Creighton @ SHU - ESPN - SHU 33.2% Chance of Winning

[bigraym]

Bahh! No f*cking chance, what exactly are they using to come up with this metric/measure?

Typical ESPN bullsh*t.

 

[SHUsez]

Just keep winning... Clearly we haven't done enough yet *sarcasm* to get the attention we deserve. Just keep praying Richmond is ok.

Lol. Still amazed at how some fans have NO IDEA how analytics and predictive metrics work. Too funny.

Go Hall!

Good. We play better with a chip on our shoulder.

Maybe we have a better chance against Clemson.

 

[Pirate Russ]

The reality is the 33% was probably better than our chances against UCONN, Marquette and maybe St John's. The good news is these metrics don't take toughness into consideration. Go Pirates!

 

[ShoreGold]

Take this disrespect and motivate the team!!

 

[LBP43]

Just like St Johns , this will change by Sat Morning--altho Hall will be most likely Dawg

 

[Turiddu]

I watched the Creighton -Connecticut game. If they play as soft as they did in that game the Hall will win. If we keep them off the three line the results will be positive.

They use BPI metrics

Which is that they are calculated by hand, not with a goal of most making the most accurate prediction but instead to anger Seton Hall fans. Right?

why they always disrespect us?

Thank God we have great players and a fantastic coach who don’t give a rats ass about metrics!!

They use BPI metrics

here are the BPI metrics.......

2024-25 Men's College Basketball Power Index - ESPN

View the 2024-25 Men's College Basketball power index on ESPN. The BPI is the best predictor of a team's performance going forward for the rest of the season.

www.espn.com

SHU is 63rd highest overall BPI index. A ton of stats and metrics go into that number.
Creighton has a higher BPI index than UConn.... plus,
Nova, ST John's, Marquette, Xavier, Providence all higher than SHU

You'd have to know the inner workings of this process to figure out what it really means. You would have to know how each metric is measured and relative weight it carries vs other metrics.

I hope we're underdogs in every game this year!Play harder!

That means we’ve moved up one spot from our 9th place preseason prediction. That’s good news!

Or he could simply be suggesting that their model is flawed, as every predictive model is to some extent. For example, if ESPN's matchup predictions really are from BPI, the major flaws for predicting a the result of a single game are the over weighting of full body of work and under weighting (if not complete ignorance) of recent form.

All of that may be true, it's also true that we're all (mostly) fans here and thus biased towards our team.

We believe the system is biased against us and forget all of those poorly played games in November and December (which do count).

The reality, of course, is probably somewhere in the middle.

 

[Hall84]

I always disliked the metric system!

I saw a friend post that 280 eastbound had heavy delays earlier. Keep this in mind if you’re taking 280 to The Rock
