I can't believe people are giving them a B. Before the season most people thought this was a final 4 caliber team. Based on the Non conference (which was the question asked), have they looked like that at all? Florida, miss at, and Florida are not/ we're not good when we played them. None are ranked right now and Florida was only ranked because the pol didn't come out yet. 2-2 is fine for an average team but this team was supposed to be great. Can the turn it around? Yes. They might dominate the conference but based on the non conference, what was above average? (Which a B would be).

I still think this is a final four caliber team. So bringing it up again, UNC just lost to wofford, is their season over too? You act like because we lost to our RIVAL ON THE ROAD and lost to what was yes a beatable Florida team, but still a pretty good team none the less. Nobody is giving us an A, but a D? Really dude.

We beat them by 29 combined on the back end of a very tough stretch. I mean, if you watched the UCLA game and don't give credit for that performance, you have no idea how to appreciate good college basketball when it's right in front of you.

I give them credit. Good road win at ucla. but you have to take away credit the other 2. How much credit do you want for a average miss st team at home? Once again this is one of our 2 big wins and you want me to act like this is some kind of huge deal?

Maybe it is a C, but how is it a B? Our expectations were through the roof and they haven't played great. 3-4 teams we played aren't that good. That's not me being negative, that's the truth. We looked like crap against Florida. Those 4 games are basically all we have to go on. You can't base anything off the other games the teams were so bad. Even in our tournament we struggled with buffalo. This is above average?

The way you talk you sound like we should be 20-0 in only 13 games to get a B.

If we rank it a C then really the only way to make it a B would be to beat FLA and the only way to make it an A would be to have gone undefeated.

I literally said they can turn it around. Basing it strictly off non conference

It's not some HUGE deal lol, a good win doesn't have to be a HUGE deal. You're writing it off as if we barely beat them, or as if they were another nobody, good schedule or not they were still undefeated when they came here. And UCLA whether they're great or not (still will be in tourney despite you saying they won't a million times), we went on the road and thoroughly dominated them for 30 straight minutes including what a 17-0 run.

C factors in how they looked in those games. Xavier destroyed us. more weight is always going to get shifted to the games vs the better opponents.

Right, you out a Florida win on there, I give us an A- idk about a full on A lol just because we didn't play well at all at X

Sorry for the way I talk. It wasn't an above average non conference run for me. If you think those 2 wins are great, ok. You said ucla is 7-6. I said they were ok wins but that's all we got for a team with great expectations. And no I don't think we should be 20-0. Maybe 12-1 though with our schedule. Don't think that's to crazy

I guess I give more credit to the tournament we played in, and the Miss St and UCLA games.

It's unfortunate that the Florida and Miss State games weren't flipped. I feel like we'd have come out with more assertiveness if we hadn't just gotten wrecked at Xavier.

Fair enough. More weight should be given to the bigger games...I get that.

The other thing to factor in are how some other big time teams have struggled or even lost bad games AT HOME. At least we haven't been down that road. This board would lose it's mind...lol! I know a lot of our games have been against absolutely horrible teams...but we didn't really have any close calls at home either. So you have that to factor in

I'm not writing anything off. Good road win for the 10th time. We played great. These are facts. They are also a 7-6 team. I'm also not going to throw a party for it. I think that's fair

oh i think the order of that 4 game stretch was extremely unfortunate. the 5 days off before the x game, then a full week off before florida. we absolutely looked like a team completely out of rhythm in both those games. really tough to play well playing 1 time a week for 2 weeks.

Can we all agree that giving the an A- is crazier than me giving them a D? This is basically saying it was almost perfect
