I would rather play Iowa State than Zona right now.
That Zona game on the road feels like a HUGE game with bragging rights attached to it. I am not sure why we are defending the historical Big 12 but that is what it feels like.
Looking at the polls, even though we dropped a slot, we actually have more points than we did last week.
I’m more interested n where the NCAA has us slotted this week.
But, if you’re looking for something to hang your hat on, this is the 100th consecutive week we have been ranked. This is currently the longest streak in the country and the 17th longest all time.
going into today we are 3rd in net and 10th in the new “wins above bubble” metric so anywhere from 6th to 9th on the s-curve seems reasonable depending on how things go this week
They try to keep seeded teams closest to their home. We are probably slotted to go through Wichita. A$M will probably follow us to Wichita. Where seeding comes in play nationally is where we go for the regional.
Alabama and Auburn are both looking at Lexington for their sub-regionals and then off to different regional sites, most likely Indianapolis and Atlanta.
For us to reach the one line, it will more than likely be as the fourth #1. That would send us through Wichita to San Francisco.
Shoot forgot to comment that we made it 100 consecutive weeks ranked! Major milestone for our Coogs. Ties Arizona (2013-18) for 17th all time. Truly an elite run we’re on.
Just 100 more appearances and we’ll tie Duke for the 3rd longest streak! Lol
I’m old enough to remember when just getting ranked was a huge deal for us. Ahh, how times have changed for the better. Thank you CKS and to all the players for this awesome run. Please let us end up with the ultimate prize at last. Enjoy these times Coogs because many of are old enough to remember the 30 years in the wilderness.
