College Hoops Around The Country [TN opponents, RPI, others]

Memphis is up by 1 on Tulsa. Tulsa is currently a Q1 win road win for Wichita St. And a Q2 home win for WSU and Cincinnati. If they lose, they go to just being a road Q2 win for WSU. And a Q3 home win.

 

[BruinVol]

That is exactly how that works. What if they had went 10-20 without him this season?

Sure we won't ever know that but we do know they returned nearly all of a team that went 19-15 and 10-8 last year.


Shouldn't it be fair to expect a jump from that by adding an impact player like Sexton?

 

[BurninOrange]

Anyone got the video from Pearl and the S&C coach for Bama getting into it?

 

[ckilla27]

I will give you that.

Sexton went 6-10 in the sec this year

Bama was 10-8 last year without him.

Bama also got 6 SEC wins against the bottom 3 teams last year

A jump like going from the NIT to the NCAA tournament?

Saw someone do an interview with a committee member, he said people are putting waaay too much stock into quadrants. Basically saying that a RPI 74 win isn’t going to be looked at differently than a RPI 76 win.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Need Indy in here stat to get ready to hand Bruin an L.

 

[bleedingTNorange]

Not a hot take

Truth

Well that is if we win

Game tonight just became a huge opportunity

What was their offensive and defensive rating in games Sexton played when he was on the court versus when he was off. Give me something like that and then we can discuss your theory.

 

[zjcvols]

a jump like going from the nit to the ncaa tournament?

lol

 

[BruinVol]

Bama also got half of there SEC wins against the bottom 3 SEC teams last year

Same this year. 3 of his 6 were against the bottom feeders.

Auburn their best win was without him

 

[BruinVol]

Yea you think the 16-14 he posted gets them in?

If he wins the next two he gets credit for the NCAA birth.

He's doing a pretty good job giving himself an L with the help of VFGL.

You have a link? Because that is completely non-nonsensical. Their sheets are specifically segmented that way, and the chairman of the committee referred to it numerous times during their initial reveal, and those rankings aligned fairly closely to q1 record.

 

[BruinVol]

He's doing a pretty good job giving himself an L.

If I get one I will need 13 more to catch Sexton on the year

 

[VolsSportsFan]

If I get one I will need 13 more to catch Sexton on the year

You're going to get a second one for that lame attempt.

 

[volfanCLT]

If I get one I will need 13 more to catch Sexton on the year

Well you definitely still have 19 more wins to go

 

[BruinVol]

You're going to get a second one for that lame attempt.

Lol.


Sexton will be a great NBA player. He's a selfish player that sucked the life out of a roster that should have been well rounded one with weapons everywhere. Bama would have won more games without him and I feel confident in that opinion which is based on the facts of the 34 games played last year with the same players returning and the 30 games played with sexton

 

[BruinVol]

Well you definitely still have 19 more wins to go

16 but who is counting


Well really 15 because your comparison to GS gave one a big W lol

 

[zjcvols]

So blame the 18 year old and not the 20 year veteran coach. Interesting theory

No I blame Johnson more so that is for sure.

It's a coaches job to limit the selfishness

I am in line with this thinking and believe the 16 seeds announced before show it as well.

Would love to see the interview

 

[volfanCLT]

34 games last year - 3 seed in the NIT

30 games this year - 8/9 seed in the NCAA tournament

Wish they could have just added someone that could have made a difference

 

[ckilla27]

Same this year. 3 of his 6 were against the bottom feeders.

Auburn their best win was without him

Your wrong. Only 1 win against 11th placed SC. The other ones were against 10 and above

You keep ignoring the obvious

Would 16-14 have been good enough for that 8/9 seed?

Heck no it woudnt of. If he wins the next two I will ear Crow. Heck I hope he wins the next one for sure
