DePaul back down to Q4 status.

Best thing for the conference would be for St. John's, Providence, Marquette, and DePaul to keep winning.

For the conference? Aside from playing each other, St John's plays Seton Hall, Providence plays Villanova, Marquette plays UConn and Xavier, and DePaul...just plays Georgetown. DPU beating Georgetown would be good for us, but any of those other teams winning would likely cost the Big East bids as Seton Hall, UConn, and Xavier are all bubble teams that can't afford losses to teams out of the field, and it's highly unlikely any of the teams you list can get into the at-large conversation.

TRank agrees. https://barttorvik.com/teamcast.php?team=Marquette&year=2021

I ran the numbers a few years ago and while a fun tool, Teamcast is terrible for predictions.

Adding a win over Georgetown would be very useful if Marquette won out the regular season. It won't move the resume dial, but entering the Big East Tournament at 15-12 would mean needing just one win to guarantee being +3 in the win column. That combined with what would be at least 4-5 Q1 wins would look good on the resume. Overall record matters, which is why Penn State isn't in the mix and teams like Indiana, Minnesota, and Seton Hall are on shaky ground.

I'll take your word for it. Any idea if he's improved it since then?

I'm not sure why it seems tough, but tools like this (or the old RPI Forecast site) struggle to adequately track futures. They often overvalue past results.

My suspicion is predictors like this struggle to account for all the various metrics. It might factor T-Rank & WAB okay, but I imagine it struggles with NET, SOR, kenpom, and others that play more of a role for the committee.

Another problem I suspect is that you are simply projecting W/L results. So forecasting last night's win would've likely expected a 1-point win in the program, and thus factor Marquette 10 points better than expected rather than the 22 points better the result actually produced.

A third problem I suspect is not accounting for the secondary impact of predicted results. Say you project MU to beat UNC, UConn, Xavier, and SHU (in the BET), the model will predict for Marquette. But does it also factor the extra loss for those other teams, losses that a neutral model would predict as wins? If not, that's a big blind spot.

Could be any number of reasons, but after having a lot of fun with those types of predictors early on, I now avoid them like the plague. The magic bullet was when I used one to predict an undefeated season for a Marquette team that was seen as a bubble team early on & the predictor told me that unbeaten season would result in a 4-seed. Made me curious enough to track them more in depth, then swear off them entirely.

Let’s see them rattle off 4-5 more Ws in a row and see where the chips fall. May as well enjoy it while good basketball is being played!

10th place in horrid big East. Thought the UNC win was maybe some optimism. Back to having doubts about Depaul game again

Its definitely not as good at it has been.  Horrid is probably a bit aggressive, tho.

Horrid is different than bad. Yet, both don't describe the Big East Conference this year or most likely ever.

I'm surprised UWGB stayed in it. Baby Bo has had like half of his team transfer in the past week.

UAPB really doesn't. They were underdogs and forcing OT probably helped them. Green Bay was a favorite and winning would've given them the chance to win again and improve our NET. Though ultimately, I doubt it has much impact.
