I mean, we've gotten notoriety from numerous media outlets, podcasts, and prognosticators. The big thing holding us back from a more "Cinderella" vibe is the fact that our predictive numbers... -
Unfortunately, Murray State has taken a significant step back since Ja Morant left (130s-140s each year since). Having a lottery pick on your team, especially in the OVC, makes you look like a much better...Leave a comment:

To Medved's credit, he's made the program significantly better everywhere he's been. Furman was 342 in KenPom the year he arrived, and 106 three years later. Colorado State was 180 in KenPom in 2019,...Leave a comment:

If a couple high seeds get replaced, this March Madness could be bonkers....Leave a comment:

Bingo. Who cares if we speculate? We're not playing the game....Leave a comment:

Yeah, nothing beyond that. Doubt there will be suspensions for either team....Leave a comment:

Don't believe so. We played UNLV at home in 11-12 and blasted them, but I can't recall why as there was no return game. It wasn't BracketBusters and it wasn't a part of an MTE, at least I don't think...Leave a comment:

Took a second for me to figure out what you did there. Well done....Leave a comment:

If we really want to get in to the tournament, we need to have the conference tournament cancelled.
Now, that's not a good thing for the conference for a number of reasons, but the revenue...Leave a comment:

This is the most likely explanation. I think it's best to go this route.
But the game at Temple still makes me nervous. We lose that and we're done for....Leave a comment:

Will be the first time I’ve listened to them in a while but hopefully they can avoid the political crap....Leave a comment:

This. When you win a lot of close games, this tends to happen unless you're playing highly-rated teams on the road every night....Leave a comment:

FWIW, the Wins Above Bubble metric by Bart Torvik has us as an 8 seed.
Big difference between descriptive (WAB) and predictive metrics (KenPom). Descriptive metrics should matter more in...Leave a comment:

A little surprised, but we all know there is at least some TV money on the line for the conference (which benefits everyone).
The downside for Houston is some sort of contact tracing mess...Leave a comment:

If one thing's for sure, it's that we can all agree the NET sucks.Leave a comment:

You didn't do your research. How many early season tournaments with good teams did we get in and win (or at least pick up really good victories)? Two in the last ten years (Mexico in 12-13 and CBE in...Leave a comment:

We have a way to adjust for schedule difficulty that doesn't just say, "your schedule means you can't lose a game," which I've outlined in previous posts. If we have a way to do that, shouldn't...Leave a comment:

These are the only metrics we have for this season. We don’t have anything else that isn’t completely arbitrary. And what is your standard in terms of what we are seeking to measure in the selection...Leave a comment:

If that's your standard, we don't know how good anyone is. You can't pick and choose results that matter. Either they matter or they don't.
We have myriad ways of gauging how good these teams...Leave a comment:
