I mean LSU best two wins of the season came last week. USC is undefeated so you could put them in there at 10 but they have literally played no one
You are keeping Purdue that high? Even with another loss last Friday? Why do you have Kentucky ahead of LSU? LSU beat them just last week
Ah. You are one of those types when it comes to ranking? All about your perception of what you think should happen verses what has actually happen? Also trusting Purdue in March? LOL Do you know Purdue basketball history at all?

It will be hard to score on auburn with him out there. He fouled out the other night and barely played in 2nd half. Auburn doesn’t have to worry about doubling anybody with him behind. Then having 6’10 Jabari right next to him and good luck scoring inside. Teams will have to be on fire from 3 to beat auburn
Wendell struggled early in the season when he was starting. He is actually coming off the bench now but still playing more minutes than zep jasper. The now starter. I don’t know why but Wendell seems much better off the bench
Kentucky doesn't have a single decent win on the year.
At some point it has to be what actually transpires on the floor. Beating little sisters of the poor by 10+ doesn't mean much. 1 quad1/quad 2 win and 9-0 vs quad 4. Play somebody and beat them.
The season is half over. If you don’t have good wins by now you should be ranked in the appropriate spot. Kentucky’s resume isn’t close to top 10.
I don't see LSU there either, They got really lucky against us. After no point guards in the game we scored 10 pts in the last 9 minutes. Without Wheeler or Washington, we were lucky to be in the game. Not to mention Oscar missed 9 minutes in the first half and we shot terrible in that half.
Kansas isn't even close to being in AU league either so they need to take a back seat. LSU is pretty good but they have scoring issues against good teams and got lucky against UK with those gaurd problems. I'd put them in the 10 to 14 range although they will win most games at home like everyone else. AU is Top 5 and will be a solid Dance team.
WTF does that have to do with anything? And why the **** would you bring up someone's basketball history? Auburn has 10 NCAAT bids----Period.
The fact that Auburn as crappy as we have been has more final 4’s than Purdue does in the last 40 years pretty much tells the story
Its your ONLY Final Four.. Auburn has TEN TOTAL NCAAT's.
So this is what iu fans have become now? Purdue beat coach in history didn’t make a final 4. Defenders of Purdue? Iu fan really?is Because IU can’t beat Purdue anymore. I will take auburns current squad over Purdue for sure. Will take auburn under pearl for the next 5-10 years as well.
I'm not defending Purdue---I 'm pointing out your absolute stunning ignorance...and stupidity. "Program bragging" from a team with 10 total NCAAT is ****ing the dumbest shit ever.
Pointing out that the team with the most big ten championships of all time routinely has sucked in March is not Ignorance. Matt painter is a part of this. Auburn has a more successful tournament coach than painter. What Auburn did prior to pearl is not relevant as he has changed auburn. Matt painter on the other hand has basically been the exact same as gene keady. Great regular season coach. Sub par tournament coach. Thus it’s fair to point out Purdue March issues as their current coach has had issues as well.
WIll you quit guessing, and do some actual research?
Bruce Pearl has two elite 8’s. Nice job mr. research
My bad, forgot about his Elite 8 @ Tenn...SO he has one more Elite 8....And a FF. Yeah, he's light years ahead of Painter.
You damn right I am. Matt
You damn right I am counting USi’s natty: they haven’t won it again since pearl. What you aren’t getting is that pearl has been doing these things at programs that haven’t ever done these things. Pearl has now taken 4 different schools to postseason heights they had never been to before. While painter is just essentially status quo at Purdue. Doing the exact same that keady did.
SO I reckon I can say Bo Ryan is a better coach/tourney coach than---Pearl? Or hell, even Calipari? Or Roy Williams, Bill Self, or even Bob Knight? I mean after all, Ryan won 4 National titles at Wisconsin-Plattesville....Went to 5 Final Fours and 6 ELite 8's....Then at Wisconsn, he went to two Final FOurs, 3 ELite 8's and had a runner-up.
Pearl isn’t leaving Auburn. Auburn won’t lose a bidding war for him. sEC money is changing the game. Their ah a reason you are seeing sec basketball schools rise up. The money gap is only growing as well. Our arena will be named pearl arena and Steven pearl will be auburns next coach. You are clueless and I would put a grand down at minimum to say he retires at auburn. No school will outbid Auburn for him
Because auburn has a game changing coach. Purdue has a status quo coach. As previously said Bruce elevates programs to new heights. Thus auburn before pearl is not relevant as we didn’t have a coach of that caliber. Matt painter is just a continuation of gene keady. Also as an IU alum I can rip on Purdue whenever I feel like it
So they have plenty of opportunity to earn their way there. Has not occurred yet though
