And just one away from the number of teams issued dance cards. 0-3/2-0/4-0/5-0 Bills at 69 BC at 132 Tulane at 108 K State at 98 Belmont at 114 E Wash at 123 Duq 62 Seton Hall 22 Auburn 6 SIU 200 Umass 126 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crewsorlose Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 13-5 in A-10 will mean plenty of really good wins. I see this team more at 10 wins in conference. Even if we're on the outside looking in a month from now, there's nothing that a three-week hot streak in February wouldn't cure. A strong OOC has given teams in the A-10 plenty of chances to find ways to boost their resumes with Q1 and Q2 victories. Here are SLU's, as of 1/8 Q1: @Richmond, Dayton, @Dayton, VCU Q2 @Lasalle, Duquesne, @UMass, @URI, @George Mason. That's 9 out of 16 games. Keep rooting for Kansas St., BC, and Tulane!

Throw @Davidson into the Q2 bucket. Today they are NET 99. The NCAA Team Sheets do a good job plotting all of this.

cgeldmacher Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Someone please explain what I am not understanding here. BC has a NET of 132. They are listed as being a Q2 team. All of the teams that we have beaten that are listed as Q3 teams have NET lower than 132. What's the deal there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Net Rating cut-off between Quadrants is different for Home, away and neutral games. cgeldmacher likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistol Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 We're getting some more help tonight, with Seton Hall taking down Xavier on the road and Auburn holding on against Vandy at home. JohnnyJumpUp likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BJK Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Pretty much swapped spots with Richmond... they move back 17 or so spots. A10 with six teams in the top 66 spots! Solid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoosierPal Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 By this NET Bracket, Billikens are IN the NCAA tourney, today. As it states, this bracket is based solely on NET ratings. Dayton, VCU and Duquesne are also in. In the real world, I believe we are in the ever expanding bubble. https://bracketologists.com/bracket/ Kansas State needs to start winning some conference games, or our W might slip a quad.

Compton Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Seton Hall jumping more than anyone else in both AP (up 8 to 18) and Coaches polls (up 7 to 18). Obviously the NET Rankings matter most, but doesn’t hurt when our only two non-con losses are consensus top 20. almaman likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mizzou way ahead of us. Not sure how that happens KenPom is a predictive formula. It says on the website, the formula does not intend to determine how good a team's season has been so far. The formula is: adjusted offensive efficiency - adjusted defensive efficiency...So our KenPom rating is 101.2-92.7 = 8.53. I would imagine KenPom is lower than others (NET, RPI, etc) because we have won a handful of close games. Those would seemingly hurt us more in kenpom than in NET or RPI. I wouldn't worry about it too much. We could win a ton of games, but if our offensive efficiency doesn't improve drastically, our KenPom rating won't really improve too much.

johnbj14 Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 This can obviously change, but looking at the rest of the season, T-Rank (a great free site) shows SLU favored in all but 3 remaining games. http://www.barttorvik.com/team.php?team=Saint+Louis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
