We will stay #4 in the AP poll; maybe drop 1 or 2 spots max.
If UK wins at Gonzaga Sat night

- Start date
Going to be a tough game but I expect shots to fall and the O to be smoother now that we are shifting back to playing a finesse team. It’ll be a ball game under 5 min remaining and then it’s anyone’s game and comes down to 10 possessions both ways
The rankings are going to change so much this year, but the weirdest rotation is when we see an over-confident Tennessee team at #1 next Monday.
If Pope keeps this collection of talent in the top 10 all season, particularly given how good the SEC will be, he should get Coach of the Year.

With Duke defeating Auburn and UK beating Duke we could jump Auburn w/a win at Gonzaga.
Plus, UKs win over Duke looks that much better, esp on neutral court.
I wouldn't really call Gonzaga a finesse team they play a physical brand of basketball but they just have more skill to go along with it.
Thought you said we were winning both? Winning NC ?
It's 2024 bro. We can identify as an undefeated basketball team if we feel like it
I would just call Gonzaga a good team. They can play most any style and they have a good coach.
Would like to see UK win to snap the beatings from them, but don't see it happening, especially after coming off a loss to Clemson.
#1,2,4,5 all dropped games this week. If we win, we should stay in the 4 to 7 range. UK with 2 good teams this week, both on the road.
Win and move on UK!
Win and move on UK!
You are correct. I did. So what?
Does it make you feel better about yourself to point out when Im wrong?
Did you congratulate me win I predicted UK to beat Duke or are you just a hater?
Hmmmmmm?
Every game matters because it dictates seeding in the NCAAs and the better seed you are the better road you have to the FF.
If???? Someone has hacked your account, the real HerroHeroes will say “After we beat Gonzaga”.
Hope you find the culprit and get back to your usual out there posts. You actually sound rational in this thread. I don’t like it!
Only ranking that matters is the Net. When we win Sat, we move up 
Also, crazy to think, we will play #1, #2, #3, #4, & #5 in the Net, and we're #6.

I disagree. Games matter. Rankings matter more toward the end of the year. Take Florida State football this year. Ranked in top 5. You telling me a win against them matters when their season tanked like it did? Not a chance. Now a win at the end of the year against a top 5 is different. That early season win means nothing, even if they were ranked top 5, unless they stay there.
A win against Florida state when they were top 5, certainly does mean something, it's a whole lot better than losing to them when you see they can't even beat Memphis.
If you're dropping in the rankings, it means you're losing, so yes, it does matter.
Also, if you lose enough to fall out of the rankings, you become an out-of-sight-out-of -mind team and believe it or not, it does affect the perception of who you are in the eyes of the committee.
So many people think ranlings don’t matter, hut honestly, they do. If they didn't, they wouldn't have rankings.
Run along. UK fans are talking here and you aren't a UK fan
yes and the fact that all teams are losing on the road but to lose 2 in a week there's no chance we won't drop and will drop a bunch if we lose again
Not hard every damn post you make is trashing the program. Stop using "WE" you don't play on the team nor do you root for them
So you already conceded we lost tomorrow? Your definitely not a UK fan saying that crap.
You keep saying WE.
I think we’ve already established that you’re just visiting here.
