Message: [QUOTE="BFieldHusky, post: 5204607, member: 2154"] I'll update this weekly, and then daily once we get closer to Selection Sunday, which is 20 days away! 18-9. 10-6 in the BE. Home: 11-2/ Away: 6-4/ Neutral: 1-3 Our metrics as of this morning: NET: 37 KenPom: 38 ESPN BPI: 21 Quad 1: 5-5 Quad 2: 4-3 Quad 3: 4-1 Quad 4: 5-0 Notable Wins (NET rankings) Baylor (H) 30 Texas (A) 38 Gonzaga (N) 10 Marquette (A) 27 Creighton (A) 35 Notable Losses: Colorado (N) 94 Dayton (N) 76 Seton Hall (A) 213 Bracketology: Jerry Palm: 9 (2/24) Joe Lunardi: 8 (2/21) Mike Decourcy 8 (2/21) Commentary: UConn is clearly on the 8/9 line as they head into the final four games of the regular season. The positives are the 5 Quad 1 wins, with 4 of those of those wins coming away from home. The negatives are the last two losses in Maui, and the loss to Seton Hall. This team is in the tournament now, and has a little wiggle room. What's interesting is the last 4 games of the season don't have a ton to gain in terms of moving the needle. A home win against Marquette helps, but not a ton. But losing to Providence, Georgetown, or Seton Hall would hurt our resume. For now, we need to focus on trying to win our last 4 games, 3 of which are at home. This would get us the 3 seed in the Big East tournament, which I think is our better option. We would most likely play a desperate Villanova team in the quaterfinals, but with an additional day of rest. A win there most likely sets up an essential home game against Creighton in the semifinals. I think if UConn can get to the BE finals, and win their last 4 regular season games, they can get to the 6-7 line. Which is a HUGE difference in the quality of opponent they could face in the early rounds. [/QUOTE]
