ok, we all know that these two teams are both undefeated, but i just saw a poll on espn where a majority (40%) of the people said neither of these teams will make it to the final four

 

So, do you guys think they are really the two best teams in america, or are they only there because of their records against powderpuff opponents (most of the time, at least)

 

i think that these are two of the top 5 teams in america, but not #1 and 2. And yes, at least one will make the final four, if not both

then whom is #1 and #2

right now, you can't say anyone but them

 

but, if i were making a pole, i would say duke and oklahoma state

 

*hears gasps*

of course both teams can make a case for #1, but stanford's is much stronger as the had to beat arizona, whereas St. Joe's biggest test was Dayton, even though they only won by 2 today, Dayton is a better team han UMass

 

but neither are #1. Duke is

i'd say the two best teams (not record wise) are Duke and Mississippi State.

I would not want to play either of those teams.

 

I would want to play St. Joes, though. The only ranked team they beat is a team that plays Pepperdine and San Diego St. every night.

St. Joe's also played and beat Gonzaga.

 

 

Ok. State you could of made an arguement.....until they lost to Missouri.

 

 

Duke lost two in a row.

 

 

Duke WILL NOT win the NCAA Title this year.

well if there is one team I dont want to play, it is the Spartans

 

they are playing great

Against sh***y Big 11 competition. Tell me when they beat a real team.

duke finishes #1 every year

and usually choke on it big time in march

 

at least they get the chance to blow it in march (damn tar heels :banghead )

stanford will make it to the final four

 

i think a lot of teams are underestimating st joes cuz of their schedule, but make no mistake: that team is good. real good

at least they get the chance to blow it in march (damn tar heels :banghead ) The Heels will be in the tourney as long as they win at home against Clemson next Tuesday or if they somehow beat Duke or State on the road. Even if they lost all 3 they would still have a good shot at getting in the tourney. I guess there is nothing to blow though if you are a mid level seed, so you can only go up from there.

the next 8 days will decide their fate

 

if UNC can beat NCSt tomorrow and beat Clemson in the middle of the week, well be there in march

 

if we cant go 0-3 nest week and lose in the 1st rd of the ACCs, then were NIT Champs

The #1 seeds:

Duke (top seed), undefeateds, Kentucky/Mississippi State.

I agree w/ duke, stanford, st. joes, kentucky/msu. Whoever wins the sec tourney will determine the last #1 if both teams win the rest of their regular season games.

no love for Pitt as a number #1 seed?

no love for Pitt as a number #1 seed?

edit: nevermind

Nope. Not before the game either. And what an awful game it was, for both teams. I don't care if both teams play good defense, 30% shooting and a scores that can't break the 50 mark in overtime?!

 

Fun little fact: There is only one team in all of the 14-member Big East that has more than half of their wins against average-to-great (RPI 1-100) teams, Providence. All the others packed up on cupcakes.

yea providence!
