Official what games to pay attention to thread...

[bleedingTNorange]

i really think we're going to have to hit that 20 game mark

You do realize that's mean we won the sec championship right?

losses vs 100+

South Florida: 3
Northwestern: 0
Tennessee: 4
Miss State: 3
Seton Hall: 3
Miami: 1
Oregon: 1
Drexel: 3

Not that it really matters, but are you counting UGA as one of those losses for UT? UGA just moved up to a RPI of 98.

I’m not joking, you have to pick four. Which four?

(obviously, UT, UO, and Miami can still add or subtract something on their profile. but as of now)

FWIW, I pick Drexel, Seton Hall, Northwestern, and Tennessee

Just looking at the numbers doesn't help. You have to know who those top 100 wins are against. Beating 1 or 2 top 100 teams that are just RPI monsters with no substance don't really carry much weight. ( or at least they're not suppossed to)

Yeah, but also counting them twice for Mississippi State. If their RPI stays under 100 after losing to Vandy tomorrow, we can amend the thought experiment.

 

[BasketVolKid]

miss st losing helps yes?

Same could be said for losing to said RPI monsters

Georgia beating Vandy tomorrow would make things very interesting for UT.

 

[bleedingTNorange]

miss st losing helps yes?

Absolutely.

no we beat Ole Miss and Vandy and we have 20 wins...

no we beat ole miss and vandy and we have 20 wins...

17 + 2 = ?

True enough. Three of those teams have wins over projected top three seeds. Seton Hall beat Georgetown, Northwestern beat Michigan State, Miami beat Duke.

The other five failed to beat a top 20 team. Drexel's best win is VCU. Oregon's is Washington (RPI 50+). Tennessee's is Florida (twice). USF's is Louisville. MSU's is Vandy.

 

[volball625]

NCAA needs to stop increasing field. There is going to be some ****ty, ****ty at large teams in the tourney this year.

 

[bleedingTNorange]

no we beat Ole Miss and Vandy and we have 20 wins...

We have 17 wins...add 2 that makes 19.

I'm assuming you're counting chaminade? That game doesn't count it was vs a d2 opponent.

 

[bigsteve13]

we have 18 wins according to ESPN

 

[Blake25p]

Losing to AP and Oakland isn't a good look.

is that for real?

 

[bleedingTNorange]

Once again chaminade doesn't count, they are d2

 

[bleedingTNorange]

is that for real?

Yes. Go look at or RPI we are 17-13.

The NCAA doesn't count games vs d2 schools

 

[bigsteve13]

well i guess i learned something tonight then

 

[bleedingTNorange]

well i guess i learned something tonight then

Yea, kinda sucks it doesn't count.

I'm sorry, I think I miscounted. You have to invite FIVE of those teams.

That's counting Xavier and Texas as in, btw.

Then you have to consider if they were at home or on the road. I think Miami beat Duke at Cameron. That will carry a lot of weight. I think when it gets down to the very last few teams it stops being about who you lost to and instead becomes about "can you beat a tourney team.". All of the last 4 at large teams are going to have glaring weaknesses on their resume, so you have to ask yourself if your putting a team in the field that can actually win a game.

 

[utvolz98]

Yea, kinda sucks it doesn't count.

Why did we schedule that game again?

 

[Volman09]

Colorado-Oregon neck and neck at the moment

 

[Volman09]

Why did we schedule that game again?

We didn't
