Seems about right after last weeks results.

A Purdue loss away from Barnes becoming the first coach ever to have multiple #1 ranked teams here.

What’s Kentucky ranked?

Who will lose first, Purdue or UT? Still worried about Ky and Bama. We could play either one of those twice more this season.

They're not

In the trash can

Been a fun season so far.

CRB’s also about to catch Devoe (5) and pass Green (4) with consecutive NCAAT appearances. Devoe had 5 consecutive (1979-1983), Green had 4 (1998-2001), and Bruce had 6 (2006-2011). Barnes might stretch it out to a dozen. 2018, 2019, 2020 (cancelled), 2021, 2022, and 2023. 2024 should be #6 (in 7 years with the COVID skip in 2020). 2024 plus 2025 would be the all time best. His critics about to scream that he wouldn’t have made it in 2020 in 3… 2… 1… (even though that team would have also had an opportunity to get the automatic bid).

This week we have @Florida and Auburn

Purdue has Penn State and @Indiana

Hoosiers are playing good ball right now. Wouldn’t shock me if Purdue gets tripped up there.

 

[TartanTurff]

Still got Auburn, Mizzou, Alabama and Arkansas showing up at Thompson Boling, other than Iowa State, there are no Big 10 teams in the top 20 this week, wouldn't expect Purdue to lose the rest of the way, tough week in the SEC getting rolled by the Big 12 in the last year of the series, but Tennessee needs to stay healthy and hungry in the drive to the SEC tournament

 

[volfanhill]

Happy to be wrong. Didn't think we would jump Houston

Isn't Iowa State in the Big 12?

LIke Coach says... we need to keep trying harder is the key to success

 

[turbovol]

Whew: It's a week when fans can't moan and complain about NCAA voters, ESPN, TV commentators not liking or respecting UT.

 

[Johnnyreb#VFL]

Screw Purdue. We’re way better than those a$$ clowns

 

[WillisWG]

What’s Kentucky ranked?

Well let's put it this way, the Barn is othe ranked SEC team at 25; other SEC team receiving votes Missouri, TAMU and Arkansas.

No

Accept for the 8 foot tall monster they have in the post!

Purdue’s schedule rest of the way out is a lot easier than ours. We’ll drop a couple and that’s ok.

 

[Volfan2012]

Got a bigger target on our back now. Certainly makes teams light up when they see that number two coming to town. Expect a very tough game with the Gators hope we are ready.

 

[EricFreakingBerry]

Has there ever been a college who has been ranked #1 in baseball, football, and basketball in the same season? (Basing it off of the year the season began in all 3 sports)

We're a Purdue loss and consistent winning away from that being a possibility.
