Undeserved, but not shocked

 

[UKWildcats1987]

Charity.

 

[WeWant9]

This is one year the pollsters have done all they can to try and keep UK ranked.

 

[know1]

Slightly better than I figured.

But unfortunately our lowest rank all year. Not what you want near mid February.

 

[BBNinSC]

Everyone is losing this year. The tournament will be wide open.

 

[Sejonesy]

This is one year the pollsters have done all they can to try and keep UK ranked.

Not really, just shows how mediocre this year has been in CBB. All but a couple teams outside the top 3 have 5-8 losses. Not making excuses for UK’s poor play lately, but somebody has to be there

Undeserved, but not shocked

I'm shocked, and you're right, definitely undeserved.

8 loss Wisconsin in front of us still as well. You have 5 loss teams ranked 4,5,6,7, 9 and 10th. A 6 loss team ranked 8th. 7 loss teams ranked 15th and 17th.

No excuses for our poor performances as we should have a better record but for anyone actually paying attention almost every team has a lot of losses.

Exactly this. Seems posters have a hard time realizing this.

 

[L.O.D.]

Was Ellen voting? Glad still in top25 no idea how we are though

 

[Creed Bratton]

Yep I agree that it isn't deserved based on the last 3 weeks.

 

[Kerry Kat]

Wisconsin and Kentucky getting some love.

Just a wild guess, because I’m not going look at everyone’s record.. Im guessing those teams have more quality wins than UK, we basically got one good one vs unc. I’d also think their losses aren’t as bad as the ones UK has taken this year, especially at home.

UK isn’t winning the games it needs to and is losing multiple head scratching games. Im sure any of the teams you mentioned, would be favored over UK on a neutral court.

Indiana State ranked for the first time since Bird.

#20 in Coaches Poll

 

[CatPhight]

Enjoy it while you can, this could very likely be the last week we'll be ranked for a while...a loss tomorrow night likely drops us to 7th in the $EC with Vandy @ A&M and LSU @ Florida

After seeing what Few did to us, Ole Piss is probably adjusting their game plan for 50+ pick and rolls...

Wow...124th that pretty much says it all...and yet still not one minute of zone...

 

[true blue1]

It's nice to be ranked but at this point it's meaningless.

 

[permdaddy]

This is the exact blueblood treatment many fans swear other teams get that we don't. This team does not deserve to be in the top 25. We honestly shouldn't be getting more than a handful of votes.

 

[CaptainBoogerBuns]

 

[STL_Cat]

Gift.

 

[Boyd94]

The only good thing about being ranked is its easier to look up the schedule. Another thing, Wisconsin lost 4 in a row and is still ranked. Dang!

 

[MidseasonTweak]

Should be unranked the rest of the year.

 

[JonathanW]

I usually think we are under-ranked. But I think this one is generous.

 

[ruppcat]

Everyone is losing this year. The tournament will be wide open.

Not everyone....well, at least not losing like UK.

HOW?

 

[ukjenning44]

I don’t know how we’re still ranked.

If I was their coach I’d have had a Sunday practice to do nothing else

They probably did exactly that.
