3/8 BACATOLOGY: NCAA TOURNAMENT ANALYSIS
- Thread starter bac2therac
- Start date
they will need to win 2 more times, if they reach the ACC finals they are going to dance
Providence slinking out into the night after losing to De Paul
UNC wallops Notre Dame by 40 plus and should get a nice NET bump

UNC is not a team I’d want to play in tourney especially for a high seed team. Providence is awful. Entire Big East except for Nova; Creighton and UConn is an awful conference.
I will talk about all of this in the language of rating systems because it makes the ideas clearer and even though there is no explicit numerical rating calculated by the selection committee there is an implicit "rating" formed from their criteria.
A fundamental property of any decent rating system is that if teams A and B play each other with team A entering the game with a rating of x and team B entering the game with a rating of y, then the sum of the two teams ratings after the game will still be x + y, i.e. the gain for the winner = the loss for the loser.
This allows you, if you are so inclined, to weight some games higher. So while I don't personally want to rate OOC games higher, you could do so without making your rating system fundamentally flawed. Ditto neutral-site games since they are by definition neutral for both teams.
What you cannot do, however, is give a bonus for road wins without a corresponding penalty for home losses. If you do that, you get the perverse outcome where two teams can boost both of their ratings by losing to each other at home. This should absolutely not be possible.
You will run into similar problems when giving bonuses for "quality wins".
hopefully FSU takes care of business today and knocks dook out for good. I think they need 2 more wins to make it. And 2 tough games FSU and winner of Carolina/VTech
Agreed, but i would never count that Vampire out until the stake is through the heart
I hate Duke so much that this pleases me. I am such a rotten person.
Hahahaha just told my father and he said “Coach K must have hurt his back again. Convenient.”
Game is off per Goodman...don't know if its positive from in program or contact trace
actually per chronicle, it was a player. Hopefully it is a false positive. https://www.dukechronicle.com/artic...on-over-positive-covid-19-test-acc-tournament
Kansas reported some positives too.
I honestly wish we were quarantining until the NCAAs.

No. Assuming they are regularly tested I'd think you only have to worry about the teams they already beat in the ACC tournament.
48 hours before symptoms. Nothing to see here.
Unfortunately I have become an expert on such matters. Somehow my 2 kids have escaped 4 close contact quarantines. We are in quarantine #5 and pending a 1145AM test to allow for exit on Sunday.
just give them the rapid test, if no one tests positive, send them out to play
has anyone asked if any of those who have had covid pauses this year actually had anyone really sick or even with symptoms...like as any player even had the sniffles, they never tell us that

I don't think they should shut down an entire team for one positive test... How did Purdue manage to keep playing when Stefanovic tested positive?
Fair but Stefanovic 100% tested positive, and Purdue just went ahead and played the three scheduled games without him. Was he just not practicing with the team in the days leading up to his positive test?
Yes they should. The entire team could be positive, showing symptoms and very contagious shortly. It isn't fair for the actions of one player to take down opponents.
