First team to 60 wins.

O/U is 126.5. Hammer the under! First to 50 wins!

A close game, win or lose, is bad because it means we are still treading water from a bad place with no progress.

A close win would mean we beat a team ranked well above us in every available metric, so how the hell does that indicate "treading water"? Has common sense completely left town?

Have to hold serve on 50/50 games at home........doesn't matter to me if it's close or a rout....but a rout would be more fun....

The fire ollie train has derailed from any semblance of common sense.

You have a funny definition of "well above". As for what the best power rating predicted, it was a 1 point win for UCF. ONE. I know math isn't your strong suit but that isn't much. It is one possession. A 1 point dog can win a close game on a bad call or lucky shot. So, yeah, a close win would have been more of the same or about what was predicted based on a rating that was based on our season thus far. Are you following? Your "common sense" does not align with mathematic truth.

Now, as for what actually happened, they won by a solid margin and that is a positive. A step in the right direction. Now they need to keep doing that. We have seen one good step followed by a step back over and over again. We need the team to keep playing at that level on a consistent basis. THEN you will get some people with renewed faith in Ollie.

As of yesterday they were about 75 slots ahead of us on Ken Pom's rankings, so not that funny, no. "Are you following?"

In Sagarin, they were about 50 slots ahead which was worth a whopping 4ish points. We were the home team. That is worth more that 3 points. 4-3=1. I don't know what Pomeroy was predicting but his system is not as accurate. Believe what you want. This isn't a court room. This is math, modeling and optimization algorithms. You are out of your element. I am not.

This made me laugh out loud.

Speaking of which, what’s the farthest you’ve had to go to crap since you’ve been without running water?
