Most of the B1G is

I don't mind it. The chances of Alvarado going up against Heimlich and getting a W were really slim. You are gonna find out a lot about these new arms against a really good lineup which will help you later in the season.

Bart Torvik has a good explanation of what Kenpom's "secret sauce" is, too. I found reading it was pretty informative. Click link, Ctrl+F "Secret Sauce": http://adamcwisports.blogspot.com/p/every-possession-counts.html

Some of you just really need to stop coming to the kenpom thread for your own sake.

This is for kenpom, not RPI. Penn St is 76th in the RPI currently.

Neb - 80 Indiana - 66 BIG BOUNCE BACK LET'S GO 4

I checked RPI Forecast for Michigan earlier today. According to their projections, if Michigan goes 3-0 or 2-1 to close the season, they will be top 30 RPI. If they go 2-1 it will be REALLY close. Worth mentioning that they will have an opportunity to improve their RPI in the B1G tournament before even playing us, so if they can get top 30 in the regular season, I like their chances of staying there even after we ravage them a second time. Anyway, that's just some inaccurate forecasting food for thought. Might be worth having a bubble watch for Top 30 RPI and decide who we need to move down in RPI for Michigan to move up

For sure - I only brought it up because it reinforces to me the importance of what the basketball team is doing on campus, and there was some discussion on here about whether they were just giving the guy the attention he wants.

I think the formula is quadrant-heavy rather than RPI-heavy. Of course RPI issues compound the quadrant issues.

Turns out the shooter yesterday was part of a white nationalist group. Puts what's going down at Nebraska into perspective. AP Story

Neb - 78 Ill - 69

For sure. They bait you into caring about their projections by saying they're 98% accurate with picks... on their final bracket before selection Sunday. I still like checking them to see what teams are in the same boat as us, though. Having rooting interests is just fun.
