Official LRA Elite 8 Preseason Poll Results:

  1. Kansas
  2. Duke
  3. Purdue
  4. Other**
  5. UConn (#4)
  6. Tenn. (#5)
  7. Zags (#6)
  8. Houston (#7)
  9. Zona (#8) **

** I don’t think any other teams got more votes than Zona’s 23, so technically Zona is #8, I think.

Compared to AP, we are low on MSU (AP#4 / LRA #11) and Marquette (AP#5, LRA#10) and high on Tenn. (AP#9, LRA#5), Zags (AP#11, LRA#6), and Zona (AP#12, LRA#8). I’m with LRA on the first two (MSU and Marquette). I’m not with LRA on the Zags (I think even #11 is too high) and I’m not sure about Zona and Tenn.

We are not the foremost Elite 8 based poll for nothing.

We are better than Michigan State. Moreso because They are not a top 20 team.

No 3pt shooters. Too heavily dependent on their pg. Put Reece on him and its Louisville with a better coach

Yep. JMU is also probably in the 70-80 KenPom range. Michigan State looked straight up rough though

And yet, MSU will still likely win two games in the tournament.

Pfff. Who cares? Two games? So what. Take it to the Sweet 16 poll thread. :joy:
