Ohio State #1?

**Aslan** · 11-30-2011, 01:18 AM

After their dismantling of Duke tonight, do they jump UK for the #1 position?
I hope not, but even when we do win both our games this week, I could still see them jumping us.

***Wildcatk23*** · 11-30-2011, 01:19 AM

They looked rather special. But then again they didn't look all that impressive against florida. Maybe its just because duke was overrated?

Eaxcatly WHAT did they show tonight to make ANYONE think they can play with UK? Duke is NOT a top 10 team, Not even a legit top 15.

No. We get to introduce North Carolina to another dose of KENTUCKY BASKETBALL before the next rankings come out.:truestory:

40-0

Ohio State played very well tonight.
And Duke played very bad.

I don't think Duke anticipated OSU to be able to pass the ball so well out of that zone.
And I don't think anyone anticipated Duke to airball all of those 3s and go 10 deep into the bench to give their 8th 9th and 10th men big-time minutes.

OSU looked good and played well tonight....
but I don't think UK should drop unless they lose.
If UK beats UNC there is no way they drop.

In Coach Cals words....
"Are there number 1 votes for other teams because they think that or the hope that were not number 1"
If we dont lose Saturday, we'll still be number 1

Thats what i call bad trolling.

I hate Duke as much as the next Kentuckian, but they're definitely a top 10 team. Tonight was an exaggeration.

4_real · 11-30-2011, 05:43 AM

anyones a top 10 team if you won't go to anyones home court and play because you know the refs arent as easily paid off.

**Stardust** · 11-30-2011, 11:18 AM

dUKe was manhandled last night, but to say they are not a special team is just plain foolish. We hear the EXACT same thing every year that the Devils were overrated! There is hating, then there is ridiculousness! I'm confident that every UK fan on here hates the Devils and wants them to lose every game they play, but most fans here respect what they have accomplished! They graduate kids and they win more games on their schedule than they lose. What's to not appreciate about that! I don't like them, but that's the competitive "my team is better than your team" mentality. But the beat other great teams every year. They will this year to!

Even pollsters aren't that dimwitted. Despite the loss to UNLV,
it's VERY difficult to make a case that UNC isn't better than OSU.
And do expect anything other than a UK win Saturday?

How SO? Who did OSU lose after holding the number 1 spot last year? Why is it easy to make a case that UNC is better than OSU after they just lost to UNLV and OSU killed Duke by 20.

Diebler and Lighty, 2 VERY integral parts of their offense.
Yet even if they ARE as good this year as they were last
year, do you think that puts them on the level of UK and
UNC THIS year? You don't think that despite an FF appearance
last season, that this edition of the Wildcats isn't MUCH
stronger? I'm tickled to death with what the team did
last year, but at the same time hope we NEVER have
a team that weak, and bench-short again.

Now losing to UNLV SHOULD show folks that UNC is
far from the unbeatable juggernaut the preseason pollsters
implied. but I also recognize that even with the poor
D UNC brought to the trey line, UNLV won't shoot it that
well most of the time. And just don't see OSU having the
horses to match up with UNC, let alone UK, when both
teams are playing well. I can certainly see the Buckeys
knocking off either if they didn't play up to par. UK
did the same to the Buckeyes last year after all.

Well I predicted UK to go 40-0, as you can see via my signature. So yeah, obviously I believe UK will win and win by 10+.
But IMO OSU is better than UNC. I've watched them both play. Is either team on UK's level? No. But OSU is closer than UNC.

**HawksRule** · 11-30-2011, 05:58 PM

Not sure who that cat is but Ohio St looked unreal last night and would kill UNC.

***Spud6*** · 11-30-2011, 06:28 PM

I doubt they will!!

**theVILLE** · 11-30-2011, 06:39 PM

Love them or hate them, Duke is a legit team. they have one of the best freshman PG's if not the best this season and he is going to be a "diaper Dandy" However OSU is just that good, they are the best looking team. Sullinger is a man child, adn buford is amazing player. Also Craft was the key to there success last night. he develpoed a jumpshot, which is dangerous, and I think he had a double double? Correct me if Im wrong! And he had like 2 turnovers. thats good numbers for a PG. SO OSU is my #1 teams.

RoShamBo · 11-30-2011, 07:03 PM

If we ever got Duke in a true home game we would beat them by 40. (I can say that because we will never get a true home game with Duke)

Have to look at both sides there.. Duke would probably kill UK if they played at Duke

With there current teams? Laughable.

MAYBE if they paid the refs off, just MAYBE but no

**theVILLE** · 11-30-2011, 09:55 PM

Can you explain that??? UK hasnt really played in a TRUE road enviornment this season and they wont until conferece play. I dont think UK could beat duke 40 at rupp... Yes the home team would always win in a series with the 2 teams. Thats why I vote they play a neutral game every season

RoShamBo · 11-30-2011, 11:44 PM

Oh I was just joking, but I disagree I don't think we would get beat badly by Duke anywhere.

**Ballers** · 12-01-2011, 01:33 PM

In answer to the question "Should OSU jump over UK for #1"?
No, they shouldn't..
UK was ranked #2 for a reason just like OSU was ranked behind them for a reason..
UK should stay at #1 as OSU beat someone by 20 that was ranked below them - big deal.

**theVILLE** · 12-01-2011, 04:04 PM

I could see how an osu fan could make the argument to be ranked 1, but I don't think think they will
