First of all I could care less about preseason rankings etc . but came across this and it just justified how little so called experts know. Ken Pomeroy the Kentucky suck up really out did himself this time. Here's some reality for your statistics buddy.
NORTH CAROLINA ....Sailed thru the final four with 5/6 guys basically taking down their biggest rival ( for the second time in a few weeks ) also the 16 seed that killed your Wildcats then took the eventual champion down to the wire ( losing by 3 pts ) in THE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME with their best player hobbling up and down the court and you place them at the bottom of the top ten in your STATISTICAL ratings to begin the 23 season and your KenSucky team number ONE ? All of this when Carolina is bringing back all the starting lineup except Manek but replaced Manek with a player that very well could be even better suited for this team than he was. Add to that a bench highly likely to be a strength this year verses a liability and you spit in their face with this garbage . Like I said it just confirms why I never call these people experts . They are like the weatherman. They can say anything and keep their job . Sorry for the rant. If someone can explain all this to me give it a shot but I doubt it seriously . Here it is ............ 😎 🥁✌️
Beginning of season
