As soon as we do that they'll probably change the way they look at metrics.
VAl just rattle off stats that worked against not only us but the conference . do or say something !!!
Agreed. Anyone who works for a large organization knows how perverse the practical use of data and analytics are. The more data points you have the more they conflict and thus are cherry picked to justify a predetermined outcome.
I get that we are all frustrated. But what I can’t stand are misleading narratives and incorrect facts.
Agree on deep-sixing the RU series, but to your point, this is just another thing that is wrong with the way the game is going. Let's eliminate natural rivalries that the fans attend and scream the loudest, in order to satisfy some criteria to be eligible for the NCAA.
Another misleading incorrect fact. So I will correct you since you’re wrong. .
SHU 5 Quad 1 wins
I said correct me if I'm wrong, nothing misleading. 19 points is only 2 off of 20+.
The VA Tech 35 point win over Virginia and the. Nc state beating them was no issue?
It doesn't work that way
I don’t care if you were only off by 2 points.
metrics are repeatedly stated by the committee themselves to not count towards picking teams. so now what. either you're wrong or theyre liars.
in a way they did. because they went out of their way to justify teams that shouldn't be in. the justification of which works better for seton hall. so yea... im not usually on this side but after a nights sleep i'm even further entrenched in it. im buying real estate in "F the committee, F the ncaa" land.
I agree with this take. I thought even if we made it, then we would need to play a lot more like that December/early January team then the February/March team to advance past the first game.
As I said I think you could have made an argument for MSU / UVA to not be in the dance.
Even if you do mental gymnastics to make a case for MSU, they got what seed? And we are out. I don't doubt that Izzo got the benefit of the doubt like Boeheim used to get. How many 14-loss at large teams got in this year?
What do you think of the Committee discounting our UConn win because Clingan missed part of the 2nd half when he was injured on a play in which he picked up a 3rd foul, and not discounting our 2 losses without our first team All Big East player (which Clingan was not mostly due to injury)?
Geez. The whole purpose of the exercise (and someone else asked for the record) was to see if the MSU case could be defended.
I am ok with their analysis of the Clingan injury to be honest. He was having a great game up until that point. We had no answer for him in the rematch. Yes he was headed to the bench with 3 fouls with them trailing by 6 after the Bediko FTs, but Hurley isn’t leaving him on the bench if the game was getting away from them. I do believe we would have still won, but not in the dominating fashion we did. But there is the argument that the end result could have significantly been in doubt if their star player was still on the floor.
