Look more like a Football poll than the basketball poll. Six of the top 10 are SEC
Duke will be #1 soon because the ACC is terrible.
And that is why Louisville will probably be ranked pretty soon too because the ACC sucks
To be honest thats why UK was ranked that high for many many years. The SEC sucked bad
SEC was down in Cal's early years, but not down like the ACC is.
Yeah, some of the SEC's worst years, they might have gotten 3 or 4 teams in.. But this ACC conference might just get 2, maybe 3. On top of that, it's not like years where the SEC might still have decent seeds, even if only a handful of teams get in.. It's literally going to be Duke 1-seed, Louisville 8-seed, and UNC might be a 10-seed. That's REAL bad. a major conference should still have someone else in that 6-3seed line.
ACC is currently projected to get 5 in with Duke, Pitt, Clemson, Louisville and UNC. However Pitt is a projected 7 seed, Clemson and Louisville 9 seeds, and UNC a 10 seed. If they slip up against the other non-tournament ACC teams they could all fall out.
Not to take anything away from Mississippi State because I think they are a really good team but what do you think the chances UK loses at home and only goes down one spot in the AP are?
One thing is certain, this team will be tested in tough, close games when March gets here.
Pope and Brooks should both be in the running for Coach of the Year imho
The SEC was horrific Cals first 6 years here. Just one example - his first year 2010 when Cousins tipped it in at the buzzer against MSU to go to OT of the SEC final. MSU was the #1 seed in the SEC West, lost in overtime of the SEC final, and still didn’t make the tournament.
Why not Brooks? I don’t think the team is good enough to challenge South Carolina or LSU but the turnaround in year one has been amazing and doing it with a team entirely made up of transfers.
It's funny, I didn't realize HOW bad until I looked at some of the seasons. Just bad coaching hires for years.
Still, I think the ACC is gonna compete with some of those seasons for worst year.
Ok i was thinking for some reason football. But yes now that my brain is working better I agree on Brooks (WBB Coach). He has done a great job so far. Sorry for the brain freeze.
