Title: Math Says MU will beat DePaul & a recap of the SJU disaster
Post by: andymartinelli2 on March 06, 2015, 03:04:35 PM
Among the game of basketball’s undeniable truths, right between “When your school hires John Calipari, you will face NCAA sanctions at some point” and “According to the Jordan/Bryant school of sports terminology, it’s ‘game of basketball’ and never just ‘basketball,’” is the fact that shooting gets easier the closer you get to the basket. As a result, your goal should be to reduce the distance between you and it before attempting a shot.

Marquette and St. John’s crapped all over that one Wednesday night... https://misix.com/a-rim-too-far-for-marquette (https://misix.com/a-rim-too-far-for-marquette)

I'm pulling for us and Xavier. As appealing as the 7/10 game is, I really want to beat DePaul and see 7 Big East teams get into the Dance. That means Xavier needs to win, and if we're going to the Tourney, we will have to beat 'Nova at some point anyway ;D

Nah, that upset is for someone else to accomplish who we then beat.

Right now the Team Rankings website gives us the seventh best chance to make the semifinals at 13.79%.  Trailing us (all at less than 10% are Seton Hall, Creighton and DePaul.  Strangely enough, Seton Hall has the better chance to win it all at .71% to our .62%.

So we would win the BET more than 1 in every 200 times? Sign me up.

I think he was implying he wants US to WIN the BE tournament.  That and a win for Xavier against Creighton gets the BE 7.

I obviously don't want to lose to DePaul, but I'd rather CU win. X is in either way. We have virtually no chance, but i like or chances better with the 10.
