Feed working great. Deleware St. down 4 nearing half. Plenty of good seats available.

There are far more teams on the bubble that didn't play them than did play them though. We did, so we probably need them to win, although you are correct in that there are scenarios it could backfire. Not to mention we did not play Duke and some bubble teams did.

Agreed not that big of a deal.

No Sit Sunday a distant first that will never be replicated. Single moment from that game early when Petteway hit pull up three and the madness during the ensuing time out. One enjoyable memory from the Sadler era was that super tiny team outhusling and outplaying one of Kansas best teams ever in the conference tourney for about 25 minutes. That was so much fun.

That would be ideal, but his performance has largely been in a big grey area to this point, making it a bit of a polarizing situation.

Agree, it could be a rude awakening for many that think we have that one in the bag. If they are focused, I wouldn't expect to beat them on the road. I really hope they just don't care.

and quickness.

Probably scheduling a little more aggressively due to projected experience of the team. I doubt we will typically have such a hard schedule. Personally, I don't really care. What I do feel I know is that this waste of a week is not good for this season and it would suck big time if it contributes to missing the dance.

Not quite the same though, as those extra 2 games will replace non conference games in December. In many cases some decent non conference games. This year they do not and everything is forced to be compacted down and it is hurting the league.

Tiers way too wide to be of much use. It is a very lazy tool. It is simply rehashing the RPI column and is redundant, especially when the RPI is flawed in the first place. You have to look at who they actually played, not this tier garbage.

RPI just scares me a little. If RPI is respected enough that they have an entire new column of these ridiculous tiers which are also based on RPI then it scares me.

This tier nonsense gets dumber the more I learn. Now 50th equals one sometimes? Wow. What a ludicrous tool to have on a sheet.

I am pretty sure Wichita is who we wanted there. They are going to the dance. Now Temple could as well.

I just cannot imagine the selection people being so shortsided that Michigan being 35 or something versus 30 is that big of a deal. If it is, then they need a system that doesn't require the services of a committee.

Yep they have no margin for error due to the inability of RPI to adjust itself throughout the season properly.

Yes, this conference tourney a week early is not a good thing in general. Teams had to prep for conference games in December, instead of tuning in more on other games, like normal. Expended more energy on huge conference games in general, where that energy would have been focused elsewhere. And it probably affected some of the coaches scheduling out of conference as well, and the when lose a few more games than we would hope, we are buried in RPI with no way to save it as a league. We are the Big Ten. We don't need to shift our shit around for a building, especially one that doesn't make a hell of a lot of sense to play this thing at in the first place.

Exactly!!

Those obsessed freaks like Double Douche etc over at that crappy Creighton board sure love to use the RPI as it fits their agenda nicely.

Sag order East Ten Ten East Ten East Ten East East Ten Ten East East Ten Ten Ten Ten Ten Ten Ten East East Ten RPI order East East Ten East Ten Ten East East Ten East East Ten Ten East Ten Ten Ten Ten Ten Ten Ten East Ten This shows that when things get set with early season out of conference games in RPI they cannot unset. It is also why it can be manipulated like the Mo Valley used to do. It is extremely flawed. Sag order is a realistic indicator of the conference pecking order. Once the RPI gets skewed it continues to spiral out of control all year by feeding off of the skewed data.

First column realtime rpi second number sagarain rating which loosely resembles truly how good you are similar to Vegas. We are clearly being overly victimized by the flaws of the RPI as a league. Only two teams have a better RPI than Sag rating and they are very close. Some incredibly large gaps the otherway around. Lots of them. Our league is way better than how it is being credited in the RPI. purdue 8-2 ohio st 22-25 mich st 23 -6 michigan 32-18 maryland 58-36 nebraska 59-63 NW 104-54 Penn St 110-49 Indiana 119-69 Minny 122-65 Iowa 145-77 Wisconsin 146-75 Illinois 158-79 Rutgers 199-135

Oh right it is 30 not 25, lol Even dumber yet. If they are taking note like they should and you say they do, then there is absolutely no reason to have these asinine tiers. Not a single one.

And also to Cookie's point, when you have above average coaching in your league, teams get better during the season at an above average rate as well. This cannot really be factored in with the way this works.
