I like to look at past history when considering an analysts projection. In 2023 Torvik had UCONN #60 and his lowest ranked final four team was Perdue @ #31. I don't even blink at what he says

[@LockedOnUConn]

I said it in the pod. What did he have em at last 2024? Before last season?

[@matthewsullivan5255]

Nailed it, my thing was the locker room and the fact they haven’t accomplished anything yet. People will be gunning for you and will use anything and everything against you. If this video was made in said a dorm room I still wouldn’t have gotten it, but mostly bc I’m 40+ and this isn’t for me, but I would’ve just kinda rolled my eyes and moved on.

@@matthewsullivan5255 I think most people are age would agree with that most people younger think it it is normal, and there’s people who are upset about it. It’s a big nothing burger, but it was enough for Dan to talk about it in his press conference today. He just doesn’t want to permeate throughout the culture of his team. Which makes sense to me, it’s mindless bullshit

Laser Focused with Tunnel Vision ! !

[@ryanharrison4058]

Torvik is good for end of regular season rankings. His preseason stuff is just a guess bc he can’t predict the future on how players are going to develop and fit.
