3/12 Metrics

[bendm]

Some of these teams know how to bamboozle the computers - StM is one of them. I'm with you 100% on them.

And Gonzaga continues to bamboozle by beating them

Rooting for Colorado to keep winning to make our loss to them less bad!

Hey now, they won!
Even if they get clobbered by Houston tomorrow, that should bump their metrics up....which in turn will help ours too.

If those are the teams bucking for the 7 seed, there are 4 teams better than us, unfortunately

I don’t see that. Not on a neutral court. We haven’t lost a game in March in 2 years. Seed us wherever.

Colorado just beat WVU. Doubly good for us.

WVU very bubblelicious now.

 

[UCFan1513]

Colorado over WVU and Texas smoking Vandy both great for the resume. Seton Hall is the one you wish you could have back. Regardless, 6/7 seed is in UConn’s control to seize

WVU very bubblelicious now.

Double bubbleicious

 

[ctbro1999]

Lol holy crap Colorado lost 13 in a row at one point this season.

This was the Big EAst in 2011. It did so well OOC early in the season that a team that finished NINTH in the regular season could win the tourney and end up as a 4 seed in the NCAAs. But that was us, so no one complained.

The only way to rate conferences is based on OOC play. Because it was months before the NCAAs it's not nearly as good a predictive tool as if teams had their OOC games spread out throughout the year, but it's still all computers have to go on.

Any SEC team playing today winning the conference tournament would likely be more impressive than the UConn's 2011 BET run.

New BM out and we moved one spot back to the 3rd 8 seed, just behind the zags.

 

[willie99]

I’ll be honest. I don’t get the St. Mary’s hype. Consistently projected a 5 seed. Best win is Gonzaga twice and Nebraska? Good team but 5 seed good? I’ll take the 12/5 underdog.

And they're not alone. We're better than and would be favored over at least half the teams rated above us

 

[Matt1010]

And they're not alone. We're better than and would be favored over at least half the teams rated above us

Based on what? We're Kenpom #34 and haven't beaten a single team that's projecting better than a 7 seed. We wouldn't be favored over more than 2-3 teams that are currently ahead of us.
