Looks like we have played the most Q1 games in the country. Also, UNC is 0-6 in Q1 games. Another stat, we have moved into the Top 10 in Assists per game.

Another stat, we have moved into the Top 10 in Assists per game.

MU is #2 in assist rate. Have been near top for a long while due to style of play. TKo is #20 individually, just wish he'd get his TO rate down.

[TSmith34, Inc.]

We just beat 3 top-20 teams. If we are not ranked, it is clearly a vast right write-wing conspiracy.

Another stat, we have moved into the Top 10 in Assists per game.

Too bad per stats no Matta. However, we are #2 in assist rate. Too bad it’s more of a style metric & doesn’t necessarily indicate efficiency.

#1 in the nation is Lafayette,  who has an awful offense.

From Bleacher Report:

West Region (San Francisco)

No. 8 Seton Hall vs. No. 9 Iowa

Portland, Oregon
No. 4 Texas Tech vs. No. 13 South Dakota State

No. 5 Marquette vs. No. 12 Iona

Greenville, South Carolina
No. 3 LSU vs. No. 14 Oakland

No. 6 Ohio State vs. No. 11 Miami

Indianapolis, Indiana
No. 2 Purdue vs. No. 15 Liberty

No. 7 West Virginia vs. No. 10 San Diego State

On the Rise: Marquette Golden Eagles (Up Four Seed Lines)
14-6, NET: 32, RES: 26.0, QUAL: 44.3

Have a week, Marquette.
Not only did the Golden Eagles become the first team to win at Villanova since February 2020, but they came back home a few days later and picked up an 11-point victory over then-AP No. 20 Xavier. They also beat Seton Hall the previous weekend and started their current six-game winning streak with a quality victory over Providence.
Marquette now has six Quadrant 1 wins, which is more than any team in the country not named Baylor. And the schedule is loaded with more opportunities in the immediate future. The Golden Eagles' next four games are: at Seton Hall, at Providence, vs. Villanova, at Connecticut. But at this point, they could go 0-4 in those games and still be in good shape to dance.

Normally, I'd want MU to play in Greenville so I could go ... but I actually will be in the PNW during the start of March Madness, so I'd love it if they went to Portland!

Otherwise, I'm hoping for Indy. I won't be able to make it but I know that would be convenient for a lot of MU fans, and we can use all the fans we can get. Plus, Indy always does a great job with hoops tourneys.

A 5 vs 12 matchup against Pitino?
F--k that.

[Goose]

I'd love Portland opening weekend. My daughter lives there and would make for a great weekend with her.

[PJDunn]

Let's just call it Portland. Easy drive for me, and what else matters??

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

A 5 vs 12 matchup against Pitino?
F--k that.

My first thought too

[MU82]

What ... you guys would feel bad about Pitino losing to Marquette in his final game at Iona?

I know this comment will make those of you who follow this stuff want to pull your hair out but Providence seems to be getting screwed.

I know this comment will make those of you who follow this stuff want to pull your hair out but Providence seems to be getting screwed.

How so?

I don't mean to be snarky, but their resume has all the hallmarks of a sham. Close buy game wins over Fairfield, New Hampshire, Vermont, and Central Connecticut (15 is bad when you're 25 point favorites). Their best wins are all by 2 possessions or fewer (Bucky, Northwestern, Texas Tech, UConn, SHU). Their 6-1 league record is mostly based on 4 wins over the league's bottom 4 teams. And their losses are horrendous blowouts (18 is really bad when you're a 1 point favorite).

Their resume compares favorably with 2018 Xavier, 2019 Marquette, and other teams that tend to get overseeded and lose early in March when their W/L results don't match their actual per possession production. Consider this, in 9 games against top-100 kenpom opposition, Providence is 7-2. In those same 7 games, they have a scoring differential of MINUS SEVEN!!! That is the definition of a team that isn't as good as their record shows.

Providence isn't getting screwed, they just aren't 16-2 good.

[Galway Eagle]

Has anyone noticed that every time someone brings up our UofI win people say "yeah but there was no Kofi" but I haven't seen the same with Providence's win over Bucky & Johnny Davis

My BADger friends never shut up about that.  They don't even count it as a loss.
