Duke beat Auburn, which isn’t even considered in KenPom. Your wins and losses aren’t considered. It’s all about efficiency, adjusted for opponent.

Right. I wonder if that opponent adjustment is enough this year. The SEC is an astounding 30-4 against the ACC. The leagues just aren’t remotely comparable.

I do wonder if they’ve been tested enough lately, but they have beaten Auburn, Arizona, Louisville, and Illinois. 2 teams we beat, and another we lost by 2.

No doubt Duke is very good but they definitely haven’t been tested much. They’ve played 3 games against current top 20 NET teams. They beat Auburn at home, beat AZ on the road and lost UK at a neutral site. Auburn is clearly the best team. After that I think it’s a jumbled mess for second best between Duke, Florida, Alabama, Houston and Tennessee.

Today’s games:
8:00pm: Michigan vs. Nebraska
9:00pm: Houston vs. Texas Tech


Michigan is on the 4 line so technically doesn’t qualify but not any other action tonight and doesn’t hurt to root against them just to continue to cement our floor seeding. Obviously the late game is a massive one, a TTU win further opens the door for us to potentially snag our first ever 1 seed.

If we win and Florida losses, think that puts us ahead of Florida at this point and time? Hoping Miss state can somehow upset Bama as well.

I think that should be the case. Florida losing a game outside of Bama would be big. They both play each other and we still get Bama. Really need Georgia to keep on keeping on

Unfortunately we probably lost a Q1 win with Miss state losing again last night. Doesn’t look up it’s updated but could easily see them dropping 3 spots. Baylor lost who is right behind them, but VCU won. BYU and Oregon didn’t play last night.

They finish up with 3 very winnable games, so maybe they stay right at that mark.

Seems binary at this point. If we win Saturday, we’re a one. Usually, I’d say that there are currently too many unknowns, but Florida’s loss last night combined with a 1-0 record against Bama would seem to be the clear separation that the committee could get behind. Obviously there are more games for us, Fl, Houston and Bama after Saturday. Any loss could undo this, but it’ll be hard for Bama or us to overcome a loss Saturday to get a one.

agree, winner Saturday has their odds greatly increase and the losers decrease.

Especially since they will have lost three of five since the Selection Committee reveal 11 days ago. No way they’re still sitting at #2 on the S-Curve. Saturday feels like an elimination game to me.
