whitesoxfan101 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 I find it interesting that Bill Self and Bruce Weber are both legitimate national coach of the year candidates right now (although my vote would go to Mike Anderson at Mizzou right now due to Dino Gaudio and Wake Forest's struggles recently, with Brad Stevens at Butler and Trent Johnson at LSU also in the discussion.)

ChiSox_Sonix Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 New #1 this week is Pitt 1- Pitt 2- UCONN 3- Oklahoma 4- Memphis (joke) 5- UNC 6- L'Ville 7- Duke 8- Mizzou (joke) 9- Michigan St 10- Marquette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxfan101 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Michigan State at #9 is a bigger joke than Missouri at #8. However, Memphis at #4 is a borderline travestyshamockery. That is inexcuseable on the voters part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, Memphis at #4 is a borderline travestyshamockery. That is inexcuseable on the voters part. The polls this season have become more irrelevant as the season goes on. They have NO idea who should be ranked where. Its a total crapshoot this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxbrian Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 UCONN drops 1 spot, MSU shouldn't be in the top 10, and Duke only moves up 2 spots with a home offensive explosion against a tough team in Wake + a win at MSG against SJU. All those are mistakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo's Drinker Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 The Big 12 was not that good last year either, and they ended up having the best team in the nation. Once the tourney starts, it does not make a difference what conference one comes from, its all for one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heads22 Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 I don't see how you could have expected Kansas to be .500. That would require going just 4-8 against teams not named Colorado and Iowa State. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiSox_Sonix Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 (edited) QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Feb 23, 2009 -> 05:49 PM) UCONN drops 1 spot, MSU shouldn't be in the top 10, and Duke only moves up 2 spots with a home offensive explosion against a tough team in Wake + a win at MSG against SJU. All those are mistakes. Why should UCONN have dropped more? UNC and OU both lost. Unless you think Memphis should be #2 and UCONN #3 I don't know how you'd change that. And if MSU is not in the top 10 who should be there instead? No one in the 11-15 range really deserves it either IMO. And about Duke, why should they move up more than that? They got BLOWN OUT by Clemson earlier this year and dropped 2 spots. Outside of UCLA, there hasnt been a team consistently over-ranked all year more than Duke.

LittleHurt05 Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 I assumed Memphis had a solid non-conference slate to back up the top 5 ranking considering how horrible C-USA is, but turns out they have only beaten one tourney lock, and one team on the bubble...and one of their 3 losses was to G-Town, who looks like they have little to no chance to make the tourney.. Wins: @ Gonzaga, Cincinnati Losses: @ Xavier, @ Georgetown, Syracuse... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
