We had really good coversation in the SLU game thread so I wanted to kickstart a thread to talk about the rest of the season and the Bubble. The Bonnie are creeping up many lists out there into that 5th or 6th out area, which is good. They need to keep winning and winning by a lot. As we saw last night, KP and NET are stupid and closely linked. the VT loss is a huge anchor around our metric necks and that is really shitty. The good news is our KPI and SOR are in decent shape and are approaching at large territory:
Its really hard to know what exactly the committee will do but based on the reveal last weekend, they are valuing the result metrics a little more than the predictive, also good for us. However, most I have spoken to have said the NET and KP are just too low so we need to get those up. I thought blasting Rhody by 18 would help but it barely moved the needle. This is what I have:
Ignore the sites, I have not updated those since last week. The way I see it, all those teams at the bottom are on our hate list. Anybody that is a 10 seed or below is also someone that can slide down with some bad results.
Everything about our resume is a NCAAT worthy except for the predictive metrics. The reality is we have to run the table in the regular season and then probably make the A10 final beating one of the top 3 in getting there. However, alot of teams around the bubble are crumbling and we keep winning.
The bad news here is we are all Duke fans. They play UNC and Virginia and can do us a solid by not losing to them. Rutgers plays Michigan tonight in a loser leaves town match. Creighton plays St Johns. and here are other games of interest courtesy of Jive on twitter:
Duke - Virginia - Go Duke
Miss St. - So Car
St. Johns - Creighton
Rutgers - Mich
TCU - Texas
Vtech - Gtech
Mason - VCU
