Tbh I’d rather us be the ones to take down a top ranked Pearl squad. But I’ll still be happy regardless.
Wow.....we are not even close to them. Are you serious?
UNLV won a natty in the early 90s too.Historically? Arkansas has the edge, clearly; ten Elite Eight appearances (UT bows out here), six Final Fours, two title games, one natty? There’s no argument.
Contemporarily speaking? I agree with golfballs in that Tennessee gets the nod. And given that this isn’t akin to comparing an all-time great (Texas) to a relative ingenue (Boise?) a la football, I feel the assessment is quite valid.
It could still happen. We don’t play them for 2.5 weeks and basketball gets pretty wild down the home stretch. There’s always a chance they get ranked back up there. Gonzaga plays Saint Mary’s this weekend so that’s no gimme. Purdue is going to lose between now and then. We could beat Kentucky. Arizona is the one that may not lose between now and then unless they lay an egg against Oregon. Lots that can happen until then.Tbh I’d rather us be the ones to take down a top ranked Pearl squad.
