The Bubble

[Queequeg]

The math is getting pretty complicated… NCAA v NIT

Lunardi has UConn one team removed from "Next 4 Out"

They just said with a win tonight we'll move in to next four out

Just to update, given Richmond appearing here.

Richmond
Record: 18-12
RPI: 55
KenPom: 55
SOS: 33
NC SOS: 33
v. RPI Top 25: 2-1
v. RPI Top 50: 3-5
v. RPI Top 100: 6-8
v. RPI sub-150: 7-1
R/N: 5-9

This is a resume wholly buoyed by a sweep of VCU. They also have 4 sub-100 losses.

Their SOS numbers are ridiculous given who they've played. It's ridiculous. They got really lucky that non of their OOC ended up being sub-300...and they got lucky that a team like High Point is somehow RPI Top 100 and that their loss to Northeastern is also, at the moment, Top 100.

This is not a team with an RPI that is NCAA worthy. If UConn's one sub-100 loss (to be fair, RPI 250), then Richmond's 5 sub-99 losses should disqualify them outright.

I'll try to remember to add March 7th's Richmond game against St. Louis and Northeastern's March 7th game against Delaware to the Bubble list. Richmond being even pretend on the bubble is indicative of the absurdity of this year's bubble.

Whelp. We can lock this thread, because we're off it.

What a terrible. Terrible. Terrible loss.

It was a good week long run.

That's the bright side. I was starting to worry about you guys.

My life will almost certainly improve...

No one who has wagered less than $500 on the game should sweat Richmond and St. Louis.

And I've scheduled business trips to St Louis around the MVC tourney....
