here's every AP voter's ballot. Our highest ranking on any ballot is #2, lowest is #11 by several voters

Cockeye is currently the biggest fraud in the nation at 23. Their metrics are propped up by the fact they beat a bunch of shitty teams by 40.

Stirtz woukd be about the 6th best guard we’ve played all year so far. In no order:

Boswell
Stojakovic
Thornton
Wilkerson
Haggerty

You could convince me that Fears is better.

Stirtz has an awful supporting cast as well.
 
Diasgree. Can't shoot it even close.

That’s true, maybe should have said “he has mannerisms of his dad”

What I remember about Peja was that he was a sniper. His son isn’t that guy. But he can get to the rim on literally anyone he wants.

But to my point, Stirtz is a one man team and I wouldn’t put him in the top 5 of guards we’ve played. I envision them fading extremely fast during the dog days of their schedule.

McCollum talks a pretty big game as well and tells all of those Cockeye fans exactly what they want to hear. He’ll have tenure there because he fires the fans up with his talk.
 
One bright spot in there is the Illinois guy voting us 3rd. Big from a team that we beat in their place. A nice bit of respect there.
The guy who covers Indiana also ranks us higher (5) as he probably knows how difficult it is to...
#1 - Win in Bloomington
#2 - Come back from 16 points and win in Bloomington.

Overall, we are being disrespected at this point. I honestly get it. The record says something completely different that our history.

Just keep winning baby.

They don’t look like a Big Ten team physically
