Wow, Duke is finally out of both the AP and Coaches Top 25. When's the last time that's happened?

First time in 8 years

Dukie V is going to stroke out.

First time in 8 years

Which is apparently 167 polls.

 

Wowzers.

Wowzers.

I think that 167 weeks was just for the AP rankings. I believe this is the first time in 8 years they aren't in either the AP or Coaches Poll. Could be wrong.

It's about time. They should've been out of the polls last week.

Not sure if we talked about this when it happened but I just watched replay of the last minute of wake forest vs Virginia game. Man that was hard to watch wake choke that game away. If u would like to see a team blow a 7 point lead with the ball with 28 secs left watch the ending on YouTube. I just saw it on espnu show crunch time. Brutal

saw that too. Wow. Notre dame just smashed WF last night too. That loss isn't getting any better.

I dunno. I'm just reporting what CBS alerted me. They usually focus on coaches, but just AP sounds likely too. 167 polls is definitely not 8 years now that I took even a second to think about it, so you're almost certainly right.

Game winning shot is interesting if you think about how sports takes words that mean one thing and modify it. By which I mean, a game winner is always a shot right at the end, final possession, takes you from behind to win. But like, Yogi's 2nd free throw against Wisconsin in Assembly Hall with 3 seconds left to put us up by 4 (making it so we didn't lose or go to OT on the final buzzer beater three) was technically the game winner too, but no one would say it like that.

Baseball used to keep track of game winning RBI in the 80s. They stopped because they couldn't agree on what technically constituted the game winning RBI lol.

Sooooo... We're going up in the poll then?

Buddy Hield is fun to watch.

Hoping one of my subcontractors, or shoot, even the client, can hook me up with some tickets when I'm down in Norman the next few months.  Would love to see that team live!

3 ranked teams (UNC, SMU, and Baylor) lost last night. We're playing for #1 tonight.

IU had a similar run in the late 80s into the early 90s didn't they? Anyone know what our longest 'ranked' streak is?

[BlueDevil 8,687]

Went and checked at the Yum Center last night on a night I had literally nothing going on.. Place is immaculate. Only thing better than seeing UNC lose is seeing them lose in person!

Totally agree (and I like the NBA)

[biteoftheapple 4,115]

Lunardis current bracketology has IU as a #6 seed playing Valpo in the midwest bracket. Iowa is #1 in that same bracket.

i could live with that draw. Still waiting on us to beat a team with substance. Scared for the season's end.

[biteoftheapple 4,115]

Jerry Palm has us a #9 seed vs St Marys.

[Hovadipo 56,178]

Andy Bottoms (the best bracketeer, no seriously, he is...it's fact) has us as an 8 seed playing South Carolina.

[djsalway 4,161]

I say this every year and I'll say it again. Best place to get a good consensus of seeding is bracketmatrix.com (lists every bracket and where the teams are seeded in each one and then takes an average)

 

Anyway, the current consensus is us at a 7 seed, right next to Michigan.
