How is Houston w/ a loss and their cupcake schedule ranked ahead of Ky?

[HerrosHeroes]

Ill hang up and listen.
They damn sure better be ranked below UK next week after Bama beats them down tonight!

Kenpom has them at #1 with an L and the 287 SOS.
Farrrr Kenpom!!!

Houston's been a media and statistical darling the last few years. It helps that they actually dethroned Kansas last year. I hope they repeat that feat this season. Keep Kansas in the backseat for once.

 

[Bluegrass79]

And they've been living on borrowed time for a while now. Media seems to like to rank them high.
Almost guarantee they come back down to earth in the Big 12 this year.

Houston, they have a problem.

Why is everyone so hung up on where we are ranked?? Basketball has a tourney....comes out in the wash. Then again I see who the OP is so yeah.

Because the preseason polls - which are STUPID - dictate movement for the first month of the season.

Once again, OP’s sh*ting rainbow’s.. And I think Houston’s defense gives Alabama problems if they aren’t hitting 3’s 👍

Really?
Well the Vikings are 9-2 and winners of 4 straight with next 3 in MN; and UK is undefeated, beat then #6 Duke and are avg damn near 100 ppg.
So yeah, i actually am crapping rainbows right now!
Cup or Cone MM?
Stu, there is enough for you as well.

They have hated us for years.

Houston sometimes struggles to score and they are elite defensively. But you have to score in today's game.

After watching Iowa State last night, I would say they are the best team in the BIG12.

Lots of damn good teams this year, glad we're one of them.

I’m a Coog and I’m still not completely sold. They return everyone except Shead, but I just can’t see who’s replacing Shead as the guy quite yet. But still… Sampson toughness and Sampson D will carry a bit, and if they don’t have the injuries they had last year, who knows. Iowa State matches toughness tho (and auburn sure did as well). Coogs ranked top 3 in scoring defense, scoring margin, 3 point %, but going to need more scoring overall. Need to finally beat bama today.

UK and UH are fun to watch for different reasons… one lighting up the three point line and one lighting up the opp’s shot clock.

They are waning just a hair. But they are still a dang good team. I think that was one of Cal's best tourney wins. We beat a really really good Houston team that season in the E8.

That was a S16 win.
UK has not won an EE game in 10 yrs.

I couldn’t handle watching that game… that was a tough one. Then a year later as it turns out my daughter decided on UK and we’ve been all in on BBN since
