Bubble Watch

Baldi if you don't think that beating 3 other tourney teams 5 out of 7 times means anything, than you must think 3/4 of the field doesn't belong or is on the bubble.

If UConn wins their tourny, what seed do they get?

No idea. Don't know what their overall numbers look like, except that on balance the conference is not good and has a low RPI I believe.

So now it doesn't matter how you play in the conference tourny, it only matters regular season? Which is it?

It's both, Baldi. Body of work.

Of course. Why Providence was an 11 last year despite running the table in the conf tourney. League was weaker overall as was their resume.

I would assume similar to Providence's 11 seed last year.

Also Xavier was in before they made their run to the BET Finals.

That's a good point. The BE had a strong showing in the pre season this year. Last year, they didn't.

The conference is viewed in a much, much better light this year.  And that is showing in how the various teams are being projected.  Last year 21  might not have gotten us in (or we would have been one of the last 4).  The Lunardi's of the world said we were lock city once we beat Gtown two Saturday's ago, forget about adding the extra win with Marquette.  Those who are questioning this are either being paranoid because of the last two showings (understandable) or simply stirring the pot to get reactions (which I don't, and never will, understand). 

Stiring the pot is way to nice. He is intentionally trying to annoy people.

If UConn wins their tourny, what seed do they get?

Probably a 12. If they win the conf tournament they wind up with an RPI in the low 60s with a SOS in the 50s. That's likely a worse resume than the first four out.

VCU wins the A10 tomorrow, any guesses on their seed?

I'm thinking 12/13ish

VCU wins the A10 tomorrow, any guesses on their seed?

6ish?  computer numbers are great, so possibly a 5?  Just as easily a 7.  The more I think about these things the more I'm leaning towards answering everything with either "I don't know" or "Somewhere between 1 and 16." 

What happens if X beatsNova tonite?  Are we still in?

We beat X-men twice. Moves us up to a 6 seed. Call it a reverse Baldi.

So now it doesn't matter how you play in the conference tourny, it only matters regular season? Which is it?

I heard the a guy on the committee say a conference tourny game figures in the same as a regular season game. Only difference is Providence would be a BE neutral court loss.  We went 10-9 in conference. They just lump all games together and look at whatever it is they call bad loses , top 50 wins, top 100 loses and make whatever mess of it they want. Yes we finished up with 2 loses but also went 7-4 or 3-2 down the stretch which kinda takes the stink off. We had a bunch of top 50 wins, and I can only think of 2 bad loses and 3 if you wanna count the Hall, all on the road. Butler maybe the worst home loss. I might have messed something up, but I don't think record looks to bad.   

VCU wins the A10 tomorrow, any guesses on their seed?

I'd give them a 10 seed.

Wyoming beats San Diego State and just like that the bubble shrinks...

I hate Uconn
