I don't disagree with you. Although I went to Chicago last year, and it was unbelievably cold. I did get out to a few good restaurants though.

Fair warning, I'm going to be sarcastic, then serious. Yes, but the Vermont game would have given us a chance to improve that OH-SO-IMPORTANT "offensive efficiency" metric. But seriously, does the "Quad ranking" change if a team ends up winning its conference and getting an automatic bid to...

Latest Bracketology. I'd take this. And then root for the Tuscaloosa cops and prosecutors to actually do their jobs. I'd still prefer a 2-seed or a 3-seed, even if I have to travel farther.

Dude, at both halftime, and as that game was winding down with about 10 minutes to go, I'm doing the math and thinking "at this rate, UVa is going to finish with 48 points". UVa finished with 48 points.

But but but...metrics...margin of victory...offensive efficiency...good losses...quad bull****...

🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏

Told you, ****ers. Wins matter. Only way this night could have gone any better: 1. Marquette loses 2. Pitt loses 3. Miami scores 80 **** Kenpom and **** NET.

And this is where I say... **** VaTech. It's not about their home court, they are about to be knocked out of contention for any sort of NCAA slot. This is about MIAMI going out and proving that it can win challenging games in adversarial arenas. We will have to do the same in Greensboro and...

I don't even think they can catch UNC for the 9-seed in the ACC Tournament.

Let's look at 4 more teams with FEWER wins and MORE losses than Miami... Texas - 21-6 (10-4 conference) - lost by 7 to Texas Tech, one of the worst schools in the Big 12, with double-digit losses to K-State, Iowa State, and Tennessee. Baylor - 20-7 (9-5 conference) - lost by 7 to a UVa team...

You make great points. I would add on something very simple. "Winning by a big margin" sounds great in theory, particularly early in the season. But it's garbage, and here's why. In this era of "one-and-dones" and the Portal, the concept that a team just rolls the ball out in November and...

This is what is bull****. I could understand the downgrade of "polls", but WINNING GAMES should count. "Overall record" and "conference standings" and "HTH" should not be disregarded. We have lost our 4 conference games by 6, 3, 2, and 2. We are 17 points from being 26-1 (and 27-1 if the...

This is why proper rankings matter all year long. Perception becomes reality. Sitting around talking about how "this won't matter until March" is for puzzies. The NCAA has us at 18, while we are 13/15 in the polls. Which means we got jumped by MULTIPLE teams. Meanwhile, there's one ranked...

Not scared. We just won in NC and SC, now it's time to notch a win in VA.

AND the regular season...next three are all winnable (2 at home), setting us up for a Pitt "winner-take-all" game. At home. Where we are undefeated this year.

If it's a play-in 12 seed, I'm OK with that.

Yes, but until the end of the season, all the "human-bias" stuff is involved.

I'm down for a 4 seed in Orlando. I'll be there.

Next 3 weeks... Purdue - FAMU, Rutgers, Ohio Taint, Ped State, Nebraska, Michigan State, Minnesota (the bottom half of the Big 10) - UNLIKELY TO LOSE UConn - Villanova, RANKED Xavier, Providence, Creighton, Marquette, St. Johns, Seton Hall - ONE TOUGH GAME Houston - Tulsa, UCF, SMU, Cincy, USF...
