Cats fall to #4

Cats fall to #4

Kentucky knew they would only spend one week at the top of the college basketball rankings after their loss to South Carolina and it was just a matter of where they would land. Today they got their answer as they landed at #4 in the AP Poll, holding on to one #1 vote. Kansas took the spot previously occupied by UK with Villanova and Syracuse filling the other spots ahead of them.

Also, DeMarcus Cousins got screwed out of the SEC Freshman of the Week award after his 24 points and 11 rebounds last week got beat out by Arkansas’ Marshawn Powell and his 15.3 and 6.8. Cousins was also statistically better than the SEC Player of the Week, a South Carolina point guard who will remain nameless.

This is a good spot for them.

i have a feeling we will be back to the #1 spot before the season is over. not a big deal.

We should be #2, but as long as we are in the top 4 I'm not gonna complain.

I am not too worried. If we were going to lose, and in the past 34 years everyone always loses one game, I think it came at a good time. Coach Cal has a chance to teach with all eyes and ears focusing on his words and actions. We are 5-1 and lead our division. The freshman need to focus on winning the regular season championship first. The second half of the season started this past Saturday when we took care of Vandy.

With the press in NYC and the Big East being that city's conference, I'm not surprised we dropped to 4th behind Kansas, Villanova & Syracuse. It's all good though, we're still very much in the running for a #1 seed.

I agree we will probably be #1 again. I'm really not happy with some of the shot selections from Dodson especially. We have 2 of the best big men in the country and we have got to get more high percentage shots near the basket.
