Dayton switched spots with us. i guess we run the table leading up to DC, who knows. with the tough remaining schedule, we might have a chance yet. surely cant lose anymore. but i have no computer understanding. Road losses to decent teams don’t hurt as much in the NET. Crewsorlose likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure 99% of this board (including myself) said we had no shot at an at-large after losing @ UMASS yet we found ourselves in consideration just 2.5 weeks later. We run the table and lose in the A10 championship game we end at 25-9 with a NET that, depending how other teams finish, I would assume would be in the 40s so who knows indeed. Now if we can win the A10 tourney I really like our chances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

courtside Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Former SLU assistant Porter Moser has the Oklahoma Sooners competing for an NCAA Tourney invite in his first season, despite a lot of roster turnover. 28 KenPom, 39 NET. Some have the Sooners as last 4 in, some have them first four out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really smart job to take by him, but one that comes with much higher expectations in the first few years because he didn't take over from a coach that was fired.

courtside Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Oklahoma has played a Top 10 schedule. In KenPom for example, they are ranked 338th in luck factor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regarding at-large: SLU has to beat VCU and Davidson to get back on the bubble. Can’t lose to St Joe’s and RI. Could they do all of that and maybe get away with a loss at Richmond? They’d probably have to get to the A-10 Championship and have plenty of other conf chalk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The remaining schedule doesn't seem tough, but it's 3 Q2 games (although URI is dropping like a lead balloon) and 1 Q1 game. If we win all 5 our NET will likely be in the low 40s going into the tourney. 6 weeks ago people thought 15-3 wouldn't get us an at-large. Things have worked in our favor though (thanks Boise St., Auburn, and late Memphis surge), and 14-4 will do it. Damn that UMass loss hurts.

There are probably 1 or 2 teams we can afford to lose to in the tourney assuming we win out. Losing a close game to Dayton in the A10 finals likely doesn't drop us much if at all going into selection Sunday (assuming they continue playing well). Fingers crossed the George Masons of the A10 don't get hot come tourney time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't go undefeated, you are going to have losses that break up your win streaks. rgbilliken likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
