Since Kentucky won the national championship in 1998, the University of Connecticut is 22-5 in NCAA tournament play with two national championships and two elite eight appareances.

 

Kentucky is 16-8 over that time, with three elite eight appearances. It looks like Connecticut's scheduling strategy is working well to me.

 

Im talking about THIS year... UConn's schedule is normally not this pathetic, particularly in the years they have excelled in the tournement.

And it was done like it was because they are so young. Yes they are overrated, but I don't know that UK is better than UConn at this point...

Indiana was also at a neutral site seeing as how it was not at Rupp and tickets were split evenly between the two schools, as they are every year. As far as UConn's schedule being on par with UK's, that's a joke. SOS for UK is #3 currently, UConn's is 244. UConn had played 10 games before they even left their state.

IU was at Rupp.

I didnt even catch that. I was so used to see that game being played in Louisville.

Too much difficulty in booking Freedom Hall. I personally like going to the actual sites for a rivalry game. The return visit to Bloomington is kind of cool.

Your right, it was.. Im used to it being in Indianapolis and Freedom Hall, however a scheduling conflict at FH this year didn't allow it to happen.

 

I still stand by the fact that tickets were split evenly and it was not part of UK's season ticket package, as I did not recieve a ticket. Most people will still consider that a home game for UK Im sure, however IU had their chance to fill Rupp for this one.

I can handle the fact that we arent in the top 25. Thats fine. I personally dont believe that we are a top 25 team yet. I do however think its rediculous that we are at 36, and behind Indiana. I think we are atleast between 25-31.

Only thing that irks me is how they aren't moving up at all... If anything, they're moving down.

Air Force

At this point, UNC deserves the top spot.

Air Force is 15-1

 

The one loss came against Duke at Duke by the score of 71-56 in their 5th game played.

 

They have beaten Texas Tech (67-53), Wake (94-58), George Washington (66-52) & UNLV (56-50).

 

Tech is 12-4

Wake is 9-5

GW is 10-3

UNLV is 14-3

 

Nobody really...

Eleven straight wins is usually a good sign for the Tar Heels. This week, it's good enough to put North Carolina (14-1) atop the ESPN/USA Today coaches poll.

 

And it may mean better things down the road -- five of the last six Tar Heel teams to reel off at least 11 straight wins at some point during the season have later advanced to the Final Four.

 

North Carolina is the new top team thanks to UCLA's 68-66 loss at Oregon on Saturday. The Bruins (14-1) dropped to No. 3 after their first loss of the season. Florida (14-2) moved into the No. 2 spot. Wisconsin (15-1) stayed put at No. 4, and Ohio State (13-2) moved up to No. 5.

 

North Carolina was also No. 1 in the Associated Press poll.
