Woof....Pitino pushing that rat poison out there

I wish Oats would stop saying during these interviews that we have more talented players than Iona. I mean he is obviously right but I would rather not give them bulletin board material to get fired up about.

Just a heads up. That SEC Inside episode started late bc a baseball game was on so it ain’t gonna record correctly. It comes on again later tonight tho.

Alabama is the only team in this year’s field to be a Top-3 seed and reside in the top 10 of the AP poll after entering the season unranked. Of the 54 teams to fit this profile since 1985, only 3 reached the Final Four...

They can get as fired up as they wanna get for all I care - we're gonna kick their arse.

I thought Michigan began the season unranked? Maybe they didn't though.
Either way, that's a hell of an accomplishment.

Didn’t Arkansas start unranked too?
Posted on 3/16/21 at 8:56 pm to Chadaristic
Michigan was #25 apparently
And yes I think Arkansas would also fit that bill, but they might not be in the Top 10 anymore after losing to LSU?

They were ranked 25th in the preseason AP poll.

If Michigan started the season #25 then how the hell in Juwan Howard National COY over Nate Oats?
Posted on 3/16/21 at 9:06 pm to mistaken4193
That B1G though.
Posted on 3/16/21 at 9:22 pm to mistaken4193
We probably weren't too far off from #25? Anybody got it in front of them?
I bet we were #30 or so once you work down receiving votes.

Not sure if I'm surprised that it's averaged about 1.5 times a season.
But only 3 to final 4 seems extremely low.
I don't know the numbers, but I'd guess of the 12 "Top 3 seeds"each season, I'd guess about it averages about 3 a season to reach the Final 4. Maybe a little less.

Yep. I have an uncle that raves about him. And Herb could very likely have a similar career.
