I’d say all of these losses were hanging in the balance in the final minutes (UCONN pulled away but that was an 18 point blown lead).

@Seton Hall
Oklahoma State
@UCLA
Seton Hall
@Xavier
UCONN
DePaul
@Providence
St John’s
Creighton
Seton Hall

I’d count maybe 3 close ones that were teetering in the final minutes that went our way. So, of the 15 “close” games, we only came away with 3 of them. That’s a problem.

Losing close games is usually a reflection of 3 things (IMHO):

1. Poor coaching.

2. Lack of a "closer" on the team.

3. Bad luck.

I'd say we had/have a combination of all three.

Kunkel has turned out to be a mediocre-at-best player but against us he hit everything, including the winner that he literally threw in from 30 feet. That was extraordinarily bad luck. Probably a couple others can be in that category, too. Of course, the win over Wisconsin has to go into the good luck pile - first, a borderline foul call, then Justin's tip-in - so maybe they cancel each other out.

DJ is the nearest we have to a closer, but he is not the most consistent player in the land. We certainly have nothing close to a proven go-to guy in the clutch.

As for point No. 1 ... nuff said.

Just checked today’s updated NET Marquette # 89 but MU has 4 Quad 1 Wins. Nobody outside of the Top NET 39 has more than 4 Quad 1 Wins.

Pomeroy has us ranked as the 222nd “luckiest” team out of 357 - IOW, a little more unlucky than average.

I agree with Pomeroy that we’ve been a little unlucky. I also agree with you that coaching and the lack of a closer has made us a little more prone to “bad luck”.

We are totally in agreement here, Tony.

Marquette Ranks #64 in DRatings

With all the best sites within the same range on their point estimates, this begs to question the accuracy of the NET ratings which has MU at 90. Personally, I think it is very positively biased toward the large conference B1G in the shortened COVID year, whereas the smaller BE gets hosed especially with so many games cancelled.

Don't get me wrong about thinking MU is a bubble team, but teams like Indiana, MSU, Stanford and Duke are not bubble teams by quality but they are in the mix by conference. I would hope that in this year the conversation is deeper but I doubt it. The NET fails in my book and is the worst of all the statistical rankings. C19 exposed it.

Who knows how much home court is factored in either. We were relatively poor against average teams (Q2) at the Fiserv this year. Meanwhile Minnesota didn’t win a road but took care of business at home and are way ahead in NET. NET really shouldn’t be used much this year.

how far does the seed for Nova drop?

I'd guess a couple lines if the committee factors in Gillespie being out.
Not mentioning the status of Justin Moore's ankle injury.

Seeding isn't supposed to work like that. It doesn't matter if Nova isn't as good without Gillespie/Moore. What matters is what seed does their resume earn them.

I do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.

I feel like Cincinnati dropped a line or two the year Kenyon Martin got hurt.

Any word on severity of Moore's injury?  Any chance he plays in the BET?
I would take the Rick SLU program right now.

VUHoops seems to think he is out. Wright said that the ankle injury was "very serious"
Assume what I say should be in teal if it doesn't pass the smell test for you.

I believe that, back then, they considered things like injuries, play in last 10 games, etc. Supposedly they don't consider that stuff now.
