The funniest ranking in history might be Evansville at 30th

I can’t believe they got so many votes. I figured one or two idiots would include them but that’s crazy.

Jack Embling from MI had them at 10th.

They're undefeated and beat the #1 team in the country at their place. I would have ranked them too.

You mean you have the brain capacity to get past them being "Evansville" and think they might actually be good? Not many can do that.

With that said, UK should have never lost to them...@ home...,or on the road.

I don't know if they're good or not. I haven't watched them. I just know they are undefeated and have the best win in the country so far. They're worthy of a top 25 spot IMO, especially since it's pretty unanimously agreed upon that the Top 25 is bs anyways.

Is Evansville in the Horizon League or Missouri Valley Conference.

The MVC has a few solid teams every year.
A very underrated mid major

 

[SpartanJD]

Does Louisville have a win over a ranked team? If not, I wouldn't have jumped them over MSU.

I’m sorry but winning while being a 25 pt underdog means you won on a fluke. That or the other team is massively overrated. Statistically, Kentucky wins that game 24 out of 25 times and probably half of them by double digits.

I don't know about all that.
For the most part even Vegas doesn't have a true grasp on basketball even in March let alone in November.

If Evansville is a solid team they will continue to win. There is no reason to say it was just a fluke and Kentucky isn't a solid team unless you are of course a Louisville fan.

Let's just agree that Kentucky is a massively overrated program most of the time.

 

[SheriffBufordTJustice]

MVC.

I googled it.
It is a solid basketball conference. Don't know much about Evansville the last few years but that conference is tough enough to create some quality basketball teams.

I'm aware that Kentucky fans will do and say whatever is necessary to convince everybody they are still the kings.

Usually just break out some stats. @Quavarius will just claim it w/o stats.

He has a lot of "extreme picks".

He does only have 3 biases though.

The narrative that there aren't any great teams yet makes you think that you could pretty much rank anyone anywhere right now
He just goes against the norm with the votes but truthfully his votes aren't any different because there is a lot of parity.

Greatest all time but not the current kings.

You wouldn't say the Lakers or the Celtics are the current kings of the NBA.

You wouldn't say the Yankees are the current kings of MLB.

You just can't believe that Kentucky are the current kings of CBB.

With that logic, the current champions are kings of the sport. UVA is the king of CBB? Is "King" just a trophy?

Which country just won the FIBA in basketball? Are they king of worldwide basketball?

Spain.

MSU has a loss.

I do find it humorous, the OP has said Kentucky 4 out of his 5 posts. The lone post that didn't include the word Kentucky was Evansville.

It’s true. No team should go from in the 100’s to 30th for winning a fluke 25 pt underdog game. Evansville is 131st in Kenpom still. It’d be different if Evansville actually played good. They shot like 38% from the field. Kentucky played 0 defense and Stone Hands literally let them get offensive rebounds.

Nice one Homey D.

Well done.

If transitive properties were fun, I'd say Evansville beat the team who beat the current #3 ranked team. They should be ranked higher.

If one of them picked them, maybe hes an idiot. But when a lot of them voted for Evansville, then perhaps they actually have a point.

Cue Evansville losing by 20 to some directional school....at home.

MSU gets a road win over a top 15 and Louisville jumps them, while playing Indiana State and NC Central? Ok lol.

MSU lost to a team that lost to the Purple Aces.

They can have it back.
UofL's first loss will probably be in January.

UK is favored by 25 tonight. Im not sure to feel confident or nervous.
