<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Sasha:</div><div class="quote_post">Yay Dukies! I just wish my Tar Heels would climb up in the rankings.</div> you and me both...I love Duke,and the Heels/Devils games are always intense but they are off the chain when both teams are highly ranked with mucho grande ridin' on the outcome.
How can you like both Duke and UNC? That should be illegal. Duke is rolling and will beat UNC this week. Should as always be an exciting game to watch.

uconn at number five doesn't bother me. but putting louisville in front of them does. gonzaga way too high, pitt way too low.

Gonzaga is one of the best teams this year. They only lost to St. Joe's and Stanford. I don't see any reason they should be lower.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting franchise3:</div><div class="quote_post">Gonzaga is one of the best teams this year. They only lost to St. Joe's and Stanford. I don't see any reason they should be lower.</div> I agree...peeps always underrate 'em if anything.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting okaforever:</div><div class="quote_post"> gonzaga way too high</div> I have to dissagree with you here. Gonzaga has two losses on the season, which is less than Connecticut has. Gonzaga's losses have come to the only undefeated teams as well. Does that not speak volumes? Also, Gonzaga has two top twenty-five wins. They beat the fourth best team in the nation (Missouri), the twenty-fifth best team in the nation (Maryland), and even Georgia who were hot at the time. <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Louisville has beaten more top ten teams than UConn</div> Not only that, but Louisville has less losses. Their recent loss came to a good Marquette team on the road, and they didn't have their two best players with them. That game was almost a given. Also, they lost to Iowa earlier in the year, but Iowa was on a roll. They were in the rankings the next week.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Big Nasty:</div><div class="quote_post">Louisville has beaten more top ten teams than UConn...Including defeating two number ones....</div> and they just lost to memphis. they beat a HIGHLY over-rated florida team when they were number one.. but yes, they did beat a number one. though i'm sure everybody SHOULD agree with me that florida at #1 was uncalled for. same with kentucky, who really doesn't have that great of a squad this season. they did slaughter cincy, which was impressive. the marquette loss hurts. though i don't see louisville beating cincy @ cincy in two weeks. other than that they haven't played any top 25 teams.

If you took away 32% of any team's offense they'd lose to teams like Memphis and Marquette. Pitino is just coming back off an illness as well. We could argue all day about how legit the Memphis loss was, but the fact of the matter was that when this poll was published Louisville was a better team record/schedule wise than the teams below them.

Kentucky is young and has their ups and downs,but are talented nonetheless.
man the game last night was awsome. this just ferther proves that DUKE is and always will be number one in NCAA hoops.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting franchise3:</div><div class="quote_post">Gonzaga is one of the best teams this year. They only lost to St. Joe's and Stanford. I don't see any reason they should be lower.</div> cause they have an easy schedule. and lost to st joes and stanford, as expected.
