St John's made a big jump beating Xavier. If they can creep up a few more spots those wins become Q1/Q2.Have 2 Quad 1 home opportunites left (Xavier & Nova).
Our Marquette & Hall home wins are no longer Quad 1 since they aren't top 30 anymore....sort of a bummer for cosmetic purposes, hope they get back to 30 at some point. Quad 2 wins are still high quality so not a major deal if they don't.
Thank God we escaped that dumpster.
Wow Surprised Houston is 0-3 on Quad 1. They just beat up on the bad teams in the AAC to get their NET ranking high. LOL! Memphis 4-2 in Quad 1 is impressive for them.
That's one of the downsides of being the lone good team in the AAC. Every team gets 2 Quad 1 games against you and you're lucky to get a few Q2 and maybe a Q1 game backWow Surprised Houston is 0-3 on Quad 1.

I know it won’t happen but I want to blow them out of the water on Saturday. Their schedule and wins are so underwhelming - we gave them life support with the loss at their place, they are not in a good spot outside of that win.crazy xavier is top 25 when theyre .500 in conference play (about to be under .500)
I doubt Memphis is going anywhere, unless they and temple try to go Indy in football and join the A-10 or somethingconsider also that 3 of the top 6 teams there are leaving the conference, with Memphis likely to make it 4 of 6 before too long
St. John's up by a big margin right now over Butler (spread 8, up by 24 with ~10 minutes left). They were at #78 and have a favorable schedule coming up. Our win @them has a pretty good shot of being Q1 by next week (top 75 needed).St John's made a big jump beating Xavier. If they can creep up a few more spots those wins become Q1/Q2.
They're going to end up being top 70 NET, going 14-1 against bottom 2 quadrants while losing basically every game to the top of the league (they were swept by us, Nova, and Providence). That's the real MVP type of team for a conference's NCAA seedings.Damn shame they can't replay those Indiana and Pitt games.
Truly nothing but C-USA suits them lolI doubt Memphis is going anywhere, unless they and temple try to go Indy in football and join the A-10 or something
Pretty ridiculous how big the Q1 Q2 spread is home and road. I think it vastly overstates home court advantage. If road is 75 home should be more like 50. It’s overvaluing road wins against decent teams and undervaluing home wins against very good teams.Have 2 Quad 1 home opportunites left (Xavier & Nova) & Creighton on road will be Quad 1 if stay top 75.

It's empirically derived as far as I know (they rounded to a neater number, but yeah). Have to think about how home court advantage counts double when going from home to road (subtract if from team A, then add it to team B.). It's worth 6-8 points to switch locations.Pretty ridiculous how big the Q1 Q2 spread is home and road. I think it vastly overstates home court advantage. If road is 75 home should be more like 50.

Um, every game is on tvVCU is a very good team and that is a good win. They added a stud in Ace Baldwin. Just crunched a good Richmond team on tv.
