<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">The Jayhawks, taking advantage of losses by the top four teams last week, jumped from sixth to No. 1 in the Associated Press men's college basketball poll Monday. Their move to the top was the biggest in almost 40 years and matched the second biggest in the history of the poll, which started in the 1948-49 season. Kansas (2-0) beat then-No. 3 Michigan State 81-74 in their only game last week, and combined with losses by Connecticut, Duke and Arizona (Nos. 1, 2 and 4 last week) and an unimpressive win by then-No. 5 Missouri, it meant another trip to No. 1. Florida beat Arizona to move up from eighth to No. 2 this week. Georgia Tech defeated Connecticut, and Purdue beat Duke, moving them into the rankings for the first time this season. Georgia Tech was 13th, and the Boilermakers were 20th. Michigan State (3-1) dropped from third to fifth, while Duke (3-1) fell from second to sixth after losing 78-68 to Purdue in the championship game of the Great Alaska Shootout. Arizona (1-1) fell from fourth to seventh with the 78-77 loss to Florida in the Tipoff Classic, while Texas, Kentucky and North Carolina rounded out the Top 10. Georgia Tech was the ninth school to get at least one first-place vote and the Yellow Jackets were No. 1 on three ballots. Illinois moved up one spot to 11th, followed by Saint Joseph's, Georgia Tech, Oklahoma, Wisconsin, Syracuse, Gonzaga, Wake Forest, Cincinnati and Purdue. </div> http://www.sportsline.com/collegebasketball/story/6883307 Amazing how quickly it can change.
i havent been following college basketball lately...who did Uconn lose too...i know Duke lost to purdue..lol
Yea, Georgia Tech has a very good team this year. They had an impressive win over what was than #1 UConn and than I believe the next day, don't remember, they knocked off #25 Texas Tech. I'd watch out for the this year if they can keep up the stellar play.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Kid Canada:</div><div class="quote_post">Duke blew there chance at number 1. Allnet you should see Julius Page dunk.</div> It is very early in the season and the only thing that matters is how you finish in the NCAA Tournament in March. Every team will lose at one point, considering there isn't an unbeatable team this year. I think you will see Duke at the top of the charts later on this year. Ranking wise, it is better to lose early in the year, then late in the year.
bla,bla,bla I have to stick up for my devils! just kidding man, I'm a Zona fan and if we would stop salim stodamire from taking stupid ass shots we would be #1. and we'll see you guys in the final four. by the way, one more shot at Florida please cuz we are a better team!!!!!!!!!!
