The Rule of 1

[Jamar Howard 4 President]

It is our worst resume since 2011, where we missed the tournament as the #25 in KenPom; the next highest missing team was #44.

Wrong. WSU was #56 when they were left out in 2011. They rose to #25 after winning the NIT.

KP is a measure of resume. Quality wins aren't the be-all-end-all. 18 vs 56. Big difference. Shox are still currently in.

[Jamar Howard 4 President]

2011 WSU lost to a 200+, 5-13 in the MVC SIU squad, at home, in February. 2016 WSU doesn't have any losses near that bad.

[ShockerFever]

I said our resume. Not our KenPom. Our resume. Even if we make the tournament we will have the fewest good wins of ANY at-large team and we'll still have 2-3 bad losses. It is our worst resume since 2011, where we missed the tournament as the #25 in KenPom; the next highest missing team was #44. We were 3-6 in real games that year with some bad losses. We are 3-6 in real games this year with some bad losses. We finished with an RPI around 40-50 in 2011. We currently have an RPI of 50, and we'll need to almost win out to bring it down to 35-40.

We were a #4 seed in the NIT with basically this exact same resume. You'd have to be crazy to call it anything but terrible.

You're hilarious.

You're hilarious.

Do you know what would be really hilarious? You trying to argue against a point. You can't do it, so you repeat the same lines and hope someone else does it for you. Here, I'll give you the tools. Tell me how where you would put these two teams:

A:

RPI: 52
SOS: 96
OOC SOS: 55
KenPom O/D: 58/72
Scoring Margin: 11
Important Wins: 81, 84, 84, 112, 123, 123, 141
Important Losses: 3, 6, 43, 43, 49, 84, 112, 207

B:

RPI: 43
SOS: 111
OOC SOS: 21
KenPom (O/D): 82/5
Scoring Margin: 12.70
Important Wins: 15, 92, 92, 117, 122, 122, 126, 137
Important Losses: 7, 26, 38, 48, 51, 105, 126

Where would you put team A? 11-seed? 9? Where would you put team B?

Fever must be watching the Creighton game. He literally knows nothing about basketball. His bullying act has gotten stale and most are tired of it.

I'd put Team A on your mom's face and Team B safely into the tournament as a 7 seed.

Next?

I think it is not smart to compare past years teams resumes to this years team. Resumes are compared to teams this season. It is all relative. 10 teams in the top 25 lost today. Several at home to unranked teams. The bubble will be weak. After Orlando many on here were talkong about how we must win it all in St. Louis to get in. We were #26 on lunardis s curve before this game today. Just move on and win out to finish the reguar season. We will be fine. I am not worried.

Shhh. WSU IS NOT ALLOWED TO LOSE. EVER.

Fun Fact! That is an original insult, at least according to Shockernet's search. Your numbers for common other insults:

Retard – 2
Idiot – 17
Asshole – 2
Turd – 5
Fool – 9
Stupid – 42
Unintelligent – 2
Ignorant – 10
Foolish – 6
Slow – 38
Idiotic – 3
Embarrassing – 6
Hilarious – 10
**** – 14
Piss – 18

I'm impressed you've only used retard twice! On the other hand, this seems to mostly be a function of generally choosing the simplest terms rather than deliberately choosing a less vulgar word. Not all of these refer to insults of course ... but not all your insults use these terms. Some suggestions for next time: dunce, dolt, oaf, futilitarian, naysayer, prophet of doom, cynic, defeatist, cretin, dipstick.

Stupid and slow are revealed to be the top two insults. My first wife used those two together, affectionately I might add, when describing my finer characteristics. Oh, how I miss her.

Well it would appear 2 teams that would be on the outside looking in will benefit from SMU and UL, which has a domino effect throughout the bubble universe.

Most years there's talk of weak bubble but this could top all previous seasons with no frontrunners, half of the ranked teams getting beat in a single day...just a ton of strange things going on.

How did I get wrangled into posting guidelines. I'm confused, or is this against guidelines calling myself names.
