Bubble Watch - March 11

[CaptainJ]

Not sure how many hours maybe $50 bet has been up in another thread, but still no takers from those "certain" we aren't in.

One key difference is they have won 10 of their last 12 while we have lost 5 of our last 6??

Oh Lord

 

[OrangeXtreme]

confortably in

So, other than this being SHU's 1st trip to the BE Finals since 1993, the game is meaningless.

The NCAA does not use RPI. They stated that last year.

What do they use? KenPom, etc?

 

[CaptainJ]

I thought you said we need them to lose tomorrow, in the semis

My bad, I did say tomorrow. I thought the finals were tomorrow. Is there any way different conference tournaments are scheduled vs their "weight" or anything? I haven't followed the NCAA as much as I used to.

Turn over to the Oklahoma game... this is really close buzzer beater.

The NCAA also doesn't use last 10 anymore.

BUDDY HIELD!!

ESPN won't show a replay where they freeze the camera when the light goes red......morons.

Also, that kid for OU got fouled sooooooooooo badly on that missed lay-up. He was undercut badly, and that defender was definitely still moving.

Basket was deemed no good at the buzzer.

He got devendorfed.

 

[jdubs30]

He got devendorfed.

We won tho

 

[rrlbees]

What do they use? KenPom, etc?

They use a few models, kenpom, sagarin maybe Massey? Also bpi, sos and record vs top 50, top 100, bad losses (100+), record vs other tourney teams, etc.

 

[orangenirvana]

Correct.

 

[pearl31]

yeah I think our rpi moved back into the 60s - I could be wrong tho

Devo?

 

[CaptainJ]

Did Buddy jump onto the scorer's table?

I was wondering how it would change with the movement of other teams, and would love that to be the case!

The Bonnies are in trouble. The committee has demonstrated over the last however many years that they will ignore a team's RPI if it is an outlier when compared to the other ratings. See Colorado State last season, which had an RPI of 29 and didn't make it.

That's hgue for us. Like orangenirvana posted, our RPI seems to be really misleading compared to where we rank according to other metrics.

We are 2 miracle buzzer beaters (Michigan and UConn) to being in a great spot. Go Huskies and Aggies tomorrow.

I have a hard time seeing Bonnies in
