Duke is the unanimous No. 1 team in this week's ESPN/USA Today coaches poll, while Connecticut vaulted from being unranked into the top 10 after winning the Maui Invitational. Duke received all 31 first-place votes from the panel of coaches. The Blue Devils are also a unanimous No. 1 in The Associated Press media poll. Unbeaten Ohio State (5-0) climbed a spot to No. 2, followed by Pittsburgh (7-0), Kansas (6-0) and Kansas State (5-1), which fell a spot after losing to Duke last week. But the biggest mover of the week was UConn, which is No. 9 thanks to its title march in Maui, which included wins over then-No. 2 Michigan State and then No. 9 Kentucky. The Huskies are 5-0 on the season and don't face a ranked team again until a Dec. 27 meeting with No. 3 Pittsburgh. The Huskies are No. 7 in the AP poll, thanks in large part to guard Kemba Walker, who is averaging 30 points a game this season on a team that has five freshman playing significant minutes. Michigan State, which picked up a pair of first-place votes last week, fell to No. 6 in the ESPN/USA Today poll after losing to Connecticut in Maui. Syracuse (6-0), Missouri (5-0), UConn and Baylor (4-0) round out the top 10.
That's cool. If you wanna call them Big East champs on November 29th then go ahead. I mean if you wanna fucking crown their ass then crown 'em. But by the time the ball drops on December 31st and I'll be so drunk I might not survive, UConn will have already lost at least 2 games and we'll all be talking about how we need to get that loving, Maui feel back. Fact.
