New AP Poll Cats #9

[Cats192]

9 is a good spot considering we have UNC-W on our record

We're top 5 without that. Maybe top 3.

With a 5 point loss to KU and then the beat down of Miami and beating UNC, seems like the UNCW game would be seen a fluke by now. Sure that game cant be held against us all year. I mean it was a fluke,

Well it was like three games ago so let’s not pretend it was AFTER the Kansas and Miami game

Also, Colorado beating the brakes off Miami didn’t help much. I thought Miami would rebound and man up and go in and show how solid of a win it was.

We play to our potential a few more weeks and it will be looked at as a fluke.

Sadly, it can be held against us. That was a bad loss at home.

We have 2 potential Quad 1 Wins so far..
Miami
UNC

Tennessee will definitely a Quad 1 Win - hopefully we can at least split the two meetings or take a sweep!

Gonzaga, looks to be trending down and slipping to a Quad 2 or 3.

Hopefully our body of work by seasons end will be good enough for it to not be a negative to the selection committee.

We cannot afford stupid losses to Florida, South Carolina, Mississippi, Vanderbilt, and Georgia this season.

Gonzaga will Def still be a quad 1 . 3??? That's laughable. Do you not understand the quadrant system?

But that loss will still be counted against us (and should) come Selection Sunday. It may have been a fluke but it's still on our record and will cost us come March.

Yep. There's no cleaning that turd off our record. Best we can hope for is a 2 or 3. Only running the table would get us back to 1 seed territory after that.

We would be 6th, behind UConn, but ahead of Marquette, etc.

 

[BigRedMachineBigBlueNation]

Per tweeter

Damn if we had beat UNCW we could be close to top 5. Top 3 if we had beaten KU.

 

[BigRedMachineBigBlueNation]

They have 3 losses, but ZERO of them came to Unranked Teams:

#1 Purdue
#2 Kansas
#9 North Carolina

We have lost to:

#1 Kansas
Unranked UNCW in Rupp --------> THIS is the difference!

UT have 3 losses. How many great wins do they have? We have 2 bad losses and 2 great wins over Miami and UNC.
