Congrats to the staff and team. Now go get a huger seed.
3rd NCAA is a LOCK
- Thread starter Caliknight
- Start date
Not quite a lock but greater than 50/50 even without beating Minnesota
Have to take care of business against Minnesota and then it's a lock
its a q4 and we have 3 Q3 losses. Yes we have tons of wins but if we drop the last 2 and big ten tourney at 18-14 it isnt total lock
Agree, but as I said in my thread on this, I'm guessing we're 80/20 in - would need to have all kinds of bubble mayhem to not make it - and I still think we get a tiny amount of credit for the OSU "loss" (the kind of credit that might move us up 1-2 spots in the pecking order, which could make the difference).
Seal the bid Thursday night beating Minnesota ! Then Sunday vs NW becomes a party!
I'm thinking 18-14 would probably put us back in Dayton but I dont want to have to find out. I want a stress free Selection Sunday
Lol at lax Jersey chaser telling BAC about ncaa tournament bids
It’s a Q3 right now (and if we lose, it will almost certainly stay a Q3).
you never want to throw a Q4 on your resume late and then not win another game, while perception shouldnt matter with the committee, I am not convinced alot of the pre selection noise does not effect me
They have admitted in an interview that they do glance at the bracketmatrix to make sure they are not making some egregious mistake with a seed or selection. No Im not saying they use it, its just its hard to block out the noise

well its 238 and Q4 is 241 but yeah you do have a good point, a win by them would vault them at least 15-20 spots, it still would be a hideous loss tho
If this is the turnaround win to get the team going with Simpson playing more at PG, I want to see them win vs Minnesota and beat Northwestern at home too
Not a lock if we go 0-3 from here out. There are bid stealers in conference tournaments every year. Win Thursday and I say it's locked up.
Just ignore. Lots of tough/disrespectful guys on the internet
We know he was never an athlete. I was just curious what that means. I don’t need to chase jerseys. I have the ones I wore playing D1 framed in my home office.
Must mean something else to him.
As I posted earlier today win these next two ( tonite) and Minnesota and the pressure is off as a bubble team. Now go beat Minnesota and then finish it at home at against Northwestern.
There’s been a lot of hostility on several threads. You would think all would be elated with that insane win ! I guess some just need some excuse to be angry
Lets beat Minny and lock in our bid...then go out and beat Northwestern for a send off party for the tournaments and secure a higher seed
Well for what its worth torvik's algorithm thinks that we are literally the first team out if we lose to Minnesota, Northwestern, then lose (in this simulation's case, to Wisconsin) in the BTT.
Given that his algorithm has rated us higher than most all season, I would say that no - we are not a lock.

Per Brad Wachtel, we're the only team in the field with 3 or more Q3/4 losses. Now granted, I think all 3 losses could be categorized as "high Q3", but we really need to show up on Thursday and not have a "low Q3" loss on the resume.

Yeah but counter that with Q1/Q2 wins. A team like UNC has 1(yes 1) Q1 win which just came against a reeling Virginia team
