If OSU's loses to PSU - as bad as our loss to Houston?

[UCONNfan1]

Penn State would be 14-14 and 5-10 in the Big 10. Houston is 13-14 and 5-9 in the AAC. I'd be willing to bet that PSU's RPI is better than Houston's, but that's got to be considered really similar to our Houston debacle...

As I typed this, PSU was trying to give the game away. TO's, missed FT's, etc. Still, it's a fair question if OSU loses...

and they lost to PSU twice

Also, is Kentucky losing to Arkansas twice the same as our two losses to SMU, or worse? Arkansas is up 69-64 in OT with 36 seconds left.

Those last-four-in-type teams should probably be worried about Arkansas jumping them.

Actually, that's a season sweep for PSU over OSU.

Loss spoiled a perfect game for Aaron Craft, who did not miss a shot on his way to 10 flawless points. If only they gave him 30 shots instead of 3, he would have scored 100.

Although his 5 turnovers perhaps unperfected it anyway.

You can not forget about the intangibles damn it. How dare you

Houston is up 38-33 over Memph. early in second half in Houston.

 

[UConn17]

Arkansas is definitely worse than SMU. Besides, Kentucky has one legitimately good win this whole year

That is a fair point. I'm just reading off stats from a box score, but so much of what Craft does is immeasurable.

For example, at one point in the second half, one of the Buckeyes made the first of two foul shots. Without even needing to be told by the bench, he stepped forward to give his teammate a pat of encouragement. A little positive reinforcement to reward good behavior, if you will. But what the casual fan wouldn't notice is that Craft used the back of his hand on his teammate's hip for the pat in question. That prevented the ass cheek contact, or the accidental finger probe, that could cause his teammate to think, "yo, what's Craft up to?" and get his mind distracted before the second free throw.

Those are the things you just don't see in the box score.

PSU's RPI is 122 and Houston is 173

 

[CAHUSKY]

PSU's RPI is 122 and Houston is 173

But they lost to PSU twice so that's like losing to 244.
