I scheduled a hernia surgery yesterday so I can sit at home for the next four days watching basketball and hopped up on opiates…

Big XII fans should be nervous. BYU was one of their teams that got a lot of undue credit, and they look like frauds so far.

They have to hope it's just a matchup thing, where BYU's finesse game ran into the buzzsaw of a hot and improving Duquesne team who play tough D.
We have plenty of BigEast bubble frauds who cant win an NIT home game. Cant throw shade.

@auror BYU had a NET of 12 and was the poster child for NET gaming. Are efficiency ratings good or bad now?

Duquesne wins! First NCAA Tournament win since 1969!

Fousseyni Drame reprises his role as a defensive specialist on a mid-major Cinderalla! Freshman Jakub Necas w/ a career high 12 points off the bench!

Good for predicting play (with outliers), bad for predicting the committee bubble choices. BYU did beat three decent/high major teams in non conference. Plus Duquesne is playing good ball right now. Won 9 in a row. Great coaching for them today. Extreme overplaying of three-point line. Obvious play against BYU, but most teams don't want to go that far away from their game plan.

With Duquesne finally making a tourney run, who's next in the A-10? Most teams in there at least have something in the recent past. Maybe it's Fordham's turn?

12 NET. 12. BYU had 2 OK OOC wins (SDSU and NC State) and only 5 wins over tournament bound Big 12 teams. 1 of those Big 12 wins was over Kansas without Dickinson and McCullar. This is a bubble team on its best day, and it got a 6 seed and lost to a dodgy 11 seed.

Props to BYU's stats department for reverse engineering and gaming the NET and KenPom as well as any program in the country. Respect.
