Lunardi just bumped us out

[Hi-Low]

Pretty sure St. Joe's is a lock and deservedly so.

Yes, they may be in but St. Joe's much like Wichita St. has a very very undeserving resume....UConn's not monumentally better than either but if they are in right now then UConn should be in right now....I think J Loooonardi is wrong on Witchita, at best a play-in team.

 

[Hi-Low]

Joe d and gresh just both said they think Texas is in trouble of making the tournament with their loss today. And that uconn win does not look that great anymore

Eat me

That just proves that they know nothing. Texas is a solid gold lock.

Lol wut?

Lol wut?

I don't agree with at all just stating what I heard. At first I thought they were talking about Texas tech but they then said uconn win over them doesn't look that great anymore

Yeah, they're wrong. Baylor is a good team.

Texas has wins v. UNC, Oklahoma, swept WVU, Iowa State, and Vandy.
4-3 vs. RPI Top 10
5-5 vs. RPI Top 25
8-7 vs. RPI Top 50
13-10 vs. RPI Top 100

They have one bad loss (TCU).

RPI: 24...but unlike those other RPI teams who don't measure up in other metrics...

KenPom: 32
Sagarin: 29
BPI: 35
KPI: 16
LRMC: 32

Their RPI is slightly higher, but not a ton. Average: 28.

They'll probably get a 6-seed now, but they have close to a 4 seed resume when you look at wins. If that team is any lower than a 6, I'd be pissed if I were the higher seed in their pod, because you just got screwed.

Like Joe D and Gresh but this case there may be an overstatement

Maybe they were the confusing the two.

That would be a reason to stop listening.

Gresh is a complete moron. Playing FCS football does not make you an expert in basketball. You actually have to watch the games and follow basketball. He should be removed from the air for being ignorant.

Lunardi is lower on us then the people who actually rank at the top of this kinda thing

Update: As of this morning both 131 sports and Assembly Call have us in, and not as the last 4 in. We are an 11 seed in 131, and a 10 seed in Assembly Call.

Very well could be

Let us hope these guys are right

 

[JimHurley]

Texas has beaten UNC, Iowa State, West Virginia twice, Baylor, and Oklahoma. That's 6 top 25 wins. No way they miss the tournament. For us, it's simple. Make it to the AAC final or NIT.

No one said they would miss the tournament. According to you no 10 loss AAC can make the tournament so I thought we were already out??

Eh based on what I've seen, a win vs Cincy today would get us into the tournament

 

[scdono]

As of today, the bracketmatrix.com has us with a 78% chance of making the tournament or 78% of people (86 out 110) believe we will make the tournament. I like that. That's much better than last out by Lunardi.

 

[Jerry1714]

USC is a team ESPN has a lock that I do not get:
21-12, BPI 43, Kenpom 49, RPI 45, 1 Top 25 wins, 5 Top 50, 44 Sargain

But Team A per Lunardi is out right now
21-10, BPI 30, Kenpom 29, RPI 55, 1 Top 25 wins, 2 Top 50, 34 Sargain

Disagree with the first part, agree with the second part. If we beat Cincy and lose to Temple, I'd be willing to bet we are out. But I agree that if we eat Cincy we will win the next two.

This bubble thing is so exciting! This board hasn't been so alive since the last time we lost!
