I will certainly use "certain" next time for certain.

I realize now that I should have qualified my statement by singling out offensive/defensive efficiency metrics.

Result-based metrics like WAB have MU far off the bubble because that metric is directly tied to wins.

My initial post was semantically challenged.

You were demoted to a mid-major and proving yourself again, leading a school to an undefeated season to date.  Should be thrilled and joyful of what you have going on.  And yet you pull crap like this.  this will not reflect well on his resume come April.

Looking forward to his fake apology and how he will try and do better moving forward.

Quote from: Jay Bee on Today at 08:48:04 AMWell, except a key metric: Wins and Losses. They simply do not. They are 5-9.

I think saying, "they have played better than their record might indicate" is fine... but this bubble team stuff is just grasping for what isn't there.


I guess I don't consider W/L a metric, but maybe analytically fits better

Quote from: TheButlerDidIt on Today at 08:46:53 AMNo one is kidding themselves. No one ever said anything about wins/record breakdown. No one ever disputed that.

Eh, but they are. If you say, 'certain metrics', OK, maybe. But, 'their metrics are that of a bubble team' is crazy town talk.

Quote from: TheButlerDidIt on Today at 07:47:55 AMSince January 1, MU has the metrics of a bubble team. That is all anyone is saying. Since the start of the season, they do not. Easy peasy.

What bubble team has zero q1 wins, 1 road win and a losing record?

Playing better no doubt but let's not kid ourselves here.

It's not even March of 2026 yet. It has been the longest 404 days of people's lives, and counting.
