The NCAA Tournament, especially on Friday…was INSANE! Here’s a few sobering facts you should know the next time you fill out your brackets (after the jump):

Basketball AP Top 25 (Week 18): UNC Proves Superiority Over Duke

By ⋅ March 6, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

1. Kentucky (63) I have trouble seeing them lose another game this season. 2. Syracuse (2) The Orange have a #1 seed locked up, and are 30-1. They’ve proven to be the class of the Big East. Given the grueling nature of the conference tournament though, there is a very reasonable possibility that they could [...]

Basketball AP Top 25 – Week 17

By ⋅ February 29, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

1. Kentucky (63) The Wildcats are 28-1. Their only loss was on the road against the #18 team in the country. All of their starters could be taken in the first round of the NBA draft. What more is there to say? 2. Syracuse (2) I would like to know which two writers keep voting [...]

Basketball AP Top 25 – Week 16

By ⋅ February 22, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

1. Kentucky (63) Bold prediction of the week: the Wildcats will get a #1 seed. 2. Syracuse (2) Record-wise, the Orange have kept pace with the Wildcats. They’ve navigated a tough schedule and have a number of ways to beat you. With that said, a number of their games are very close. It’s good that [...]

Basketball AP Top 25 – Week 15

By ⋅ February 14, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

1. Kentucky (63) The Wildcats toyed with #14 Florida last week, but it was never a contest. They didn’t seem particularly challenged, pulling away at the beginning of the second half. The only doubts that remain with them are whether their inexperience will cause them to seize up in an important game. No one can [...]

Basketball AP Top 25 – Week 14

By ⋅ February 8, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

1. Kentucky (63) I would be remiss if I did not mention UK’s obliteration of #8 Florida last night. They are just amazing. Almost too much talent, if that’s possible. Last week Anthony Davis averaged 7.5 blocks per game. Blocks! That’s absurd. Chad Ford has four of the team’s starters ranked in the top 30 [...]

Basketball AP Top 25 (Week 13): Murray State Continues to Impress

By ⋅ February 2, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

1. Kentucky (63) Last week was another easy walk through the SEC for the Wildcats. This is the time of the season when malaise sets in though, so watch out for the upset. 2. Syracuse (2) The Orange won both of their games last week, but the absence of Fab Melo was evident. Unresolved academic [...]

Basketball AP Top 25 (Week 9): Baylor Enters Into Top 5

By ⋅ January 4, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

1. Syracuse (60) Last week was business as usual for the Orange. They opened the conference slate with walk throughs against Seton Hall and DePaul. Things will get a little tougher this week, with games against PC and No. 20 Marquette. No one gets through the Big East unscathed, so Syracuse’s first loss should come [...]

Basketball AP Top 25 (Week 8): Baylor Defeats Paul Quinn

By ⋅ December 27, 2011 ⋅ One comment

1. Syracuse (54) The Orange played the eclectic duo of Bucknell and Tulane last week, and they will get started with Big East play this week. They will play a school almost exclusively associated with Big East basketball (Seton Hall) as well as a school that people often forget is in the Big East (DePaul). [...]

Basketball AP top 25 (Week 7): Syracuse Continues to Roll

By ⋅ December 21, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

1. Syracuse (53) Solid win over NC State. I talked last week about how I didn’t think they were deserving of the No. 1 ranking. While they aren’t the best team in the country, they’ve done nothing to dissuade me from thinking they deserve to be No. 1 right now. They’ve done everything they’ve had [...]

Basketball AP Top 25 (Week 6): Indiana Marching Along

By ⋅ December 14, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

1. Syracuse (51) Do they really feel like the best team in the country to you? I would take a handful of teams against them on a neutral court. This No. 1 ranking is more a product of the schedule and other team’s losses than anything. The Orange are a Top 10 team, not a No. [...]

Basketball AP Top 25 (Week 5): Kentucky Continues to Roll

By ⋅ December 7, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

1. Kentucky (47) Did you see the Kentucky-UNC game?!?! It was ridiculous. The amount of talent on the floor was absurd, and I was transfixed the entire time. I don’t think there’s anything I can say that’s not already been said, so I’ll leave it at this: this season I’m rooting for whatever will lead [...]

Basketball AP Top 25 (Week 4): Look Out For the Rebels

By ⋅ November 29, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

1. Kentucky (46) The Wildcats continued to roll through significantly less talented teams last week, and that allowed them to step into the top spot after UNC lost. UK’s supremacy may not last long though – the two teams play on Saturday. 2. Ohio State (17) The Buckeyes played North Florida, VMI and Valparaiso last [...]

Basketball AP Top 25 (Week 3): Pittsburgh Panthers Fall

By ⋅ November 23, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

1. North Carolina (62) The Tar Heels didn’t do much this week. There were no games on aircraft carriers, just a sound victory over Mississippi Valley State, Jerry Rice’s alma mater. It wasn’t much of a test for them. 2. Kentucky The Wildcats, however, beat a really good Kansas team. They also had solid wins [...]

AP Top 25 Basketball Preview

By ⋅ November 13, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

1. North Carolina (62) There has been a nearly endless string of superlatives directed towards UNC in the past few months, so I’ll keep this short. They have NBA talent at every position, an elite playmaker (Harrison Barnes), the kind of elite point guard who is always present on their title teams (Kendall Marshall), and [...]
