There is no doubt who the top team in America is. Go Gamecocks
Even with 1 loss, with their schedule they would still have to be considered #1.Even if we had lost by four, I doubt we would be ranked no less than two next week.
It's all good, but again the ranking which counts most is the final one after the dance.
Cannot underestimate chemistry. MBB suffers from the lack of it IMO. Chemistry helped propel the Yardcocks to the 2010 and 2011 national titles.After Watching their post game press conferences, both players and coaches, there's no surprise they're number 1. They are so composed, and it's obvious they play as a complete team. "Henny" said when the offense wasn't scoring, they knew that as a defense they had to step up and bolster them until they started scoring. You can see the chemistry they have on and off the court, and that they really care about one another. It's the part of playing sports I miss the most. The guys I played sports with were also my best friends, and some of the only friends I still have from high school. It's hard to beat a team that has that kind of chemistry; Coach Staley has fostered a culture of winning and accountability and it shows.
