It may have been fine when we had nothing else, but because of the rise of pace-adjusted or per possession metrics, we have much better systems to measure the strength of teams and the strength of their record.

    I believe RPI is no longer used by the selection committee due to the NET system (which is another beast and something I’m not wild about). I guess it’s better than the RPI but it’s still a bastardization of what it’s supposed to measure (Is it efficiency? Is it record relative to your schedule?).

    No, but seriously, who gives a flyin' ****? We're all just happy the Chickens and their insufferable fans got a dose of humble pie at home. You missed my point? Oh, wait...

        Yep.

        Love to see the Chicken fans' get all self-righteously apoplectic; at their gym, on phognet, or right here on terra firma, where it's a little extra special...

            • KU has been due for a bend over. Can’t believe it happened at their ref-protected sanctuary though.

              Theyve been skating by with close wins all year. I think there’s a lot of fools gold in that gaudy record. Here’s to continuing the streak.
              Deuces Valley.
              ... No really, deuces.

                As someone more intelligent than myself (not exactly a high bar) pointed out, Higgy was in charge yesterday up north, so things were well in hand.

                Might have even been at the behest of 3G.

                      Yup. Not a lot of college basketball tonight, but it's always a good college basketball night when both Duke and KWho loses.

                          • As bad as IB is as a head coach, look at Louisville. They went from a National Championship 10 years ago to 2 and 17 so far this year. Losses to schools named Bellarmine? Their head coach is a guy named Kenny Payne. He's worse than IB and that's saying something. They never recovered from firing Pitino. I hope Saal can get it right once he pulls the plug on IB.

                            • And for all of everything, Duke ain't the same either. They're not O fer like the 'Ville, but they aren't the Dukies either.

                              Coaching matters.

                              • I've watched a little bit of MVC ball tonight, games at SIU and MSU. The SIU game is well-attended. Besides the student section, MSU's arena is virtually empty versus UIC. HutchCC games have more butts in seats. Dana Ford must not be very popular in Springfield.

                                As for the level of play. Meh. But SIU has pretty decent defense. I think our current Shocker team would be at least top 3.
