I think not having Liam hurts us with the committee even though we have done so well even without him. He is a stunning player and would help us advance.

Out. We're not a member of the BIG TEN.

On another subject, wonder why Marquette is never mentioned as a #1 seed? Watched them play several times and they look pretty good to me.

Do Metrics Control, or, Does NET = Moneyball

Post by Mrcommodore »

It seems to me that Vandy in/out is a strict test of whether the committee really lets the NET control or not. There's no way that if you go from the gut and/or take a "holistic" view that you leave Vandy out. But if you hew to the numbers strictly it seems clear we are out. Hence I think Vandy is a bell weather for the entire system.

I just can’t imagine us not being in when we are tied for 4th in conference record and 8 Sec teams are getting in. Doesn’t make much sense but who knows

I absolutely cannot stand (I never use the word "hate" anymore) the big ten. Most over-rated and over-hyped conference in sports, full of obnoxious fair-weather fans.

Marquette is absolutely stout. They played a TOUGH schedule to boot. There is just not enough room for 6 #1 seeds. Personally, I think they are above Purdue and Houston right now.

Out

Too often see the resume that's good enough coming off a win suddenly not good enough coming off a loss.

I think we needed one more.

I ran a poll on Twitter asking this question.

As of this minute, it is nearly 50/50 with almost 750 votes cast.

Out. And we’ll be really disappointed with who gets in ahead of us.
