Right and no tournament winner from a major conference will ever wind up in Dayton.

Coach K should be ashamed of himself with this team of 5 stars
ND resume weak. RU far better wins. BAC should know better. They get in its for ratings, not because more deserving than RU.
Watching UCLA and Arizona. Myles looks like he put on around 15-20 lbs in his mid section. Not nearly as active as he was with us.
He plays, but he's an afterthought. Basically a rebounder pick setter. They don't run anything for him or through him.
He’s just at UCLA for the education and the ladies. He knew his basketball career was over once he switched.
I think of A£M and V Tech win their tourneys they will move ahead of RU and put us in the play in game. Otherwise we would get a bye..think same happens to ND. We SHOULD be ahead if Indiana but their tourney run may have helped them some—to me it shouldn’t
Man if Pike had some of the talent some of these other schools have and could get them to buy into his system he'd win a national championship.
Hopefully in the next four years he recruits those types of players. Only time will tell brotha
Let's hope. College sports are so dirty now, I just don't see how we can compete.
These top schools all have at least a few genetic freaks. We have Cliff.
They were a missed 3 away from being knocked out by Clemson. Now 10 minutes from winning the whole thing. Weird things happen in March
FUN FACT: Joe Lunardi according to Bracket Matrix is ranked (55) as bracketologists which means he’s not even close to being the best.
Virginia Tech has so far taken it to Duke all night. Duke should be embarrassed with all of their high school All Americans.
They need to get rid of that coach
I think that was a lightening in a bottle. And they had some solid talent then.
Even so, the landscape has changed dramatically in this short time. Not saying it can't be done but the teams that can play the NIL game are going to have serious advantages.
Naturally I meant a really really big garbage can. Like for an oversized Oscar the Grouch.
Do I really need to root for Duke? I'm not sure this is possible.
Cmon Fluox. You seem to be too good of a quants guy to post something like that.
Sure computers can analyze a huge data set more efficiently than humans ever could. But that analysis is only as good as the algorithms selected, and the algorithms are only as good as the assumptions built into them.
The "old guys" might have the experience and expertise to understand the limitations of the algorithms and assumptions.
It would be nice if the NCAA (and other ranking services like KenPom or Sagarin) published the calculations that they used. That would allow others to critique the algorithms, similar to a peer review in scientific journals, and help clarify the limitations of the rankings. Maybe we then get a better NET, or maybe we get the same NET while understanding the limitations.
It seems the Selection Committee has already concluded that the NET has limitations at the fringes (or at least one fringe), because they didn't put Houston in their top 16 despite a top 5 NET.
That isn't evidence that the world has passed them by. It is evidence that they have the experience to recognize that the NET is limited by the algorithm and assumptions built into it.
Duke is a bunch of athletes… no defense anywhere. It’s like watching an NBA squad
Va Tech will be an 11 seed at worse. No way the ACC champ has to play in Dayton.
Duke effort or lack thereof is crazy. Makes me appreciate our team that much more
No defense
No rebounding
No passing
No hustle
No 50-50 balls
They are not playing to win.
Typical ACC tourney result
