What a farce that KU is still in top 10 with 7 losses.

"Kentucky received all 65 votes in the AP poll after completing the first undefeated regular season in school history."


Geez. After all this time, they still can't get it right.

KU is a joke. Their team is average. Should be ranked 18-25. North Carolina is equally as laughable.

I hope an sec seed gets matched up with them and sends ALEXANDER into his 2nd year.

KU is champion of the second best conference in the country. Who would you put in over them?

In my case one of the teams the polls did, Maryland I think KU should be a 3 seed, but it seems pretty clear they'll be a 2. I'm not as sold on Notre Dame.

Wow, Murray State not only dropped from the polls (as expected) but they are no longer receiving any votes at all. Not sure I have ever seen that before.

I'm not sold on Maryland. 60th in offensive efficiency and 39th in defensive efficiency aren't really numbers you'd see from a typical 3 seed.

Efficiency margin in Big Ten games only +.02 per possession isn't good at all (UK outscored the SEC by .27). Based on those numbers you would have expected a conference record more like 10-8. They went 14-4.

They been lucky. Some of it is their doing . When you hit over 75% of your free throws your going to win alot of close games. Conversely opponents only shot 65.4% on free throws, which is complete luck.

Strange team.......only 5 losses but 4 were by double digits.

Their best win outside the overrated B-12 is Utah. They are 1-1 against ranked teams outside their conference.

Yeah, they should be awarded for those losses. They deserve their ranking. Plus, Bill Self wants to arrange a mtg where the Alexander issues can be talked about. You know, like, we say oh we didn't mean to do that.(ala Bignoseheim). So keep Kansas in the top ten. They didn't mean to lose. Plus, if they played UK now, we'd be in trouble. Oh yeah, their helms titles carry weight too. Ask kimo, except he's hiding, i mean hibernating.

If KU loses in their conference tournament before the final they will drop to a 3 seed.

How funny! They changed it to read "after completing their first 31-0 regular season in school history."

Technically, at least that's true, but still misleading, because it's not the first undefeated season, which is what most people will take away from that statement.
