Mr. Massey needs to get out of his lazy boy chair and go see some games.  Some of his top 25 are just not very good basketball teams.

"He" stays pretty busy given his portfolio, and that's not how any of this works.

How would "you" rank the Top 25? Offense, Defense, SoS?

Which of those top 25 "are not very good basketball teams"?

I noticed a mistake in one of the games when I drilled down.  
Do I just email the person about the mistake?  Do you find that they are very responsive?

And thank you, Mr. Owl - I love stuff like this.

The teams I dropped don't deserve to be ranked in the top 25.

 

Highlands, Great Crossing, Cov Holy Cross, Lloyd Mem, and S Oldham.

Warren Central beat two teams you have ranked ahead of them as well as two teams behind in your ranks, and their only loss is to your number 1.

Honestly, I saw WC in the KOB, I really liked them.  When I put them in the 11 hole, I was thinking they could really be the sleeper team this year.

Highlands, Great Crossing, Cov Holy Cross, Lloyd Mem, and S Oldham.

I wouldn’t call those 5 teams bad teams though.

South Oldham made it to the Final 4 last year they lost a couple key pieces but added 2 really good players too

Loyld Mem is very physical and athletic 

Highlands can spread you out and score a ton of points 

Great crossings - they have a losing record so I get not putting them in but they did miss a 5 ft shot at the buzzer that would have beat Madison Central so obviously they are a good team 

Holy cross - haven’t seen them play

Ok, I said they were bad teams, I should have said they were teams not worthy of top 25 ranking.  They are all decent teams that could later show up in the top 25.

S Oldham recently lost to Male by 22 points.

Highlands recently lost to CCH by 22 points.

Holy Cross lost to Newport by 3 points.

Lloyd has not played any team other than Ashland that is close to a top 25 team.

Great Crossing is no better than a middle of the road team.

I have seen 14 of the top 25 teams either in person or on film.  Of course teams can have off nights, but I would say all 14 I have seen are very good teams. A few better than others. I think talent wise X is the best team, but Ballard gave them all they wanted, Male beat them once so we are in for a nice ending of the season I would say.
