Who gets in, who looks the best, what team has the best resume?

 

[CardiacAndre7]

Team A

 

[Minicoop69]

only picking one of these?
If so, TEAM A.

If 2, then A and C most likely

 

[Fishy]

B has the best case and it's not particularly strong.

They're similar to A, but have the superior record which is as good a differentiator as anything.

A, C and D are in deep s--- with marginal records and marginal-to-bad RPI ratings.

 

[mcs333]

Blind resume is useless for determining who should go. We're the top 50/100 road or neutral wins or were they all at home. How many bad losses did each team have.
But playing the game I would take B. A has too many losses. 12 vs 8 for B.

 

[6xChamps]

we are team c, right?

 

[BoatShow]

Team C is clearly a lock for the Final 4 ;-)

 

[Bonesbrigade]

I would say Team B as well.

It doesn't look like very good for Team C though...hopefully I'm wrong...

 

[storrsroars]

So Team C has played 27 games, 23 of which have been against Top 100 RPI teams yet has a far worse SoS than Team A which played 10 sub-100 teams out of 28 total games? I don't know how that happens unless you play Houston 4x

I think it comes down to home-away records of A and B vs Top 100. If that's tied, then I go B.

Team C (aka us) has played 14 games against top 100 RPI teams

 

[dtrumpet]

They're all flawed but I'd go A. The 12 losses are forgivable with a SOS that good. Team C (sadly) and D have too many losses considering their SOS.

 

[SubbaBub]

None of those teams is close to an at large bid. But the best resume right now is Team B.

D'oh. I'm an idiot. I added 'em up thinking it was 1-50 and 51-100. Thanks for pointing out the mistake.

 

[CTBasketball]

Team A: Massachusetts
Team B: BYU
Team C: UConn
Team D: Alabama

I thought this was going to be about a dress. Only reason I clicked on it.

Who gets in, who looks the best, what team has the best resume?

It's hard to read when I try to blind my eyes. I failed the test.

 

[Kitaman]

Team B has already hit that 20 win number. That's one advantage.

 

[willie99]

all bubble teams have holes in their resume, otherwise they wouldn't be bubble teams

 

[UConnNick]

They all go to the NIT. They're better off playing in that than the Kentucky Invitational.

Who gets in, who looks the best, what team has the best resume?

Whichever team sells the most tickets to the regionals.

 

[businesslawyer]

If you're trying to make decisions between teams that are anywhere near comparable, you need far more information that what was provided. If the Committee only looked at what you provided us, they'd need about one hour to seed the field.

 

[storrsroars]

Not that it matters a ton, but looks like we're now at 69 RPI and 68 SOS.
