Message: [QUOTE="pj, post: 4559863, member: 2524"] This worship of the Quadrant scores strikes me as idiocy. By quadrant score we are #13 nationally and on the 4 line, but if we had won one more game we'd be #7 nationally and on the 2 line. Our last three losses came by 3 points or less and one could easily have swung the other way. Moreover, the quadrant scores really reward teams for playing in a conference with a lot of top 50 teams. If you play all Q1 teams and go .500, your quadrant score is 1.50 and you would be ranked the #16 team in the country, ahead of Virginia, St Mary's, Tennessee, Duke, Kentucky, and many others, and get a 4 seed. Whereas if you play all Q4 teams and go undefeated, your quadrant score is 1.00 and you are ranked #42 and are on the bubble or an 11 seed. By the eye test, UConn is better than a 4 seed, and better than K State or Baylor. [/QUOTE]
