I would love to be in Orlando this weekend for the games but my white palomino stallion can't make it that far.

I honestly think they aren’t as good as that ranking right now.

Better than last year but struggled with la tech and the mid major team before that.

I think they will get better though.

Need to win the opener on Thursday and have Florida State do the same. Would make for a great game on Friday.

I think those two teams are actually pretty good. La Tech pretty much dominated Wichita State the whole game and we beat them basically without our best player in Naz. La tech and UNCG may both make the NCAA tournament this year. UNCG was a tourney team last year and almost beat Gonzaga.

this is horrible. Let’s see. Reid was limited. And then there is the fact that mid-major and Tech are projecting to be very good when it’s all over.memphis will likely make a push for that conference and lot 5th where they are predicted looking at that freshmen class and who we wanted from there. Then there is Tech who will push for their conference.
Basketball has lots of mid-majors that not only make the tournament, they excel
And win at times...

UNCG is a really good team, and LA Tech is certainly looking like one as well.

No one cares about your opinion because it's evident you don't follow CBB

I know! Kansas is so undeserving of that #2 ranking as well after only beating ULL by 13 in their last game out...

Who would have ever guessed we'd outrank Villanova?

I'll be in Orlando beginning Thursday, but won't be at any of the games unfortunately. Would love to see them over there.

Chinoyang or whatever his name is thinks Wade is all talk and this ranking is BS. He also thought Jones was a good coach so that’s all you need to know.

One of the most inappropriate monikers on TD.

Students need to start making plans now to be at the 12/21 game against Furman. It will be a matchup of two ranked teams. If a student lives within 30 minutes of the PMAC, no excuse will be acceptable for not being there.

FYI, that is not a palomino.

You might want to walk down to your stables and have your head trainer explain to you the difference.

Saying they don't deserve their ranking because they've struggled against mid-majors is a moot point. This is not football. Look at Kentucky, every mid-major they've played at home has been a close game, it's a theme repeating itself all over the country, college bball is a whole different world.
