Here’s our current team sheet. Result based metrics pretty good, but the predictive don’t like us nearly as much.

Kind of silly considering past performance, i.e. results, is the best predictor of future behavior.

Oregon St would currently be a Q1 if we meet them in Hawaii. Hope Creighton can finish as a Q1 but not in the tourney

A hill that I will die on is that all postseason brackets in all sports in all levels should be only based on results. Predictive measures or perceptions of who is good should not matter at all. Whether someone (or some algorithm) believes you have a chance of winning should not matter.  It should only be based on who has earned their spot.

Scoring those 5 garbage points were probably bigger than we think.

Finishing games has been a Husker specialty, especially against inferior opponents.

The SEC is really flexing their muscles this season. If we can stay ahead of the other conferences this season and Nebraska finishes in the top half of the conference, then we should be in good shape.

Big separation between the Big 10/12 and the ACC/Big East as well.

Updated Alternative Metrics this morning outside of KP.

 

Resume Metrics: KPI 25, Strength of Record 39, Wins Above Bubble 47

 

Result Based Metrics: BPI 41, T-Rank 42 (KenPom 48)

 

NET: 57

Being 47 wins above the bubble feels very safe.
