BACATOLOGY: 3/11 NCAA Tournament Analysis***Rutgers 95% in***
- Thread starter bac2therac
- Start date
yes its a small tick but with Marquette now a possible 2 it matters. Certainly not as strong as a win as Purdue but remember MSU has just one bad loss.
I think Joe needs to reassess Providence though even with Marquette going to 2. 6-8 in Q1/2 with 10 wins coming in Q4 and the predictive metrics suck, worse than ru
That’s a great point and an average loss delta of 7.5 a game. Would love to know where that metric is as opposed to the rest of the field.
way too late, the field is already selected
ESPN doing all they can to talk up ACC teams, lol. Rolling out the 'eye test' metric
So ditto on Memphis too then? Seton Hall also played Kansas. That’s why they only moved up to 78 with the Memphis win yesterday. FWIW, a Memphis win today would very likely propel SHU back into the top 75.
Has a 19 win team with a road win over #1 team ever been left out?
Brads commentary on rutgers in that video is embarrassing
he couldnt even remember who RU beat and then he basically downplayed beating 2 bubble teams in wisconsin and michigan and really downplaying a win at Penn State

there is no real time net and it wouldnt matter...the field is selected. SHU not moving up much based on results at this point, certainly not 3.
Add in we are 3-1 against the two teams playing in the BIG final
It really is the first thing I thought of and I bet I’m not alone.
Media recalibration per Coach. That whole Pike "phone smashing" thing hints that he was concerned about the team being distracted by erroneous coverage. He is sticking with that tactic. I wouldn't read too much into it.It really is the first thing I thought of and I bet I’m not alone.
He overcompensates. No one cares about the Mag injury. We won at Wisc and PSU without him. Almost beat Purdue again. He needs to stop with that, only hurts our case.
The committee almost certainly always takes injuries into account
This guy does media relations for the Committee
How you didn’t say “Church of Bracketology” was a missed opportunity.
They might give you a break if you lost games with a guy injured, like Creighton with Kalkbrenner. They don't ding you for injuries though.
Let’s hope our OSU ‘get out of jail free’ card keeps us out of Dayton.
Yup. If it doesn’t keep us out of dayton then they probably didn’t give us any credit at all for it. We’ll have to see.
Even if it’s a player out for the season? Like I doubt they ding us for losing without Mag, but since he’s out for the season aren’t they just going to count those results as usual or will they give us a small pardon for losing without him
I’m sure other teams have injuries to their 5 th starter or bench players. No one talks about it.
Still more confident we’re in this year than I was last year. Last year dayton was best case scenario. This year dayton is most likely the worst case scenario (outside of 5-10% chance we get snubbed)
Yes.. they will look at our overall record after the Mag injury and compare that to our overall resume and before the injury. The Tourney win and the tough game vs Purdue erased SOME of the doubts. I think we lost that first tourney game and badly as we lost out last game at the RAC we'd be OUT.. maybe first four out.. but OUT.
I say that because it would be too easy for those siding against our inclusions to say we are NOT the same team that built that resume. But now... with the good tourney performance... that lessens the impact of our downslide and makes that argument against us look weaker.
They may still punish us with Dayton.. depends on a lot of things, I'd imagine. Maybe they already know their Dayton teams. We will likely see one Big Ten team in Dayton given how many teams we will get in. I think that's why we got tagged for Dayton last year.
I hope they do the homework like that
Im holding off for a while because Im trying to figure out what im going to do with the big 10 mess at the 8/9. It would be seriously ****** up if Penn State wins the big 1o tourney and is seeded 10th. I am almost ready to say **** it and pull Illinois down to the 10 and keep Penn State 9
Huge story post game last night about houston starter going down and how’s it going to effect their overall seeding.
The committee isn’t considering non star injuries. They probably don’t even know who the 4th best player is on most of the teams.
What makes them clueless?
agree. his stuff about Mag was way overblown especially since they clearly showed in last 2 games it wasnt a factor...and guess what they won at Wisconisn who would be in the field if ru didnt beat them and won at Penn State. The only truly bad loss was Minnesota in that stretch. Losing to Michigan at home isnt a bad loss for petes sake
