Shox[ sits back and lights a cigarette] themonkey.

Should have saved one; oh, what the heck...

[Maizerunner08]

Interesting Pre-game talk...anyways the Owls...should be a tough out.

[Stickboy46]

No, possession efficiency is all that matters.

I just want to know when they are going updated our stupid outdated arena.

I mean the scoreboard is clearly still showing points instead of efficiency metrics. So embarrassing.

I think they both matter.

I am also exhausted. Haha.

[Cdizzle]

LOL

Alright Kel Varnsen MikeKennedyRulZ I'm calling for a cease-fire in this thread so we don't torpedo it any more. We can carry on in the rankings thread.

[MikeKennedyRulZ]

Wins and losses matter, do they not? That's what I'm being told. They are the ultimate metric.

By his logic, the Shox should be no worse than 8th in the polls correct?

I'd probably use win% with his logic, so 7th. But 8th if following it directly.

[MikeKennedyRulZ]

Fine by me. I believe following your logic would actually improve WSU's ranking. Talk about your strawman logic-backfire.

[Kel Varnsen]

Yes, but what is their possession efficiency vs. the Shox. If our possession efficiency is better, we have to be ranked higher.

Right now, we are more efficient by about 3.5 points/100 possessions. So yes, we would have to be ranked higher even if we lost this game.

[ShockingButTrue]

According to kenPom we have to have at least 67 points and Temple has to have at most 64 points, or this one goes in the L column, if we even care to keep track of such things any more.

Wow. That kenpom really has the analysis thing down pretty good.

Our chances are really good if we score 67-64? Who'd thought of that?

But, what if Temple scores 67? What would we have to score then? Or could we? And is J. Burton only effective against inferior competition?

[Cdizzle]

If we lose, we have to be ranked lower than Liberty. They only have one loss.
