Where should UK be ranked?

[RoyKent]

Forget pre-season rankings, based on what you have seen out of this team where would you rank them?

12-15ish seems about right to me.

 

[jedwar]

Will 8th
Should about 12.

 

[wromanp7]

front court - 300

 

[TriCountyCAT]

I'd say top ten, just had two bad games in a row. People weren't saying crap when we made Duke look silly. Just an off night and the refs blow

 

[Goingfor9]

5th we are top 5.

 

[RoyKent]

5th we are top 5.

Disagree...beating Duke doesn't negate getting smoked tonight or struggling with Wright St and Il St.

 

[Hopmix]

I say 10-12 as well. They are soft. Softest team I've seen since Those girls Robert Morris owned.

 

[Fancatstik]

top 10 but I wish they'd rank us out of the top 20 so we could fight our back and get some back bone.

 

[ZZBlueComet]

10-12, Duke has improved, we have not (by any measure).

 

[Jkr21790]

Screw you guys, Man yall are gay as hell. UCLA played out their *** and we got screwed a little but yet still played like horst ****. We're still the best damn team in the country and shouldn't fall no farther than 5th Screw off Im in the midst of a rage after this loss

 

[chroix]

5. Lost on the road down a starter with an injured point guard. Or should I freak out and say we should drop out of the top 25? No, I'll stick with 5th.

 

[ORCAT]

I'll say we stay top 5 but don't deserve to, we have a lot of weaknesses that were exposed tonight. Going to be a number of losses tonight and some of those on this board who hate to hear stuff like that just need to check into reality a bit. We are a good team with potential but have a long way to go to reach that. Not saying we can't but we really need to work on a lot of things and not sure we have the frontcourt to get it done this year.

 

[al.ksr]

[TBCat]

Haven't paid attention to the other teams out there much but I'll say 5th or 6th.

 

[catman111_rivals101557]

Unranked is what we deserve after this embarassing effort.

 

[Bodvar Bjarki]

Will 8th
Should about 12.

I am thinking it will be 8th, too.

 

[UKEE93]

About 6th in next poll but to be honest, the last few games haven't showed me a top 10 team. Maybe this will wake a few guys up.

 

[MrKentucky]

Probably about 12th.

Maybe I'm just understating the road and Kentucky super bowl factors, but I really do not think UCLA is a good team.

 

[MWes11]

Settle down, douche. We sucked and we are soft right now. We aren't top 5 and that is fine. We will improve like we always do under Cal. We aren't the best team in the country right now and that's fine.

 

[TheBigBlueSpectacle]

Will fall to 5th or so but honestly a middle tier team right now. Fringe top 25 with potential to grown into and deserve a top ranking later with some SERIOUS development

They also have 2012-2013 NIT potential, but I suspect they will ultimately be fine

 

[TortElvisII]

Tenth.

But tonight we were baaaaaaddddddd

 

[ORCAT]

Probably about 12th.

Maybe I'm just understating the road and Kentucky super bowl factors, but I really do not think UCLA is a good team.

UCLA played a great game tonight and we were off, combination of both. I think they are much better than what they've shown so far this year and we met them at their best and they were seeking big time revenge for last year. I don't think we're as good as some on here thought but we're still pretty good and, hopefully, will get better before March. Would like a rematch in March sometime with UCLA.

 

[TriCountyCAT]

UNC lost to Northern Iowa, it happens. Briscoe is really the only guy that played well.

 

[jedcat]

We can simultaneously think that the team is not that great now, yet hope that, like the typical young Cal team, will be much better by the end of the year.

 

[Double Oaked Juice]

Tenth.

But tonight we were baaaaaaddddddd

Baaa Baaa Black Sheep.

 

[JimmyJimmy]

It's so early in the season it doesn't matter but the only teams I've seen that are legit this year are Dike, Kansas, North Carolina and us.

Top 5

 

[TheBlueMist]

Who cares? It's December. Ask me again in March.

 

[poppycat]

Unranked is what we deserve after this embarassing effort.

No, not unranked, but I do recall a few day ago that some of us got
really blasted by suggesting that we were overrated ..........It was so oblivious.
We were being ranked on potential rather than the present.
Just might still finish #1. Humphries or Wynyard will need to help
vs bigs like tonight.

 

[KyleCtCat]

This is how we will played, here on out! Either toughen up or hit our jump shots!

 

[GoCats2009]

I feel that there shouldn't even be a ranking until at least Jan 1st. All rankings are until then is a guess.

 

[doneitall]

I've seen several teams that I thought would beat us, we are hopefully at present top 10. We will stayed ranked in top 5 but we are not there yet. No one on team knows what their role is at present except drive to rim in hope of getting fouled. We need bad to take advantage of skal's ability to score from foul line on down or maybe even farther than that. We cannot let another team to pack it in like ucla and not take advantage behind three point line even if we need to sit a guard and let willis be a shooter. We needed this lost.

 

[CharlieT71059]

top 10 fpr sure

 

[Tapemaster8]

I think we fall to 7th. Don't care how far we fall. I just want Alex to be able to dribble the ball twice in a row and take it to the basket! Tired of seeing him hold the ball when it looks like he has the position on his man 12 foot away from the basket! I can't believe a player that athletic can't take two dribbles without turning it over !

 

[LadyCaytIL]

Now we get to see the character of the team. Who's willing to work hard now that they aren't ranked #1.

I think we should be ranked around 7th or 8th.

But if Skal doesnt get his act together, we'll have 10-12 losses on the season

 

[CalCat57]

10-12, Duke has improved, we have not (by any measure).

this.

 

[Clive Gollings]

Until they hit shots and actually get tough around the rim, there's 20 teams currently better than them.

 

[Pygmy Sasquatch]

I don't keep up with team stats. What 20 teams would those be?

 

[Fannin12]

Disagree totally! Time to put down the whiskey hoss!

 

[ulismyman]

Idiot

 

[CatPhight_rivals65113]

5th
