UK superior quickness and rebounding...also mad D. Impressive, I'm sad to say. Hoping for a tale of two halves, but 20 points is a deep hole. UK won’t come close to shooting 62% again this year.

IU Scott Posted January 30, 2022 Report Share Posted January 30, 2022 (edited) I have watched Kansas a few times and the games I have seen they don't seem that great. I really don't know how they are 17-2 because I don't think their talent level is elite. They have one great player and the rest are just descent players.

They’ve had several games like that this year…I remember UNC, Tennessee, and KU now…they have a lot of talent…hard to say they will win 6 in a row come March though.

Lurker Posted January 30, 2022 Report Share Posted January 30, 2022 Looks like Jerome Hunter has lost his starting job to Jack Nunge. His playing time has been reduced drastically in the last two weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indykev Posted February 1, 2022 Report Share Posted February 1, 2022 Sports writers are a joke, 5,6 and 7 loss teams ranked in the top 25. This is why none of them should ever get to vote on anything meaningful, like HoF voting. Heisman Trophy. Dog catcher. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coaches are laser-focused on their own team and opponents, and are also biased. Sport writers have their biases as well, I get that, but they are the ones that also pay attention to the entire landscape, etc. From what I understand most coaches don't even complete the coaches poll each week, they just pass it off to their SID's. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't care less about rankings and it is good that in college basketball they don't really influence who gets into tbe tournament. The only one I care about is who is #1 after the tournament. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree...100%...but I also think sports writing has gone WAY WAY WAY down in quality over the years. Not sure which ones get's votes...but I would hate to see what Knight felt about sports writers today if we KNOW what he felt about them 30 years ago lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jojo123 Posted February 1, 2022 Report Share Posted February 1, 2022 AP top 25 poll. You ever notice how much credit teams get for beating or losing to IU gets. Yet we get no credit for beating a top team. When they lose to us only fall one or two spots. ? Shouldn't they fall to at least to number twenty for losing to an unranked opponent? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get 10-12 ex coaches (probably working in the media) to head up a committee to rank them? ex would be guys like Lavin, Greenberg etc?? Not saying it would be any better but at least they probably watch a good majority of games and understand what they are seeing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
