Because there about a dozen better teams that deserve more than them.Their losses are to Kentucky, Syracuse, a good Miami team, and they got sniped by a hot Clemson team at the time.
Why is their ranking so bad?
I agree with this. They also have nice wins over UNC and Indiana. I loathe Duke, but they are not a ridiculous inclusion in the top 25.Their losses are to Kentucky, Syracuse, a good Miami team, and they got sniped by a hot Clemson team at the time.
Why is their ranking so bad?
no amile jefferson and all these loses come up, should duke still have been ranked this week, i don't believe solost again. Now 15-6 and 4-4 yet still in top 25. Travesty. It's nbeluevable how a name carries so much weight.
The guys who are on the bench and fit what you said are playing a lot off the bench. The rest of the bench isn't good and they have no developed big men outside of Jefferson and the 47th Plumlee brother. Chase Jeter should get better as the season goes on, but he's still pretty raw. Brandon Ingram is picking up some of the slack, but he would much rather play on the perimeter.Why doesn't Coack K play his bench more? Almost his entire bench could start for most of the country.
As far as Larranaga, let's see what he does without Rodriguez next season. He's the key component, and the most clutch player in the country imo. I know they have a solid class coming in, but still.
Yes, I do. Not unlike to Duke's situation. WSU wont lose again and will rise in the rankings. Major conference teams of similar ability will lose games and be ranked far behind. WSU is a bigger example of bad ranking than Duke imo.You do know that WSU's losses came when their All American point guard was injured. We beat them at full strength and they haven't lost since.
