Re: So, uh, who\'s #1 in CBB?
based on what they've done on the court
1. Duke 2. UCONN 3. Texas 4. NOVA 5. Memphis (Ohio State and Florida at 6 and 7) But, if I had to rate teams based on their ability to win it all in April 1. UCONN 2. Duke 3. NOVA 4. Texas 5. Memphis

Re: So, uh, who\'s #1 in CBB?
I will also pile on and say Gonzaga is an absolute joke (#17 in sagarin and #35 in sagarin predictor). I just hope the Illini get in their bracket as it will be weak by default.

Duke
Nova UConn Memphis is how I would vote for it, but it will probably be: Duke UConn Nova Memphis

[ QUOTE ]
My top 5 goes like this: 1. Villanova(they still have #17Gtown on Sunday) 2. Duke 3. Mephis 4. UConn 5. Texas I think both, Gonzaga and George Washington are over ranked. West Virginia should be swapped GW. [/ QUOTE ] I know you're thrilled right now but come on. Villanova shot 9-19 from three for 47%. 7-9 in the second half. They are 39% for the year. And half of those attempts looked to be behind the NBA line. They had 13 steals. They average 8. Will Sheridan had been averaging 5 points and 6 rebounds a game. Last night he had season highs of 13 and 10. A team playing out of their minds to squeak out a close win at home isn't grounds for turning the top five upside down.

[ QUOTE ] Duke Uconn Nova Memphis [/ QUOTE ] I find this surprising Jack. There's no way you would put UCONN in front of Nova if this was CFB. [/ QUOTE ] I think its reasonable given each individual basketball game is less important than each football game.

Re: So, uh, who\'s #1 in CBB?
[ QUOTE ]
Gonzaga is way too high. I like Morrison a lot, but they're not deep enough to avoid another first or second round upset. I hope I'm wrong. [/ QUOTE ] I always wonder what Gonzaga really needs to do. They beat every team they are supposed to. They have three losses @ Memphis, @ Washington and neutral court vs. UCONN in a game they should have won. In my mind rankings are how a team has handled their schedule. Not who is the better team. The tournament is there to gage who is better. I think Illinois is better than Gonzaga. But, Illinois blew a game vs. Penn State and has not been playing well lately. So Gonzaga should have a higher ranking. They have beat all of the teams they should and have been rolling through the months of January and February. I only bring this up because my rankings would look like this: 1. Duke 2. UCONN 3. Nova 4. Memphis 5. Texas 6. Gonzaga 7. Illinois 8. Tennesee 9. Ohio State 10. Pitt Who I think will do well in the tournament looks a lot different.

Re: So, uh, who\'s #1 in CBB?
There was no need to go into ignorant homerism to defend UConn's case.
Legitimate arguments place them just above Nova in the rankings. Saying stupid ass [censored] like "Nova played out of their minds to squeak by UConn" just makes it look like you're making excuses.

I know you're thrilled right now but come on. [/ QUOTE ] Right off the bat. True. [ QUOTE ] Villanova shot 9-19 from three for 47%. 7-9 in the second half. They are 39% for the year. And half of those attempts looked to be behind the NBA line. They had 13 steals. They average 8. [/ QUOTE ] Ok...an above average night on both parts. [ QUOTE ] Will Sheridan had been averaging 5 points and 6 rebounds a game. Last night he had season highs of 13 and 10. [/ QUOTE ] Will Sheridan also had a season high 40 Minutes. He averages 26.2. So not really completely off the mark. He was the answer they put into the game plan, they usually play 1 big man and 4 guards, played 2 big men and 3 guards last night. Why don't we wait until Sunday. I'll concede that right now, Duke probably is #1 and Nova is 2 or 3 with UConn in the other spot. But a Nova win over Gtown on Sunday, I do not see it being unrealistic that they get the #1 spot in the polls. Fair?
