BACATOLOGY: NCAA ANALYSIS 3/7......NEW UPDATE 3/12 1PM PAGE 37
- Thread starter bac2therac
- Start date
Last four in has to be VTech + Rutgers + Texas A&M + 1 more (Wyoming?). VTech and A&M bumped SMU + Xavier.
When the "science" bases anything on expected outcome vs. actual outcome it is a joke.
Computers are only as good as the program and info put in. Being penalized when you win by six but were expected to win by 12 is ridiculous.
Oh. And "**** you" youngster.
Duke how do you not get up for this … Coach K last ever ACC game, in NYC in the ACC Championship against the 7 seed … all the money dumped into that program, if you’re a bball player you do not want for anything … just pathetic on the court
Acc champ can’t play in Dayton .It’s impossible unless they get matched against a 16 seed, which would never happen.
If VaTech (and A&M) get the auto bid then don't they get to skip Dayton?
Love your last sentence. Some of us youngsters need their ass whooped. You go pops! Haha
Looks like Duke better enjoy this NCAA tourney. May be a long time before they get back.
Va tech can’t go to Dayton if they win tonight
True, they'll swap with ND then who is 11 if they win tonight.
Exactly my thoughts. Dukes time has come with coach K. In the next couple years I hope I never hear the words Duke every time I talk college basketball with someone.
Is Duke trying to lose? I have never seen such lack of effort in a championship game. Either that, or they suck.
I believe they have the top class in the country coming in…not that it mattered for them this year. 4 5-stars and a 4-star.
If we were not on the bubble I would really be enjoying this Duke game.
I decided we're in anyway so I can pretend to enjoy
This game either was thrown or something is really off here.
Any of the B1G quarterfinalists would have beaten this Duke team soundly. Soundly like by twice what they after losing by now.
No effort.
Duke has pissed me off forever with their wins. Now they piss me off with a loss..F them.
Softest, most mentally and physically weak Duke team I can remember. Half the B1G would bully that Duke team into oblivion.
I don't know but Va Tech will have a net in 20s so there could be so justification fo a 9
Nc state was a 6 in 1983 . I looked it up . But remember less teams in the tournament
Thats why you are never safe coming into the last week if you sit on the last 8 line. Teams play their way out...play their way in and others will be pulling their underwears up tight
They were a six seed out west. If VA Tech gets sent west I am picking them all the way.
Your second sentence is a great point, and I certainly would take the committee method over just using the current NET for example. If you were actually going to go that route you would need someone to design a transparent system that gives the right incentives.
I don't know how to unsplit these but yes I agree pretty much 100% with it.
I'm saying a computer algorithm could do a better job. The NET is absolutely not that algorithm, and neither are Bart, Kenpom, or other predictive models. Kenpom is good for what it's for which is predicting which teams will win games going forward, but it's not designed for selecting a tournament field.
:P
Let’s go Davidson and Tennessee
Duke was expected to win by 5 and they lost by 15, that's bad but not really that weird.
You must have missed Dukes team last year :-)
