Message: [QUOTE="Kemba Time, post: 5083927, member: 2962"] Every year when the XL/Gampel split is announced, one of the first things I do is run the schedule against preseason projections and it usually comes out close to even, alternating a small advantage to either venue in a given year. This is how it matches up this year (using Bart Torvik's preseason projections): [B]Gampel[/B] Sacred Heart -- 349 Texas A&M-Commerce -- 355 Baylor -- 14 Providence -- 49 Creighton -- 13 St. John’s -- 15 Marquette -- 25 Seton Hall -- 92 [B]XL [/B] New Hampshire -- 324 Le Moyne -- 315 Maryland ES -- 362 Xavier -- 37 Butler -- 76 DePaul -- 119 Villanova -- 43 Georgetown -- 106 The average Torvik rank of all games: 114 Gampel, 153 at XL. The average of the top 6 games (removing the 2 worst cupcakes at each) 35 Gampel, 116 XL The average of the 5 best games: 23 Gampel, 74.5 XL [/QUOTE]
