But during the season when #1 #2 #3 all lose #4 gets to be #1 right? Even if everyone thinks the previous #1 or 2 is the best right?
You guys made this exact argument last year that it’s not the best team.
Let’s go Pitino
FYI, I am a long time UCONN fan. That being said I enjoy this discussion. Everyone knows UCONN lost significant core players from last season heading into this season. That being said, UCONN lost 5 significant players from the prior Championship Team. Good point that returning players last season were studs. Hurley and his coaching staff are elite. Recent performance matters. Not sure why Kansas is preseason ranked number 1 game. Gain performance matters. Kansas never had a chance to win the National Championship even with a healthy team. Bill Self is significantly overrated as a head coach.
I’m a long time UConn fan as well, going back to Chris Smith/Tate George years and I think UConn is going to have another great year, but I don’t get the Karaban talk with being snubbed for awards. He was literally the 3rd/4th option last year. They do a great job of spreading the scoring around and he may get 15 points a game next year, and I don’t believe he will be the first option this year. Now I’m rooting for him, but don’t think he’s a top 5 player in the nation. I believe Solo Ball will be the alpha of this team.
Performance matters.
Uconn will have one of the best shooting teams in the country. What the 5 spot looks like will determine its March prospects
Thanks GP for calling out Norlanders Big East hate
