Indiana 5 spots ahead of us is kinda funny. We'd beat them by like 15 if we played them. Having Boeheim over Crean is worth like 38 points alone. I bet their Sweet 16 rings are going to be siiiiick this year though.
Brennan fulfilling his 'Mark Few is a super duper nice guy, so let's overrate them by 10-15 spots' quota.
Michigan State couldn't make the round of 32 and has 1 returning starter, so ranking them #10 makes a ton of sense.
The real head scratcher is St. Mary's they didn't even make the tournament.
Indiana guy.Who is Eamonn Brennan? I've honestly never heard of him before, but it says he joined ESPN in 2009
You haven't missed much. I had their basketball page bookmarked for years and no longer do. Anyone that's halfway decent they make an insider which requires a paid subscription.Who is Eamonn Brennan? I've honestly never heard of him before, but it says he joined ESPN in 2009
If you go by Vegas lines to win the title, we're ranked #13. The difference between Vegas and these clowns in the media is that Vegas' only bias is making money. Vegas looks at teams objectively while the media types can't seem to shake the idea of a team they thought didn't belong in the tournament last year. They let that cloud their judgement so they cant see a team that developed nicely during the tournament or that the team brought in some very nice skillsets in the offseason.
