Someone isn't drinking the Kool-Aid. 19-10?!

 

[oldguy-67]

He has Illinois at #47 so he's drinking the P-5 koolaid

I put no stock in that ranking. No Copeland. Says Milik is going to go up to 20 ppg. IDK about that either. Also lists Jefferson as a sophomore. Yeah, nothing to see here. :lol:

Evans at 10.5 PPG?

 

[TIMMY]

I have more faith in the Bart Simpson rankings

Would you have rated Illinois State better than #64?
Copeland will definitely average more than 4.8 PPG

Only if Illinois State is not listed prior to #63 :lol:

LOL Illinois at 47. Get beeeeeent. The difference between these two "rankings" is off by roughly 30% of all of the teams in college basketball.

I'm smelling an incredible amount of bias here. Out of the top 50, there are 5 teams from the non P6. 2 of them are Gonzaga and St. Mary's (who are both T25 teams anyway). Houston, St. Louis and San Diego St being the other 3.

Loyola Chicago returns most of their players including the Valley POY and is somehow ranked behind Penn St. and Northwestern.

Cmooooon.

He should average better than that per half.
