I think it is a dumb dynamic to consider good losses more important than bad wins. You could have the number 1 strength of schedule, go 18-14 and be ranked ahead of a team who went 21-9 in an equal or better conference. So the 18-14 team plays a tougher non-conference schedule and goes 5-8 but 11-5 in a weak conference and 2-1 in their tourney. So that gives them an advantage over a team that won all 12 non-conference games but played a much tougher conference schedule and went 9-9.

Keep an eye on Ohio st. They're up on Michigan st at half. They've won 4 of 5 vs tourney teams. Winning the big 10 tourney is their only path

Luckily they still need 2 more wins after today

They were probably already in at least. Rutgers probably has a better chance of being left out

Lunardi latest update has us in in, not play in. Hope he's right

As long as there are no upsets, but after today I will be happy with play in game. The fact Jans most likely has this team in the tournament is a miracle and he deserves to be in consideration for coach of the year

I agree. We may be the worst 3 point shooting team to ever make the NCAA tourney. We have to be very close if not.
-
We rightfully spend a lot of time talking about our awful shooting, but kenpom has our defense at 7th best in the country. So as awful as we are shooting 3s, we're that good at defending

We are in big big trouble with Vandy winning. They now have 1 less win than us but they beat us head to head. The committee will pick 1 of us

This is just not how any of it works.

Yeah, that's not happening.
-
I worry about Vandy getting hot because the committee could be unpredictable but history says it doesn't matter. A&M can attest to that.
If they win the tournament it could hurt us if the committee is set on 8 SEC teams.
-
This will be unpopular amongst some here but Vandy deserves to be in the tourney over us. I don't give a shit what the experts or metrics say, Vandy is more deserving than us and one of the hotter teams in the country.

It reminds me of the people that laughed about ND beating Tennessee in the super regional. I knew that would be a disaster because it meant Ole Miss was winning the NC. It’s similar in the fact that this could leave us out. I didn’t care if Tenn was “mean” them losing put Ole Miss as NC. Some people just don’t get it. Hopefully we still make it, but it puts us in a bad position

Vandy has to win it all to make it plain and simple. If they beat Bama to win it all I can?t argue they don?t deserve it over us, we had 3 shots to beat them and looked like ass two of those times

For those still up and interested, I?m almost certain Bill Walton has been drinking as he?s announcing the Arizona vs Arizona State game, dude is just all over the place with his comments. Sounds like he?s on something or drunk, and they are in Vegas. Dude is claiming Washington State belongs in the tourney?.

More like something mind altering with him.

A&M -5 of course needs to beat Vandy 12:00 game
FAU +1.5. needs to beat UAB (night game)
