I just assumed that post belonged in the womens thread lol.

A&M is one of those weird medical cases that end up in a journal. The reason they’re still in, I think, is because they’re 6-5 in Q1 games and 3-3 in Q1A games. Wins over Tennessee and Iowa St. Their big wins stack up against anyone. The reason they are the last team in is because they are 2-4 in Q3… their loss to Arky last night bumped their road loss to Arky to a Q2 lol. They were swept by Arkansas, lost to Vandy, and lost to LSU at home. Their terrible losses are worse than most bubble teams. They could just as easily beat Tennessee and South Carolina and go on to lose to Georgia, Miss St, and Ole Miss.

She’s not a stat sheet filler by any means, but it appears she does the little things right. She picks her times to try and shoot/create on offense. However, it doesn’t appear she is a “gotta have mine” type of player. These types of players can typically have varying views because you can look at a box score and see that they played 20 minutes and had 0 points or 0 rebounds, etc. I think every team needs a KM. She kind of reminds me of a Josiah Allick/Sammy H from the men’s team.

A few days old, but I like this picture for where teams most likely stand.

Results (2/20/24): MSU drops to #24 in the NET. That’s a season series sweep of A&M for Arkansas. A&M now how to travel to Tennessee. Outside of that, a pretty uneventful night on the bubble. Big 10 Games Iowa 78 @ Michigan St 71 Maryland 70 @ Wisconsin 74 Non-Con Opponents Games St Louis 66 @ Duquesne 81 Other Bubble Games Butler 62 @ Villanova 72 Syracuse 87 @ NCST 83 Arkansas 78 @ Texas A&M 71 Baylor 71 @ BYU 78 TCU 81 @ Texas Tech 82 Pitt 58 @ Wake Forest 91 SJSU 50 @ Boise St 82 San Francisco 66 @ St Mary’s 70 Wyoming 58 @ Nevada 76 Games To Watch (2/21/24): Obviously the biggest game of the day is in Bloomington. A win there puts our tourney odds at 80%(ish). Miami fringe bubble, don’t want any home wins. Florida is a ways away from being out but it doesn’t hurt to muddy the waters with teams ahead of us. Cincinnati would probably need to win out if they lose tonight. St John’s, Indiana St, and Drake are facing nail in coffin games where a loss means they need auto birth— maybe Memphis in here too. South Florida is a sneaky bid stealer who has won 10 in a row. Their metrics suck and their SOS is worse, they’ve got just 1 Q1 win (away at #75) but they’ve beaten both Memphis and FAU in conference. A few double bubble games where we probably want the home team.

Tomorrow we’ll either be tied in the standings with Michigan St or Iowa. That Arkansas win was huge. Legit, all we need to do is take care of our business and we’ll be far away from the bubble.

You’re right in that I don’t think MSU drops 10 spots in the NET tonight. However, they still have OSU, Purdue, Northwestern, and Indiana left and there’s a lot of possible losses out there unfortunately.

I would say end of NEXT weekend should give us a better idea. Still a little early to start locking some teams in and saying some teams need to win their conference.

I’ve got my eye on that Iowa MSU game. Cannot let MSU slip to a Q2

Good lord! Overbeek played in all three games this weekend going 5/12 (.416) with 3 runs and 2 RBI’s. A big big loss.

Saw it on The Athletic website articles.

Was running through a quick glance at some bubble teams and man… Indiana St is way way out at this point. Probably needs the auto bid. They don’t have any quality left in the regular season to boost them. Their singular Q1 win is teetering on a Q2 and likely will get there which would leave them winless in Q1. It’s over for them pending an auto bid.

The thing about the “entire team meeting” is that it should be easily verifiable as there were so many people allegedly there. It wouldn’t be completely surprising for something like that to happen though. We as humans, in situations like those, usually aren’t completely prepared to handle them logically. It could very well have been an attempt at an “alright, let’s hash this out before we play” meeting that went off the rails.

UVA is either Nebraska at home or Nebraska on the road this year. There is no middle ground lol.

Items #12 and #13 also point out this may have been an ongoing issue with Love and I think answers some of the “students” questions we had above. Im also curious as it hints at Williams husband possibly knowing but never outright says that he knew. (#40)

Yeah— like I said, idk how he factors those numbers but… that’s what his numbers said.

More info in that article than there was in the other one. Just one side of the story, but it paints a really rough picture.

I don’t know why… and not 100% sure on how Bart T comes up with the number, but supposedly our biggest game yesterday for rooting interest was SC St at Howard. SC ST won that one too!

Results (2/19/24): KSU and Texas both looked rough… but KSU was worse. One win… one win and they likely jump back into the top 75. Sigh. It’ll come. Every little bit counts with our non-con opponents. With last nights results, we jumped up a spot in the NET, KPI, and SOR. Big 10 Games NONE Non-Con Opponents Games SC St 75 @ Howard 68 Florida A&M 68 @ Alcorn St 79 Kansas State 56 @ Texas 62 Other Bubble Games None Games To Watch (2/20/24): Need both B1G home teams today. We’re Christmas colors for rooting interests. Green and red baby! Outside of that, big ole slate of bubble games today. Tim could do us a real solid today but that’s a long shot. In the double bubble games, Torvak says to root for Pittsburg, Villanova, and NCST. Big 10 Games Iowa @ Michigan St Maryland @ Wisconsin Non-Con Opponents Games St Louis @ Duquesne Other Bubble Games Butler @ Villanova Syracuse @ NCST Arkansas @ Texas A&M Baylor @ BYU TCU @ Texas Tech Pitt @ Wake Forest SJSU @ Boise St San Francisco @ St Mary’s Wyoming @ Nevada

They looked a little deflated at the end of that NW game. If we can come out and jump on them right away, they might pack it in.

If we’re being honest, neither of these teams should be in the field. This is some bad basketball.

Absolutely-- KSU is so far from the bubble and you get to root against Texas. It's a double win. Just don't do the "horns down" or you might get kicked out of the establishment you're in.

Virginia looked awful and they are right back on the bubble. Wow.

I didn’t have to hunt hard— someone posted in this thread and moved it to the top. Your post was the one right before theirs.

Can’t believe that video leaked. I remember at the time you had mentioned you knew a little more than we did about what happened. Had no idea you had the actual video though.
