know what happened last time they were in the NIT.

Does Kentucky even make the NIT?
They’re 7-7 in conference, 8-13 overall

Re: Top 25 polls
Given UK's resources, they are probably in. You'll see teams opt out of NIT, if it's even played.
Re: Top 25 polls
In the top 20 in Kenpom at 19.
Very good defense at 9th.
Worst offense since 06, at 50.
I know there’s a lot of posters who just don’t see this team being contenders next season but I think we can be a team like 07. Not the top seed but a low 1 high 2.

Re: Top 25 polls
contenders? I think we might be front runners. this team has improved so much over the last month we could be a dark horse this season
assuming we only lose marcus.. maybe och?
but if we have
Bryce
Christian
Och
Jalen
Dmac
and another year of progress from the rest of the squad... next year could be really really good
Re: Top 25 polls
I agree.
That’s a top 5 team.

Re: Top 25 polls
Who’s our point guard in that bunch? Bryce? Has he even shown any flashes that he can be a solid ball handler that can really distribute and blow past his defender when we really need someone to get to the hoop? Isn’t that the same problem we’ve had this year?randylahey wrote: ↑Sun Feb 28, 2021 1:36 pmcontenders?

I’m not going to argue, that is a nice group, but again, who’s our answer at pg?
Re: Top 25 polls
Bryce and a transfer.
Re: Top 25 polls
Dajuan will only get better too.
And it’s kinda weird to say but Jalen’s got handles too

Re: Top 25 polls
I agree with both, and I actually think Jalens handles are better than MG’s. But I think we can all agree that neither DH nor JW are the elite point guard that this team desperately needs.
Re: Top 25 polls
True.
Even without a transfer, Harris and Bryce will be better and I think enough to lead a much improved team.
RussRob wasn’t so impactful his freshman year—you could see Harris taking a similar path.
