WSU Versus Arizona Predictions and Pregame Discussions

And what?

Thanks. You're just the third team in the last five NCAA games that knows about them. Now I'm worried.

That's one thing we love about Miller. He makes sure the guys know who they're playing. They don't overlook anybody. I think this is a big part of why he does so well in the tourney. At Arizona and Xavier I believe he's only lost one game to a lower seed and that was to a 3 seed as a 2 (****ing Wisconsin).

I believe we only have one, Utah I believe. Those two stats make a better metric for teams in the same conference don't you think?

Wha...?

[azgreg]

Wha...?

Are you drunk already?

WSU has a larger margin of victory than Arizona which is a meaningless stat much like the margin of loss stat. The teams don't play the same schedule.

I completely agree with this. I just thought if he was going to show one, it would be better to show both.

Gotcha.

I'm off to the Dubliner ( a local bar) catch up with you guys later.

Have fun. Thanks for stopping by.

This will probably not answer your question, but it will give an indication.

Arizona margins of loss: 4, 3, 2, 1, 8, 3, 6, 6 Average loss: 4.13

Wichita State margins of loss: 10, 3, 4, 23, 4, 5, 3, 5 Average loss: 7.12 Average loss without Iowa: 4.87

AZ will be very tough. Not to be taken lightly.

Interesting.

I was thinking more in terms of RPI of opponents, but your info is enlightening too. @Jamar Howard 4 President: how difficult to compare the RPI of Zonas opponents to ours? If it's not super easy, don't bother.

No. Don't forget USC.

And I wasn't referring to margin of victory. I'm more concerned with points allowed. In this case, there is some common ground that can't really be called meaningless. But hey, I get your point.

Cheers.

Like your mom, it's super easy, but he still won't bother!

AAAAHHHHHH...just kidding, he will do it.
