Do you deserve respect for winning at Cameron Indoor? 

We are over-ranked after the win in terms of jumping that many spots, but I also think most of the Top 10 is over-ranked. I don't think there should be rankings until December 1 for College Basketball, but I understand the media attention.

I think that we will get to #1 this year. I also don't see why we wouldn't be able to hold it. This is a deep team and I didn't see Henri out there (not sure why, injury?).. so we are probably appropriately a Top 5 team as-is and I believe under-ranked preseason. I didn't expect Krivas to play much, but it looks like he is going to be part of the equation. He really needs to improve his agility. He's allowed to be slow, but he can't be unathletic and get away with it.

Ballo didn't look great to me. I think he peaked. The Moonball Lob is not a Go-To anymore for this team. I would like to see some better 3pt shooting as always and I do not think Keshad should be taking as many 3s as he did/does. It is a nice weapon to have in the arsenal, but I think teams will bait him into it often as the season goes on.
