What do you mean by “quality metrics”? Are you talking about winning big vs just winning (aka “style points”)? If that’s so then Providence doesn’t have it. They lost big to UVA and huge to Marquette and their best wins have been close games. Is that what you mean?

On the team sheets are a team’s NET ranking, resume metrics (KPI and SOR), and quality metrics (BPI, KenPom, Sagarin). Resume metrics measure the difficulty of a team reaching its current record. The quality metrics tend to focus on team efficiency.

Seems like I’ve usually heard what you all are calling quality metrics called predictive metrics. Is that accurate?

Would Ohio State losing today drop them off the 6 seed line down to 7? Don't really want to play them in the NCAA tourney

If they don’t, they’ll be close. As of yesterday, they were second on the 6 seed line with Iowa and LSU behind them according to BracketMatrix. I’m sure both of them will jump OSU but I’m not sure if any of the 7 seeds will jump to a 6 seed with most of them losing. The teams that may be able to jump them for that last 6 seed spot are Colorado State and Murray State. Not sure if it’ll happen or not this week tho.

I think so. The irony though is that they'll likely have a matchup w Purdue in the Big 10 tourney, which we'll be pulling for OSU in.

Where is Houston projected? Im watching them against Memphis and im not impressed at all.

I believe they lost one of their key players for the year and have been in a spiral for the last month. I believe I read where they only have one Quad 1 win all season (Oregon) but I could be wrong on that. Right now they are severely overrated.

I guess if we get the 2 seed then Ohio State getting the 6 seed won’t matter as much anymore? Lol

With Wisconsin losing, think we can jump all the way up to the last 2 seed?

No not yet. I would say it will be Villanova that jumps up. IMO that’s who it should be, definitely not Purdue. I think we should be around the first 3 seed. Most of it depends on how far Duke drops.

True since they beat Providence this week

Nova will probably be the next team in that 2 spot, but the SEC is better and w UK and Auburn that gives the Vols a better opportunity to make a move

I think that’s the obvious fork. Win two in the SEC, and we have a strong case for a two. The 3 seems solid, but losing our first game would give them wiggle room.

Except for a loss to USC or Miss St , I feel like it would be a pretty big slight if we end up as a 4 seed, and even then it feels low

Please tell me they aren't still going to have Texas tech and Wisconsin still ahead of us.

We should be really close to that seed spot

Before Saturday, I thought both teams had every right of being ahead of us. But now, there’s no possible way you can keep us behind them. At the worst, we should be the 10 overall seed. I think we’re more deserving of the 9th spot tho ahead of Purdue, Texas Tech, and Wisconsin.

If we make it to Sunday, I think we have to be a two seed.
