Big East with 3 teams in top 11, 4 teams in top 14 and 5 teams in top 21...yup, still a very difficult conference. Meanwhile, the Big Ten (touted at the Best Conference this year by many talking heads) only has 1 team in the top 15 and 3 in the top 25.

Now that is 1 I do not understand ... Duke gets rocked by OSU and NC loses by only 1 to Kentucky. I think the positions should have been swapped ... but NC still lost to UNLV?

Stunned as well. Thought for sure UNC would stay in top 5 and ahead of Duke specifically. Louisville was a coin flip but Duke I am surprised.

Louisville has had some good wins, but are also missing like 4 or 5 players. When they return, they're going to be very difficult to beat.

They will be good, but I think we match up great with them this year. Florida loves to press and wouldn't even dare to do it. UL loves to press, which will be interesting. I think Florida might be the best team we play regular season, when it's all said and done.

lol, I like your thinkin'

 

[HoustonCuse]

We got a #1 vote in the coaches poll last week too. I wonder who that is? Coach K maybe?

As to Looevil, we don't play them until towards the end of the year when Pitino seems to hit his stride. I see no reason to expect to win against them this year honestly.

 

[SkanSU]

We play L'ville home and home... I am sooooo sick of losing to L'ville. When was the last time we beat them in basketball? What 3 - 4 years ago? And then we can't seem to beat their friggin' football team either. OMG I hate those guys!!

I think we beat them on one of our gameday hosts a couple of years back if I am not mistaken.
