Recruit (1/7)
-
They said that in previous years. I wasnt talking about after the fact. I know Kenpom is one thing they also consider, among others I am sure, and Bona was #79 in KenPom. Butler was 40. Temple was the worst KenPom ranked team to get an at large at #86. I dont pretend to completely understand KenPom rankings and how that all works, I know it takes a lot of different factors into account, and by most opinions is a way better measure than the RPI.
-
Just seems odd out of all the teams to complain about Butler being the first. Unless he complained about others first and I missed it.
-
Not to mention I am seeing Butler at 56 in RPI and 4 teams below them in the RPI who got in: Michigan, Tulsa, Temple, Vandy. Not sure what your obsession with Butler is?
-
You are focusing way to much on the RPI. That might be true in a previous world but the committee has stated they are looking at other measures as well, the RPI is a piece but not the end all be all. Especially just looking solely at a teams overall RPI.
-
Yeah I dont get the Butler hating on being in? They has 3 top 25 RPI wins, 4 in the top 50. They also had zero "bad" losses. Bona definitely got screwed but it wasnt bc Butler got in. Having 2 sub 150 losses to Duquesne and Lasalle I;m sure hurt pretty bad too.

I guarantee there were more Purdue fans than Butler fans in Indy. Do you realize how small Butler is?
-
Yeah Butler is way down the list when talking about questionable teams, if on it at all.
-
Butler won @UC and beat Purdue on neutral court. That is 2 better wins away from home than probably half the field. What are you talking about?
-
This.

Agree about the recycle route. I think Underwood would be a very god hire.
-
Travis Steele would be a really good hire if they went assistant route. Great recruiter. No head coaching experience may be a downside. If Mack ever leaves XU Steele would get a long look but might not be quite ready for that level yet, especially with no HC experience.
-
Crews has been so bad and fans are so desperate for anyon else that it is blinding them into thinking retreads like Weber and Lavin would be good hires.
-
If mediocrity is your goal Lavin would be great. He has a name because he is on TV. He is a good recruiter but he did nothing with some really good talent at St. Johns.
-
Lavin would be an awful hire. He can't coach his way out of a paper bag. I like him as a studio guy and he is a decent recruiter but he is a bad coach.
-
Yeah he was very successful at VCU, but he did have 2 guys on his roster who were 1st round NBA picks. Wonder if he recruited them? Maybe he would do well again at a school with no football where basketball takes precedence.
