Week of 3/4/24 Other Games

[auror]

It's not fine. Anyone analyzing teams by records vs Quads is basing their entire analysis on a tool, the NET, that is totally flawed and essentially useless.

The NET is much less flawed than you and all the random ACC stans make it out to be. The Techs, Oklahomas, and TCUs of the world have fallen back down to where you'd expect them to be (around 40).

It's not perfect, but it's serviceable. The committee is certainly able and does disagree with it.

Quads are only one piece of a resume. They're also flawed. The actual resume metrics are the most predictive thing for selection anyways, so people (probably including me when I make my posts) over-index on the quads for selection importance.

Kentucky scares me more than anyone.

Dunno I don’t see it but they are playing better . No structure to their game

Oh and yes Sheppard is very good

Xavier is giving Marquette a run (no Kolek)

Up 46-41 with 17:30 to go

 

[aceboon]

UK not handling the press well late here

 

[Doctor Hoop]

Dickinson went out. Separated shoulder?

Looked like a subluxation, though (less likely) maybe just a muscle strain.

I really want Marquette to win and secure the 4 seed. I’d much rather have Seton Hall as the 4 and only have to face one of Creighton or Marquette.

Tough to win in the conferenice on the road. Let’s not find out tonight.

Marquette ruining our perfect BET bracket

The way Marquette is playing it is going to be another UConn vs. St. John's contest at MSG in the semis.

 

[3rdbass]

At some point, strength of schedule has to be taken into consideration. I get they lost some games they should have won, but they are playing well now. Also, they have a W against UNC.

Yeah but they lost to 4 crappy teams in their city.

 

[Tenspro2002]

Marquette losing at Xavier would instead give Creighton the rose-petal-strewn path to Saturday night at MSG.

 

[UConnSwag11]

Marquette losing at Xavier would instead give Creighton the rose-petal-strewn path to Saturday night at MSG.

Yup.

 

[aceboon]

That 4th foul on Ighodaro was terrible

 

[JungleLobo]

Nothing like dirtying up a clean sheet in last game of the season, Florida. Not to be outdone in the state, South Florida adds a bad loss to their pair of early season embarrassments.

Welcome to the Q3 loss club.

 

[DaMuttzNutt]

KY as a 2 in the south
Tenn as a 2 in the midwest
North Carolina as a 2 in the east
Iowa State as a 2 in the west

Creighton a 3 in the south
Duke as a 3 in the east
Marquette as a 3 in the midwest
Baylor as a 3 in the west

Houston south
Purdue midwest
Zona west
Huskies east

I would love the Huskies to have NC, Duke, Alabama as they're 2-4 in the east.

 

[aceboon]

Kam Jones's stepback is filthy

 

[auror]

Wow Jones with a tough layup that got him knocked to the ground and slid 8 feet. Sprinted back on D because he was behind the play. Then got the ball on offense and got super high pressure D against him that he was forced to beat 1v1. Stepback 3, swish.

Dude must be exhausted in this timeout.

Duke and UNC can't both be in the same region as they're 2 of the first 3 teams from a conference.

Kam Jones making NBA plays

 

[87Xfer]

Duke and UNC can't both be in the same region as they're 2 of the first 3 teams from a conference.

I like the score of that one right now. No jinx intended.

 

[Tenspro2002]

Marquette looks like they'll pull it out.

That means we get Xavier/Butler on Thursday and, if we win, Seton Hall or St. John's (if we win tonight) or PC (if we lose tonight) on Friday.

 

[FfldCntyFan]

Marquette ruining our perfect BET bracket

The bracket would have been perfect regardless. We're sitting at #1, ready to take on anyone in our way.

 

[UCTitleTown]

Houston locked up the overall #1 seed in the NCAA Tournament with today's 30 point destruction of Timberlake (4 pts. ) and Kansas. I was hoping Kansas could pull an upset. I wasn't tremendously impressed with Houston, but this win definitely got my attention. I guess playing with minimal bench didn't hurt them. They will be a real contender.

 

[bazz&boujee]

Nova lost 6 straight games against top 10 teams. If Cincy played that schedule, it would be 6 blowouts.

Pretty sure Nova would beat Cincy head on.

Calling the Big East garbage just shows you are nothing but a clueless troll. Mod should just ban your a**.

He offers good banter, lighten up. You’re falling for it

 

[uconnfan68]

Dickinson went out. Separated shoulder?

This kills their hopes. He’s out.

 

[UConnTrumbull]

The bracket would have been perfect regardless. We're sitting at #1, ready to take on anyone in our way.

If you poll 1000 UConn fans and the options are: Marquette, likely with Kolek, or Seton Hall/Johnnies/PC… I mean. You know the result.

 

[formerlurker]

If Devin Carter isn't throwing himself to the floor after a missed shot, even money says he's rubbing a body part as if it is about to fall off.

 

[UCTitleTown]

UNC beats Duke at Camron and the best part is Cooper Flagg was there to experience it.

 

[aceboon]

I think Scheyer is a decent coach but this sums up how I feel about Duke watching them. Cormac Ryan going into Cameron and dropping 30 is a bad look
