KU KU drops to No. 18 in coaches’ poll; MU leaps to 10th - Page 2

**Bearcat** · 02-16-2009, 12:47 PM

Interesting that Mizzou jumped Arizona State, who technically had a better week (beat then #6 UCLA, who I thought was overrated at 6, because they had NO clue what to do in the final couple of minutes against ASU).

A lot of teams around 10-20 lost this week, so outside of jumping ASU, I guess Mizzou deserves to be there in a power-ranking/who's-playing-well-right-now sort of way (no offense

).

Mizzou has a stretch of KSU-@KU-OU while KU has Neb-@OU-MU and KSU has @MU-Neb-@OSU. Should be fun.

We have Iowa State before Nebraska. Both at home.

Then @OU, MU, and UT.

Four of our last 5 at home. I'll take it!

Yeah, I skipped the Colorados and ISUs of the world... Mizzou has to take care of CU before their stretch and KSU has some random OOC game and ISU before their stretch.

I'm glad this stretch is coming now, because it'll tell us a lot more about the team. If it was in January (2 road games in Columbia and Manhattan, followed a week later @OU, etc), they would have looked awful to start conference play. Playing KSU at home when they were struggling, Colorado twice in January, and not-terribly-difficult road games in Ames and Lincoln is what they needed at the time, which will only help them now.

I don't take any conference game for granted. Though we should beat both fairly easily at home.

This is fun having this discussion with the 3 schools still very much in it.

I hate Duke as much as anybody, but if you look at the teams they lost to, you'll figure it out.

Ok.

Lost: @ BC
Lost: #3 UNC
Win: Miami (OT)
Lost: @ #13 Clemson
Lost: @ #7 W.F.

Sorry man. I understand what you are saying, but there is only one other team in the country that could handle those losses and remain in the top 10 and that is UNC.

Duke is 5th in RPI and have had one of the toughest schedules in the nation. A 20-5 record considering that is very good. And yet you want these voters to put them behind Missouri?

I'm glad they've played a tough schedule, but they still have lost 4 of 6.

You are biased here (your hatred for the ACC conference and Duke is blinding you).

Good for Mizzou.

Seems like a long way from the Snyder days, all of a sudden.

Synder is still love in all the hearts of KU fans... He was the best! I will always miss him... Good Times...
