Who says the employee's work is worth $20 an hour? If the boss is only willing to pay $15, and the employee isn't willing to leave, then by definition the work is worth $15.

 

That seems like what I learned in Econ.  The best measure of the value of a good or service is what a willing buyer will pay to a willing seller, where neither party is being coerced.  Or something like that.

Turns out that Delaware St game against Morgan St. didn't matter too much.

That's too bad for us because that's a great loss for Providence and one that will move them up Lunardi's bracket and put them securely in the field.

Here is the deal... If Nebraska was typical Nebraska we probably lose both Minnesota games and both Wisconsin Game.  I would assume Maryland probably beats us, Indiana probably beats us. Michigan definitely beats us and Penn St probably wins that game at PBA... That would puts us at 7 more losses and 5-13

 

The Conference looks better because...

Maryland is 20-11 (9-9)

Penn State is 20-11 (10-8)

Wisconsin is 16-15 (9-9)

Michigan is 28-6 (14-4)

Indiana is 17-13 (10-8)

 

If we were in our rightful place as a bottom feeder, Big 10 get's 6 teams in without question, because the Big 10 is more balanced.

 

We basically f***ed ourself by being good I guess?

i was thinking about this earlier. There could be situations where it might be better to lose a game to a team, giving them a RPI boost, and then beating them the second time if that RPI Boost makes it a quadrant one win, rather than beating them twice and getting two Quad 2 wins.

While you are overthinking the importance of quadrants massively, just the fact you had to consider it speaks to how stupid the quadrants based on RPI is.

Not listed because, if Providence loses, that loss falls off the face of the planet. If they win, they will be volted off the bubble and into a top 10 seed.

Sarcasm noted ?

While it's possible that your opponent would be quadrant 1 instead of quadrant 2 by going 1-1, I would pretty strongly argue that you would still be better off winning both games and having your own RPI much higher with a better win-loss record and having one less Tier 1 win.

Midwestern common sense thinking will save the world!

Well... South Carolina let that one slip away. Turned the ball over with 12 seconds to go and LSU pops up a 3 to take it to overtime.

 

Starts OT on an 8-0 run!

Thanks for doing this, @HuskerFever. Trimming down tonight's list, it looks to me as if the most important games are:

- Boston College over Syracuse (probably #1)

- Xavier over Providence

- South Carolina over LSU

 

I think you accidentally bolded Kentucky instead of Ole Miss, but like you said, not that important.

 

I'm also pretty sure that Seton Hall is in either way win or lose tonight.

2 out of 3 start it looks like!!!  LETS GO BC

Big Ten Tourney  Illinois/Iowa-  4:30 BTN  Pick em   Need Illinois as we played them twice
Providence 43/Xavier 2 - 5:30 FS1  Xavier - 10 Badly need Xavier
LSU 82/South Carolina 75 - 5:30 SEC Network  S. carolina -5  Need South Carolina
Pittsburgh 207/Notre Dame 67 -  6pm ESPNU  Notre Dame - 20  Need Pittsburgh.  How did Pittsburgh get this bad?
Villanova 3/Seton Hall 22 - 7:30  FS1  Villanova -6  Need Villanova
Texas A&M 28 /Georgia 70 - 7:30 SEC Network  Georgia -1  Need Georgia here 
Florida State 47/Clemson  10- 8pm ESPNU  Clemson -4  Need Clemson
Syracuse 44/Boston College 102 - 8pm ACC Network/ESPN3  Syracuse -1  Need Boston College very badly
Butler 34/St. John's 88 - 8pm CBS Sports Network Butler - 2 1/2  Need St. Johns
Eastern Illinois/Tennessee State - 8:30   http://ovcdigitalnetwork.com/watch/?Live=6278&type=Live  Tennessee St - 3 1/2  Need Eastern Illinois.  Also, would appreciate some help scouting these rims in this building.  Have a potential HUGE play tomorrow on an Ohio Valley tourney game that I will share, but need to see how tight or loose the rims are.  Try not to be influenced simply by shots going in or not if you weigh in.  Easier said than done.

 

Updating throughout the night.

Completely unrelated. Wasn't sure where to put this, but when looking at 'against the spread' we not have a competitor that isn't Xavier.

 

The Canisius Golden Griffins are sitting pretty at 20-8-1 ATS and 21-10 as their actual hoops record.

 

If only we knew to bet on Nebraska, Canisius, Xavier, Auburn, and Michigan we'd be doing quite alright!
