Kolek planning to go pro
I would take 10-8. Would mean we were safely in, somewhere between a 6 and 10 seed. Still hoping for better.
A 4 seed range?? LolWe would be much better than a 10 at 10-8
7 and 10 seeds are interchangeable - the games are usually toss ups. They’re preferred over 8 and 9 seeds. If 10-8 put us tied for 4th or in 5th and we lose our first BEast tournament game I could see us as a 7 or 10. Sorry you find that possibility so outrageously remote.LOL.
A 4 seed range?? Lol
HUH? the teams are usually interchangeable. But thats still 4 seed lines. Thats like me predicting a guy will be drafted 2nd-4th rounds. Bold.And no, 10-8 would not be close to a 10.We are not close to a 10 now. And that would mean 7-6 finish at worst.
A 7th seed is theoretically rated between 25 and 28 on the S curve. 10s are theoretically rated between 37 and 40, though often they are higher than 8s and 9s because a 10 is a more desirable seed (doesn’t face a #1 in round 2).But “we’re not CLOSE to a 10 now”. LOL what do you think we’re rated, genius?
Uh, what? Teams aren’t ranked 1-68 and called in order, being asked what seeding they’d like based on what’s available. If you’re ranked 29, you don’t get to pick to be a 10 seed because it makes for a more favorable draw. You’re seeded where you deserve to be, unless potential conference matchups or potential higher seeds getting bad locations based on matchups change those.
All I know is that frequently #10 seeds are higher rated than 9s (and sometimes 8s).We are currently #33 in Pomeroy and #35 in Sagerin - so “fair value” says a #9 seed. If things end that way I hope we get a 10 instead - it’s usually (IMO) an easier path.Some additional information:Average final Pomeroy ranking of 9 and 10 seeds over the last 3 seasons - 9 seeds = 41, 10 seeds = 38.Every year the highest rated #10 seed was rated higher than any #9. In 2017 3 #10 seeds were rated higher than all the #9 seeds.8 seed numbers are about the same as the 9s.
MU back to 10-8 projection....two weeks ago it was 7-11 with one ranking.Go Warriors.
What did the NET rankings show?
10-8 is about middle of the pack. Prefer 14-4. After all, we have the Duke Wunderkind as our coach.
Lol. No kidding. Wojo absolutely Tom Crean’d this. Start out 1-3 so a 10-8 season feels great. We are eliteElite at managing expectations.
Second best conference in the country....no one said we were elite....elite unicorns went away in 1977
Interesting conference this year compared to last. League ranks 3rd in Pomeroy trailing Big 12 by minuscule amount. However league quality is much better compared to last based on EM of ~15.25% compared to 10.5% last year. No top 10 teams at this stage for BE, with Butler and Seton Hall checking in at 10,11. Next is Nova at 26, then MU at 33.
2nd best conference in the country, sure...but then tell me why a program like MU with the resources they invest can't reasonably be the best(or top 3 for sure) in the conference year after year?? Answer...they should be in comparison to other schools in the conference.
No top 10 teams at this stage for BE, with Butler and Seton Hall checking in at 10,11.
wat
They should be, but are not. Coaching?????
