They hate us so much they're trying to sabotage our SOS. No matter. We're #1 in Sagarin.

We also picked up a couple votes from IU.

Granted, just because you are paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get you. Nevertheless, the fact that Kentucky has lost 3 games, two to teams that were unranked when the games were played, and won only 4 may have more to do with their dropping out of the rankings than Duke hate. ;)

or that KY is willing to sacrifice their own season to hinder our SOS.

You are assuming a level of math proficiency and strategic thinking that, alas, is lacking.

Harrow has been back fro two games, has not started and played 9 and 18 minutes. He's 2-13 from the field. He's probably got to step up if UK is going to be a top 10 team, right? Archie Goodwin is averaging 4.6 assists but 3.4 TOs.

I don't trust Sagarin. They still have UK and UNC in the top 20-- so their system is still probably using heavy pre-season rankings. Interestingly, he has switched from ELO_CHESS to ELO_SCORE, which is again takes into account not only win/loss but also the final score of the game.

I do enjoy the fact that Duke has 5 wins against his top 25, while no one else has more than 2 (or 3 against the top 50).

Or as Raj on Big Bang would say: turn to Boom Boom.

I think you're talking to me, not graybeard. There is now some gray in my beard and temples and I am 36.
