Excuse me. Stats and facts are not welcome here.

In the words of Mr. Bogues, fk stats and analytics.

[PointWarrior]

It doesn't mean anything though and they're a ton of variables.  There's no doubt we haven't played well, but they have one quad 1 win, MU.  It's about who you beat, not which teams are "playing better" based on whatever analytics. 

I'd rather have a team playing well now than on December.  Xavier is playing well now.

[tower912]

Should do well in the NIT.

And to be fair so is MU, outside of that Nova game. I can understand the wait and see approach though, given the struggles against the top of the league.

You MoFo's need Jesus.

Gospel reading today was the first part of the signature.  Homily was about working on what is bad in your heart and focusing on virtuous habits.   I will endeavor to do so.  I will endeavor to stop only seeing the splinter in another's eye, while ignoring the plank in my own.   Thanks for the reminder.

Right - and I responded saying "let's cool the jets on the playing well" talk. I don't think our performance over the last 4 games merits that. Beating UCONN on the road and SJU would make a statement.

If what I write bothers you (or you don't like the polls) feel free to put me on ignore - I won't lose any sleep over it. Or if making snarky comments is your jam, feel free to keep at - you do you.

We're playing well.

Have not beat a team with a pulse since Jan 3...

Premature ejaculation happens to a lot of people Willie. Not just you and Rick.

You are forgetting a few things arent you slick rick slimer? Like his infidelity, his screwing around with an assistants wife, his cheating at Louisville and Kentucky. Your kind of guy, right ace?

So you'd rather be playing well and off to the NIT or 👑, than playing poorly and going to the NCAA tournament?

I did not accuse you of those things Willie. I do not have the emotional bandwidth for your guilty conscience

Since UConn rejoined the BE, Marquette is 0 - 4 against the Huskies in Storrs.  UConn's average margin of victory in those games is 17 points.  Ouch!

I'm worried.

One of those supposedly pulse-less teams recently beat UConn and just gave St. Juggernaut all they could handle. Musta found a temporary pulse before and after we beat them by 638 points.

Yeah, the only cheater and liar you'll support for an important position is ... oh ... never mind.

The "we beat 7-22, 1-13 in their last 14, 194 Kenpom, 203 t-rank, Seton Hall by 24 points so we're playing well!" argument is an interesting hill to die on.

So you think Seton Hall had no pulse vs UConn and St. John's?

Simply stated, we're playing well. You denying it is an interesting hill to die on.

I think describing a team that's 1-13 in their last 14 and has won 2 games since December 6th (and is 217th in t-rank) as having a "pulse" is pretty interesting. I mean it's certainly better than we beat them by 24 than lost to them by 24 (or 683 points or 1000 points or whatever other hyperbole you've used), but I'll stop short of declaring that win as contributing towards evidence we are "playing well." Not when we lost to a non-NCAAT team 3 days later by 15 points (or 683 or 1000). Had we beat Nova by 15 I'd be much more on board with your thesis - as it stands - I think it is still a question mark.

Let's win the next 2 and be in complete agreement that we're playing well. Winning solves everything.

Criticisms against the team containing hyperbole get responded to with praise for the team containing hyperbole.  Such is the way of the internet.

[DoctorV]

I can't get over how much scoop loves using hyperbole

[The Sultan]

We had people freaking out that a 28 point lead was cut to 12, even though our win probability never dropped below 97%. This place is less chill than an anxious squirrel who snorts cocaine.

Anyway, we are at the point of the season where its useless to project success or failure based on how the team looks. They just need to win the games in front of them. If it happens...great! No one should care how bad they look doing it. If they don't...well that sucks.

It all goes back to the Crean years.   Scoop is now the hyperbolic chamber.

There's more hyperbole on this site than any other on the internet and I don't think it's particularly close.

I think this would be a good topic to start your 1,683rd poll of the season on.

 sinh x = (ex - e-x)/2.
cosh x = (ex + e-x)/2.
tanh x = (ex - e-x)/(ex + e-x)
