Upsets! / Surprise results.

The system and overall rankings they use. The A/B classification is nowhere on the team sheets. It's meaningless.

That was my reaction to Chicos' post initially as well.. but, I think it may be relevant. We need to ax questions of the committee...

Indeed, it's irrelevant to the team sheet... but, folks I believe can use whatever they wish... tarot cards, etc... if that's useful information to them.

To think that some* (and I'm positive not all, but maybe* some) look at kenpom's site and do look at A/B games when selecting and seeding teams doesn't seem that far fetched to me.

So, I'd say... there may be some relevance to A/B kenpom classifications when it comes to tourney selection time... probably not much tho.

I think when it comes to amateur bracketologists, they have meaning, especially before the first round of NET and Team Sheets, but once we get to Selection Sunday, I don't think anyone in that room is focusing on kenpom's A/B classification when they have the Quadrants in front of them.

Purdue Michigan almost seems to be ending exactly like MU prov

With all due respect I would suggest reading what committee members have said over the years.  I have been friends with two people that have served on the committee at various points over the years, both are conference commissioners.  There are a bunch of materials provided to the committee members.  They are also allowed to bring their own materials, or at least were....I would have to confirm.

My point is that things shift and individual committee members sometimes do gut feel / old school while others are heavy into the various data options.

Down goes Maryland.

There are truly no elite teams this year. MU gets in with a 10 seed and wins two games is the most unlikely - likely thing ever this year.

[Cheeks]

Ohio State loses fourth straight....I thought only Wojo did that when his teams are ranked.

[Mr. Nielsen]

Ok, not a surprise. Syracuse and Virginia tied at 39 point with 3 minutes left in the game. Shootout.

[Mr. Nielsen]

Clemson down by 10 at halftime, win in overtime at North Carolina. First ever win at UNC.

Wojo to UNC!!

Wisconsin beats Penn st. Big ten has 5 road wins in conference play and they have 2 of them. Wish we could win on the road.

[Mr. Nielsen]

Purdue up 71-42 late on Michigan State on CBS.

Wish we could beat Purdue....

BOOM!

[Mr. Nielsen]

UConn hits a three to tie. No foul up by three by Wichita State. 9-0 run by UConn to force OT. Games on CBSSN.

[Oldgym]

Wish we could beat Purdue....

Very helpful. I'll remember the Purdue win fondly as we're hoping for a game at the Al in the NIT.

OK, you do that.

[Mr. Nielsen]

South Florida leads #21 Memphis, 51-37 on ESPN2.

MU is in 9th place in BEast, only ahead of DePaul which will change when they kick Wojos ass.

We are in 6th place....nice lie again, Willie.

[WhiteTrash]

We are in 6th place....nice lie again, Willie.

Seriously? Out of ten teams only one has a worse record. We are both 6th and 9th.

[Cheeks]

Seriously? Out of ten teams only one has a worse record. We are both 6th and 9th.

You didn't take sports as a young man, did you....or your male card was revoked.

We are tied for 6th.  That's how it works.  You aren't in 6th and 9th...we are tied for 6th.  DePaul is 10th. You don't get to make up new rules now that no one in sports recognizes.   

It also means nothing at this time of year because some teams have played tougher conference schedules than others have....but whatever fits your agenda.

[WhiteTrash]

Okay. Fair enough. We are 6th.

We are in serious jeopardy of  missing the Tourney and maybe looking for a new coach, agreed or your male card will be revoked?

[rocket surgeon]

how does ohio state go into yesterdays game ranked 11th being 1-3 in big ten(now 1-4) with a 2-4 record over previous 6 games(now 2-5)?  yes, they have some big wins, but those were a long time ago now
