Kolek planning to go pro
Yes, we do, and this is evidence you don't understand the process. I almost never look at head to head. Honestly, I don't care about it at all unless there's no separating the teams. On 1/1, I had Baylor as a 4 and Marquette as a 7. Baylor's best wins were UCLA & Gonzaga on neutral courts, both better than Marquette's home win over Baylor. They had no losses outside Q1, while MU lost at home to a sub-50 UW team. The resumes weren't even close.Had Marquette beat Madison and Providence, then maybe that head to head comes into play. But they didn't, so it didn't. You'd have to be really lazy or biased to put Marquette ahead of Baylor.
With H2H not mattering, what is the basis for then having UW ahead of Marquette? Marquette has better metrics and Wisconsin has a Q3 loss.
Wisconsin is 5-1 vs Q1+2, Marquette is 4-4. They are very close to each other currently, but that Q1+2 number is huge.
Lunardi has Marquette as the last 4 seed, just inside the Top 16. MASSIVE MASSIVE week ahead.
Gargantuan week for MU hoops. This very well could be the beginning of the prime-time resurgence Goose has mentioned a number of times.
Lunardi's bracket is always wack.He had us as a 5. Dropped us to a 6 after beating SJU. Which I thought was reasonable due to our lack of wins plus some of the other results teams like Kstate and ISU for example had last week.But now we launched up to a 4 playing Gtown. I think hes got us higher than what we would really be at ths point.But big week this week and it could be a legit 4/5
I'll stick with my opinion on Gold. He'll be in foul trouble within the first eight minutes.
It's because Lunardi is a click bait seeker. We aren't in protected seed territory. He's simply wrong right now.
I would take the Rick SLU program right now.
MASSIVE! GARGANTUAN!! HUMONGOUS!!!
Yes. it's a MAMMOTH week whether people want to accept facts or not.
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
Yes. it's a MAMMOTH week whether people want to accept facts or not. We are more than capable of inflicting relentless damage and getting two wins.
Thanks, Muggs. I had been thinking this game didn't matter at all. Sunday's too.
Didn't just yesterday you say that if the MU hung onto their top 25 rankings post-PC 2OT loss, they'd be a top 15 team right now, which also equates to a protected seed?I am not arguing either way as I think MU has too many losses at the moment to be a top 16 team resume-wise, but I am getting more convinced by the day they may actually be one of the best 15 teams in the country even if the resume doesn't support that with the Wisco and Miss St losses.
Thats AP ranking vs tournament seeding. Very different animals.
The players nor the fans cannot lose focus here.
I am well aware of the difference and stated as much. Still curious how one could say you'd be a top 15 team, yet "not in protected seed" territory.
What would happen if the fans not going to the game lost focus?
