Not sure what UConn has to do with Kentucky but I'll try to explain it to you.

UConn was No. 2 when they lost to Georgia Tech. As an aside, Unranked at the time but No. 15 now. UConn dropped to No. 7 after the loss.

UConn then dropped four more after losing to No. 3 Louisville to No. 11.

They then moved up after two teams above them lost to No. 9.

We will see where they are on Monday after losing to Oregon this week. Oregon should be ranked. Maybe No. 10 or 11.

Hope that helps.

As long as Ucant drop to 20 or 23

Why Oklahoma was ranked so high is beyond me!! Letting someone 61 on them is crazy. 61 freaking points

 

[VolBall09]

Would be great if UGA could go ahead and beat Ole Miss in their next game. Would protect us even a bit more at the top. I think that will be a really good game. Two teams with very similar styles that matchup really well this season.

Their offense is legit. Problem is it hasn’t seen much defense so far this season.

 

[Orange_Mamba]

Seems like Baylor was their only good win. Seems like the rest of the teams they’ve played don’t even have 10 wins on the season.

 

[VolBall09]

I’m watching VaTech and NCState. So far VaTech is bringing it. They are a hot and cold team. Sometimes they just don’t show up to play like the UNC game. But of a slow start but using really tough defense to take a lead after the first quarter.

 

[cricks12]

if Va Tech can beat NC State we could possibly be #3 in the new AP poll

 

[LadyOrange]

Baylor pounding Iowa State.

 

[Dak1219]

Virginia Tech playing NC State tough. Hoping Virginia Tech gets the "W". Would make our number 1 seed chances better if we can continue to win.

Likewise, we need VA Tech to get a win over NC State. It helps our RPI and increases the chance we move up on tomorrow's AP poll.

 

[Volfan2012]

Ayoki Lee scores 61 points and Kansas State wins big over number 14 Oklahoma.

 

[Volfan2012]

Baylor destroyed Iowa State and both Joens sisters were back.

 

[Volfan2012]

Every team in the SEC now has two losses except Tennessee with none, Sc and Ole Miss with one. We really need Georgia to beat Ole Miss they only have three more games I figure they might lose.

 

[creekdipper]

Super messy finish to this Kentucky/Ole Miss game. Not a lot of coaching going on either direction the last few minutes.

But so much sideline energy!!!

 

[stlvolsfan]

The Kentucky fans seem to think she has lost her rapport with her team. I would agree. They have stopped playing defense and rebounding almost entirely which is a good indication the coaches have lost them. Lots of accusations that the players have been having personal relationships with one another and it is affecting team chemistry. I believe there is some truth to that just watching them interact several times.

It’s a really strange issue that is tough to navigate in women’s collegiate sports. It doesn’t come up in the men’s game really ever that I can think of. I do believe personal relationships are totally inappropriate within a team though. Too much risk of affecting everyone in a negative manner if it does not work out. I think it’s pretty immature to be more concerned with dating your teammate than winning with them anyhow.

The women’s soccer program at my college had a similar issue. Had been really good and were coming off an NCAA tournament push. They had several girls who started dating one another in the off season and it totally imploded the team. They won like two games the next season. Had a bunch of transfers that were not comfortable with what was going on in the locker room. And disciplinary issues for those who stayed. Two of the girls ended up getting kicked off after trying to fight one of their ex boyfriends. It was just an unholy mess.

Didn’t Zaay and Meme date? I mean it can work, plenty of spouses work together everyday. Chicago just won a championship with a married couple on the team. With that being said, I get what you’re saying.
