lol at Purdue getting ready to lose to Iowa at home. White running down the floor without dribbling and no traveling call. Disgraceful.

 

You got that one back with Johnson's bobbled no-call.

Damn, gave that one away with awful turnovers and terrible rebounding in the 2nd half. Purdue got 40% of their misses. We were shooting 73% from the line on the year, they were shooting 61%. Tonight they shoot 71% and we shoot 63%.

Hey Gatens. Nice foul you [expletive].

 

The one on Smith? Are you suggesting that was hard or something? I suggest re-watching it.

 

I've already been kicked off the tv in favor of chick tv. It looked hard at full game speed. It was certainly pointless given the time left and score.

 

Before the season I thought Basabe was your best player but it's Marble hands down. He's going to be a beast the next two years.

um...

 

“Royce White is a player of the year candidate in the country for what he does,” Ford said. “Watching Iowa State — by March, they can be a Final Four team, that’s how good and talented they are.”

 

sarcasm?

 

Are they even a tourny team?

 

no. though i guess if they finish 5th in the conference they could get in solely based on that.

 

lunardi has isu as one of the first four out and he has texas (who isu beat) in as a 10 seed.

Oh thank God. Green misses a wide open look at a 5 foot jumper and then misses the tip off the front win as the clock expires. Michigan collects another NCAA quality win.

 

What were the others?

Memphis (RPI: 28) on a neutral court, Minnesota (38), Northwestern (25), Wisconsin (46), and now Michigan State (6). Also since they were talked about above, the great Iowa State (51).

 

RPI is stupid but the selection committee thinks its important.

No they really don't.

Everything they get is based on RPI, like record vs top 50, record vs top 100, bad losses, it's all based off a team's RPI. The committee uses it a lot more than they should, since it's the only statistical basis they actually use aside from road/neutral record.

I thought it was an open secret that they'd moved on to more advanced statistical models.

No, their software is still all run off RPI, at least as of last March. They may not look at a team's RPI specifically, but all the results are based off opponent RPI (I think they also still look at RPI). If anything, instead of overusing RPI they're just being completely subjective (see: VCU, UTEP, Utah State) and putting in teams they think should get a chance just because.

They just made this public. It's supposedly the actual data and team reports that the committee uses and yes it's based on RPI.

Those are really not that "quality" of wins at all. Memphis sorta sucks, Minnesota does suck, NW is OK, WIsky is meh especially on the road. MSU is a good but somewhat expected win.

Read.

Is it still ok for me to know that it's based on current status and not end of year and still think it's funny Illinois is a 2 seed and Big Ten champ?
