The Wiz Posted November 20, 2015 Author Share Posted November 20, 2015 These are teams that definitely turned down the CBI (I am sure many others did too). The CBI took some really bad no name teams. Several may have turned down the NIT as they had a good RPI. 66. Yale 20 10 .5168 114 .5592 67. Syracuse 18 13 .5689 46 .5580 68. N Texas A&M 21 12 .5348 89 .5538 69. Florida 16 17 .6083 10 .5536 76. Toledo 20 13 .5340 90 .5473 79. Michigan 15 16 .6006 13 .5461 83. Massachusetts 17 15 .5639 54 .5434 89. Memphis 18 14 .5643 52 .5395 93. California 18 15 .5553 67 .5377 97. South Carolina 16 16 .5639 53 .5346 101. Minnesota 17 15 .5468 76 .5331 102. Tennessee 16 16 .5612 56 .5328 103. Seton Hall 16 15 .5398 80 .5315 105. La Salle 17 16 .5517 71 .5309 106.

Chattanooga 20 10 .4694 234 .5255 114. Western Kentucky 18 12 .4943 159 .5240 116. UNLV 17 15 .5433 79 .5237 117. Long Beach St. 14 17 .5393 81 .5236 120. Washington 16 15 .5375 83 .5232 124. Akron 20 14 .5095 130 .5225 127. St. Bonaventure 18 13 .4980 154 .5215 St. Francis Brooklyn was in the NIT last year so that is why I am surprised they fell so fast with a system that uses the year before as an anchor. Right now I am using about 30% real data for this year. 70% is a forecasting model of which last year is one of several factors. Is St. Fran an F+ team? They are today but it will be more meaningful in 5 more games.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLUfan_42 Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Absolutely, he'd of schooled the Cougars with his crafty post moves and ability to finish. During the recruiting phase, it looked like Neufeld was the man and Welmer the afterthought. I wasn't crazy about what I saw from Neufeld on his vids but figured the prep school year would make a big difference. So far I see no difference. Welmer on the other hand benefitted greatly from his prep year and really increased his skill level. Very disappointed we won't have the chance to see what he could bring this year. he's out for the whole year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old guy Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 As for my prior post, I totally agreed with the Wiz that both the rankings and the letter scales used are loose in the beginning of the season but after the results of actual play roll in they become increasingly accurate. No need to get upset about this, we are doing OK so far. Neither St. Francis nor us will have the same ranking or letter grade throughout all the season.

billikenbill Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 he's out for the whole year? Redshirting after the foot injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheeseman Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 he's out for the whole year? He was going to miss at least 4 months so it was determined that it was best for him to red shirt the entire year which does make sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnbj14 Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Would anyone happen to have had experience streaming a bills game while on an airplane? Debating on whether or not I should pay for Wi-Fi as I will be in the air for the duration of this game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLU_Nick Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Most airplane Wi-Fi networks have mechanisms in place that do not let you stream from websites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cgeldmacher Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Just saw the updated RPI. We are up to 8. I know it means nothing, but it is nice to see us on any sort of top whatever list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsmith19 Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Is this entirely from Hartford getting trounced by Louisville, or is there something I'm missing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BACKHANDtheRICAN Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Just saw the updated RPI. We are up to 8. I know it means nothing, but it is nice to see us on any sort of top whatever list. If only the season ended today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheA_Bomb Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 If only the season ended today. Yeah we'd be a 2 seed. Nah we'd probably get screwed and be a 3-4 seed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wiz Posted November 22, 2015 Author Share Posted November 22, 2015 It wasn't pretty but the Bills did what they needed to do.....only backwards. In a normal game, the Bills would have gotten off to an early lead and finished at the half up about 8. Then moving into the 2nd half continuing to build on the lead finishing the game out by a margin of 16 or 17. In this case they let the Terriers hang around the whole game with SLU building the lead in the final few minutes. In the end the slash line came in on target...could have made a couple of more free throws. but even there, if you cut out 1 player's FTs, the Bills shoot 75% which is decent as a team. In fact most of the stats came in on target. So on paper this game looked like a normal game. 3-0 is still 3-0....The Bills need to build on this now and step things up a notch....for the real season begins Tues.

Old guy Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 If you were the coach at St. Francis how would you have handled this game with SLU last night Wiz? The way they did it was by double teaming our top scorers (Crawford and Yacoubou), playing a very physical game, and emphasizing 3 pt. shooting. I would say that we were not really ready for this early on in the game, worse for us my feeling is that the SLU players entered the game in a very overconfident state and were surprised by St. Francis. Be what it may we managed which is what a good team is supposed to do, and they fell apart in the last few minutes of the game (most of our point margin of winning was made at the end), which is what bad teams do (and we did just that last year). As an example of what I am talking about North Florida played a great first half in their recent game against Louisville, only to be butchered by Louisville in the second half. I am glad we are moving forward, and assume our B- standing has become firmer after last night's game. By the way Teamranking for the first time is giving SLU a minor advantage over North Florida for Tuesday's game. I think this is positive.
