Regardless of what Lunardi and others predict, with our metrics if the tournament started today we’re likely a 3 seed even though half this board thinks we’re on the bubbleNET: 7th

Don't tell @Tenspro2002 that.Regardless of what Lunardi and others predict, with our metrics if the tournament started today we’re likely a 3 seed even though half this board thinks we’re on the bubble
Maybe even an outside shot of a 2. But I agree 3 is most likely the best scenario.If we just hadn’t collapsed against St Johns and Seton Hall we would be 20-4, ranked in the top 10, with a legit shot at the 1 seed in the East. 18-6 is still a very good record, it just seems extremely disappointing after the start we had.
If we only lose 2 more games the rest of the way, we control our own destiny for a 3 seed. Winning the BET would get us there.
They already beat Creighton. They have Marquette and PC at home coming up. And at Creighton again. So there are 3 more chances to do that.How about beating any of the other BE NCAA bound teams?
Are you familiar with Creighton?How about beating any of the other BE NCAA bound teams?
If you actually look at other resumes you’d have a hard time finding 10-12 teams that deserve to be ahead of usIf the NCAAT was tomorrow I don't think UConn gets a three seed, but UConn would be solidly in the tournament. NET will probably be a fantastic indicator of who gets in the tournament, but I don't think seeding will be based solely on NET, or any computer metric.
If the NCAAT was tomorrow UConn is probably a 4-5 seed IMO. UConn's OOC looks really good. I think UConn could actually get a NCAAT seed than BET seed depending how they play the last 7 games and in the BET.
WAB and SOR are the two most commonly used resume rankings. We're 19th and 16th respectively, which as he said puts us on the 4/5 line.If you actually look at other resumes you’d have a hard time finding 10-12 teams that deserve to be ahead of us

We’ll need to do some work to get to the 3 line but it’s possible. Every season is different but I quickly checked last year’s 3 seeds—they all had between 7 and 9 losses. All were ranked between 6 and 19 in the final AP poll. For some reason, historical NET rankings aren’t easy to find.Maybe even an outside shot of a 2. But I agree 3 is most likely the best scenario.
Yeah that St. John’s loss killed us but we didn’t deserve it. Can’t lose at home as a 15 point fave. The real killer was the seton hall game. We should of won that one. But yea, take those 2 games out and we are prolly top 10 still. Wasn’t impressed by yesterdays win at all. But a dub is a dub at least we showed we can win a close gameIf we just hadn’t collapsed against St Johns and Seton Hall we would be 20-4, ranked in the top 10, with a legit shot at the 1 seed in the East. 18-6 is still a very good record, it just seems extremely disappointing after the start we had.

The top 4 teams are Xavier, PC, Marquette and CreightonAre you familiar with Creighton?
Why dwell on losses??????The top 4 teams are Xavier, PC, Marquette and Creighton
UConn should have at least a 4-4 record in these 8 games
What are the chances???????
1-5 against those 3 teams would suck . And we are 0-2 vs X . It’s time to do better against league top. .500 should be realistic and not asking for too much ( 4-4 against top 4) problem is we’ve dug ourselves a big hole to even do that. It’s good two are home.They already beat Creighton. They have Marquette and PC at home coming up. And at Creighton again. So there are 3 more chances to do that.
Time for Hartford to show up. Tuesday is mas importante.The computers definitely love us and those wins over Alabama and Iowa State will be huge as long as we can take care of business. I saw on NET we moved from 8th to 7th after yesterdays win. Big week coming for our Huskies. I hope the XL Center is nice and LOUD Tuesday night. I will be there +3. !!!!!
You post a lot of good stats on here, but this is 100% false. The NCAA specifically came up with their NET Ratings 5 years ago as the primary metric for seeding. It’s not the only thing they use, but it is the first thing they look at to start placing teams in brackets. If you go to their website and read through their seeding process, the only actual metric they talk about is NET.WAB and SOR are the two most commonly used resume rankings. We're 19th and 16th respectively, which as he said puts us on the 4/5 line.
