Big East Conference Game Thread- February

KenPom says otherwise…44 and dropping. Usually top 40 teams in KenPom are a “lock” after that it gets dicey. Their record is super inflated to say the least.

And a 4 seed in the committee’s initial bracket

They're still top 10 in WAB, SOR, and KPI (the latter 2 are on the committee team sheets).

Stop. Providence is clearly making the NCAAT

I think his point is their metrics are already sketchy. If they lose out(which they won’t) they would have the metrics of a bubble team, but the record of a lock. It’s not that insane of a point

Bubble? wth! They can lose every game from here till the tourney and they will not be a bubble team. you guys are crazy

Not so much. Here’s some context for you: UCLA was in the play in game last year (one of the last at large teams in). What was their KenPom going into the tournament? 44. Exactly the position that PC is in right now. It’s crazy for a team with so few losses, but if they don’t snap back they really could slide to the bubble. Their resume overall is much weaker than ours

But that’s point they would have to lose out-that’s highly unlikely. But right now vs Butler they look like straight trash
 
Butler beating Providence by 13 with 12 to go!

Providence: 30.8 fg% (16.7% when you take out Watson)
Butler: 51.4 fg%

I blame Horchler's haircut.

Their resume is both stronger and weaker than ours in different ways. The committee putting them in as a 4 yesterday shows that the committee is de-valuing Providence's predictive metrics in favor of their body of work and resume metrics (but not ignoring them completely.. they'd be a 2-3 seed if only considering strength of record. Commitee knocked them down a seed or two for KenPom et al). Providence is 11-3 against the top 2 quadrants. UCLA last year was 5-8 against top 2 quads entering the tournament. Providence would have to lose like 5 in a row to hit the bubble.
 
Minaya may be good at defense, but apparently he can't make a FT. Misses all 3. Wow.
 
Providence just ran that ATO that made the rounds the last few weeks on Twitter lol. Worked, hit a 3.

We say it all the time. But who in hell would be watching this game if it were two AAC teams? God bless the Big East Conference!

Every game is exciting

I don't think any sane person made the argument that the AAC was better for basketball for UConn than the Big East 2.0.
