Texas Preseason coaches poll is out: UK starts No. 3 » UK basketball recruiting news
October 17, 201213 yr Author I think the top two teams are accurate. As much as I love seeing UK at #3, it's hard to justify that at this point of the season IMO. I think a productive Wayne Blackshear will be the determining factor in UL's title ambitions.
October 17, 201213 yr Crean goes from the hunter to the hunted. Big difference. Will be watching how this one plays out.
October 17, 201213 yr This is why I love NKY. 3 of the top 4 teams can be seen within a 1.5-2.0 hour drive. And Indiana is not that bad of a drive.
October 17, 201213 yr I bet IU severely underachieves. They will have to underachieve unless they win it all.
October 17, 201213 yr Crean goes from the hunter to the hunted. Big difference. Will be watching how this one plays out. Same with Louisville!
October 17, 201213 yr I bet NC State at around 20-1 this summer in Vegas, hard to believe they are #6!
October 17, 201213 yr This won't hold. Nobody drops games to inferior teams in November better than Louisville. That said, Louisville spent last season underachieving and then once everyone was healthy and playing well in March, they certainly justified their preseason ranking.
October 17, 201213 yr I bet NC State at around 20-1 this summer in Vegas, hard to believe they are #6! This could easily be the year somebody not named Duke or UNC will win the ACC. NC State is loaded.
October 17, 201213 yr It's hard for me to believe UK is the 3rd best team in the country. Then I look at the list and I think you could make any arguement for them. My point is college basketball is very weak this season.
October 17, 201213 yr I think the top two teams are accurate. As much as I love seeing UK at #3, it's hard to justify that at this point of the season IMO. I think a productive Wayne Blackshear will be the determining factor in UL's title ambitions. I agree, Blackshear will play a big determinant in Louisville's success.
October 17, 201213 yr I realize they are in the MAC but how is Ohio not in the top 25? Sweet 16 team that was one possession away from beating North Carolina last year away from the Elite 8 and has everyone back.
