uconn/nova

[G-Unit]

i may have missed something but how is nova ahead of uconn in the polls

[Goodbye Forever]

Villanova lost to WVU by 4, while UConn lost to Marquette by 25.

but uconn beat lsu and are 12-1 while nova is 10-1........i guess it could go either way...but florida 2?

[hockey0001]

Because Uconn has been terrible lately and just played like 4 cupcakes in a row, and then got crushed in their 1st real game since Maui, and then barely beat LSU

When your undefeated and the teams in front of you lose ...you move up. Hence, Florida is #2. They're deserving of that spot too until they lose a game.

[G-Unit]

well conference play has just started......i forgot nova beat louisville....but before that they hadnt done much either

[Goodbye Forever]

They beat Oklahoma as well.

The SEC is weak this year, Florida may very well go undefeated (though I think they lose away at LSU or Kentucky).

[LeftWideOpen]

Florida hasn't played a tough schedule, but they've beaten the teams presented to them and have done so in convincing fashion.

Duke is hands down #1 though ..wins against Memphis, Indiana, Texas, and Wake Forest ...nobody can touch that resume right now.

they should, they have no real challenges with the way their team is playing, theyr sophomores are awesome

Marquette is a bad loss, regardless of the score. The fact that it was by 25, I'm suprised they would stay in the top 5 honestly.

At least Gay got called out by his coach. "The only thing he showed up for was the starting line-up", if that doesn't fire him up, nothing will

Yep, with that weakened SEC they look good to be a 1 seed come tourney time. I don't think they will support the seed, probably only a Sweet 16 team, but they are gonna look pretty in the regular season.

Duke is hands down #1 though ..wins against Memphis, Indiana, Texas, and Wake Forest ...nobody can touch that resume right now.
With their schedule, they could lose a few games and still be #1 nationally come season's end, but I don't even think they lose a game. In the tourney, they will march their way to the Final Four, maybe with one team getting within 10 points of them. They are dominant right now.

yea gay has been disappointing thus far. yea i guess im giving marquette more credit then should considering theyr in the big east. uconn/cincy game is tight right now

Imagine if those Florida players had stayed at college, instead of going undrafted and rotting on NBA benches and in the NBDL (i.e. Matt Walsh, Anthony Roberson).

Totally agree about Duke. I thought this was going to be an incredible year for college hoops, but a lot of teams have been let-downs. I thought UCONN was the kind of team to avoid slip ups, along with Villanova. Texas looked like an elite team on paper, but haven't shown up for a few games.

There's still plenty of time for these teams to get their act together ..but right now it looks like Duke is in a class by itself.

there must be something about donovan that makes these kids want to get the hell out of there. i've never seen so many unqualified kids from one school declare early.

[G-Unit]

yea paulus and mcroberts add so much to the team, and now nelson is back

[leafsacc]

uconn was a little sloppy tonight against cincy, gay looks totally disinterested, but Hilton Armstrong continues to look good. Quality win against a good team, but they still have a lot to work on.

So much raw athleticism too. I see him being an NBA bust if he doesn't find motivation from somewhere. He is one of 3 or 4 players that HAVE to play well for their team to contend for the nat'l championship this year. Him and Daniel Gibson are two playes that should be leading dominant teams, but they aren't.

he could be an nba bust, but will still be picked first.....ok maybe top 3

uconn only beat lsu by 1. nova beat up on louisville.

[justinevans]

well LaSalle is 10-2 and they blew them out. Blew out Temple, beat louisville, started off amazing vs wvu and then idk what the fuck happened.

[G-Unit]

louisville is overrated

[justinevans]

louisville is overrated

they also beat oklahoma. i forgot about that.

[preppyak]

louisville is overrated
Their game with Pitt is gonna be battle of the over-rateds (now that Pitt is #12 or so)

he could be an nba bust, but will still be picked first.....ok maybe top 3
Oh yeah, he'll go high, but he needs the drive to be great
