We are not getting enough respect!  This team is super athletic n i c us finishing top 3 n sec again.  Macon/Barford combo is just devastating for teams.

We better get more votes than UConn, OU and Oregon just to name a few.

I DEFINTELY agree!!! Where do you think our rpi will jump to?

We should be getting close.  Take care of Minnesota coming up and we'll get in.

We will be ranked on the new update tomorrow. Book it

Way too early to care about RPI, but for the record, it's now at 7.

We were just outside before this. I think with the quality win against OK and the epic beatdown we just put on UCONN we make it in.

Amen for wins but you cant leave out that quality loss. That works in our favor too...

I mean that it's November.    I'm excited about the team, about Jones rounding into form the last two games, Gafford getting a lot of great experience, etc., but the RPI is too volatile right now to get very excited about.

I agree about the RPI now, but an early 7 is better than an early 45

maybe. If SMC loses to UGA who their trailing, they might fall out of the top 25. leaving us the chance to creep in. Bama may fall out too after their loss to Minnesota, but maybe not. they are super overhyped right now.

The win over Oklahoma is going to be good.

They finish the PK-80 2-1 and beat Oregon today by 10.

Freshman Trae Young had a season-high 43 points against the Ducks.

Trae Young is really good.  Oklahoma is going to win a lot of games.

Ok. As for CJ if he can continue to catch and shoot in rhythm we should get more scoring out of that wing spot...Darius kick it up a notch too. What can you not say good about the Gaff?

These guys should get some quality minutes...That will be good for us.

Bama is getting a lot of love for cutting the deficit in that game to 5 with only 3 players.  I wouldn't be surprised if they stay in.

Because we've played one quality opponent and lost bad. Oklahoma won't end the season ranked and UConn won't even sniff post season play.

I can't give you any credibilty when you can't even take the time out to spell, "and I see." Not to mention, "top three in the SEC." How lazy are you? For Christ's sake, you spelled out, "devastating." Did that wear you out?

We've played 6 teams and all of them could be tournament teams.  4 or 5 of them definitely will.

Lol. This is why hog fans are seen as ignorant. It's sad. We have knowledgeable fans, it's just the idiots overshadow them.

I love how people see us play a game an immediately ask how we aren't ranked as if the voters vote on games that just finished. We should receive more votes, but we have yet to beat a ranked team. OU will make the NCAAT, but UConn likely will not. We lost by double digits to the only good team we have played this year. Keep winning and we will be ranked, but you can understand why an unranked team that lost 3 starters and signed 0 5* players is not considered a top 25 team 2-3 weeks into the season.

oldbooniehog

I hope the Hogs are really good this year.

No national respect yet because they have not earned any this year, and not much the last 20 years or so.

As to Gafford question, one thing to not like is his fouling. Fouled our today with more than 5 minutes left to play. He has to fix that, for sure.

Want to see them beat a ranked team and have hot start in conference play.

Trae Young is the real deal. One and done.

no we won't
why wouldn't we be? #7 in RPI, number 29 in KenPom, already had votes before this. Absolutely KILLED a decent UCONN team who just beat a decent Oregon team and beat An Oklahoma team who had more votes than us in top 25

Yea, he will fix it, and then he's a one and done by season's end.

I still think with a healthy roster including Garland and cook we are a legit top 15 team. What I think we SHOULD be and what will eventually happen may be 2 totally different things. We will likely be right at 25 come tomorrow. Even good ranked teams get beat by double digits by good top 10 teams.

Was watching Gafford and he gets himself in trouble by not knowing when to quit on a play, what I mean by that is, you will see him battle and battle for a rebound, but when the other player wins the battle and gets the ball, he has a bad habit of either reaching in for the cheap one or bodying the guy for the cheap one, has to learn when that play is over and get back on defense. Also has to learn to give up the basket at times and not get the foul under the rim contesting everything, give up  the two, keep yourself in the game.

Sorry, meant to say ranked team. I think we are a good team, but people crying that we aren't ranked when coming into this week is what is really ridiculous. We lost 3 starters off an unranked team that went 1-1 in the NCAAT, did not sign a top 10 class, and haven't be a top 25 team yet. That typically does not get you a top 25 ranking in the preseason. It is pretty easy to understand why we are not ranked at the moment. Beat Houston on the road and we are probably top 25.

Oklahoma will end up being a great win. They are good!

I can't give you credit either for running your mouth about a grammar or spelling error . If you expect posts to be grammatically correct on HV, you're really going to be disappointed.

I'm not disappointed, child. This is what I expect. I've said for years that the only people on Earth that are dumber than those who call into sports radio are the majority of posters on Hogville. Case in point.

Well son I guess like Clint Eastwood said, " A man has to know his limitations."  So now I know why you joined this board. However, this is a board that doesn't put up with a bunch of bs. Most of the time they are trolls who only come on here to stir up a mess. They don't last too long.

Yeah, it's great, I think his point was just that RPI is meaningless without a larger sample size.

Yep and when he corrects that he will stop fouling out which makes us a much better team
