Basically yes.


Everyone is hot frickin garbage.

I didn't want to put St Bonnies, Miami, Nevada, UK or Florida.

however, the last 5 teams are really really hard to choose from.

UK went on a 4 game win streak that included 3 top 55 wins, and Despite losing to florida, I think they are figuring things out and will be dangerous in the tourney.

Florida is coming around. I think they are as dangerous if not more so than UK.

UC is 8th in both the coaches and AP. Jumped my Michigan in both. I understand they had a great week, but why are we getting jumped when we beat the 11th ranked team in a true road game.

End of Regular Season PER

Clark 29.4
Evans 21.8
Washington 21.1
Broome 18.5
Scott 18.3
Cumberland 16.0
Brooks 13.7
Moore 12.6
Jenifer 12.2
Nsoseme 10.4
Williams 9.4

Cumberland really climbed later in the year.
Everyone was within about +/-1 in AAC play and non-con. Except Nsoseme was 12.7 in AAC. And Brooks, Moore and Williams were all 10.8 and lower in AAC.

I'd say anything above 15 in college is pretty good/starter level.

It’s all about good weeks.

They beat Purdue, & Michigan state in the same week. Outside of Virginia, they probably have the most momentum going into the tourney

Fortunately for us though their work is done. We still have a chance to pick up another few wins and move back in front if we take care of business. They're basically just the guy who finished first and is waiting in the club house to see if they get passed.

I know Michigan is hot right now and have won 9 straight since the bracket reveal 4 weeks ago but now they have to sit for nearly 2 weeks before playing another game. I am not sure that is a good thing. I could see them getting slightly overseeded because of their strong finish and then get upset in the tournament.

But didn't you specifically say that you and other voters this time of year go by the entire resume not just what have you done this week.
