There's a scenario where Duke and UNC keep winning and the ACC comes down to a rematch in Chapel Hill.

Pretty sure I would die from the tension there.

Am I incredibly high right now or does Pitt somehow get in the tourney if they win out?

Wish we didn't have a 7 game stretch where we completely gave up.

Maryland centers with 11 fouls with 8 mins left (31 FT attempts). Wisky made it to the double bonus with 11 mins left. This is insane.

Refs absolutely ruined that game. Just atrocious all around. Called every little touch foul and turned the game incredibly choppy.

This is a bad wisconsin team. Cannot imagine they do much in the tourny.

This is my least favorite Pitt team ever. Giving up on the season probably will cost them the tourney. Good riddance to this group. Coach sucks but that's no reason to be a bunch of babies. Hopefully some mid major kids that actually care get in over us. So much hate in my soul. Can't ever remember disliking one of my teams in any sport, let alone this much.

Question for fans of non Syracuse teams. How often does your coach take some blame for a loss in his press conference?

GT needs to win out and a good conference tourney run or they won't make it. They're one of the most home-road bipolar teams out there. On the other hand, absolutely no one wants to draw them in a tourney.

that is not true. they could go 3-3 and have a chance since the bubble is terrible. clemson is still on it and they have 4 conference wins. lunardi has a bunch of random 6-8 big 12 teams not even in the playin games. no one on the bubble has multiple big road wins

basically matters if you value big wins over a lack of bad losses

Selection Committee already admits they use RPI on the NCAA website. Think they said they want to use other metrics next year(they even had a meeting about possibly integrating other metrics), but are still using RPI for this seasons bracket.

When they released the top 16 seeds, it showed their hand as really favoring RPI imo having Florida and Butler as 4s over Purdue/Wisconsin who has worse RPI ratings. Makes me think a team like Michigan State, who probably isnt even a tourbament caliber team, will get in comfortably at 42nd in RPI and teams like Syracuse(86th) and Ga tech(76) may actually get left out. But who knows.

Several independent elements are combined to produce the RPI. These elements are a part of the statistical information that may or may not be utilized by each member in any manner they choose.

The RPI is one of many resources/tools available to the committee in the selection, seeding and bracketing process. Computer models cannot accurately evaluate qualitative factors such as games missed by key players or coaches, travel difficulties, the emotional effects of specific games, etc.
Beginning each December, the NCAA will release the official RPI on a daily basis.

Each committee member independently evaluates a vast amount of information during the process to make individual decisions. It is these qualitative, quantitative and subjective opinions -- developed after hours of personal observations, discussion with coaches, directors of athletics and commissioners, and review and comparison of various data -- that each individual ultimately will determine their vote on all issues related to selections, seeding and bracketing.
The individual components (i.e., win-loss record, opponents' record, opponent opponents' record, where the game is played) of the RPI in and of themselves, are important in the evaluation process.

I would have thought a terrible road record would outweigh three big wins at home (I'm not saying it necessarily should). How does GT's RPI change if you pretend they never lost by 50+ to Duke?

RPI doesnt factor in margin so it would not change at all. if you just pretend the game never happened then not much since I doubt a loss @ duke causes any real harm in computer rankings

sure their road record is terrible but so is everyone elses on the bubble. looking at lunardi's other last four in, TCU and seton hall only have one top 100 road win too (and VCU is better than both of theirs). syracuse and usc have one top 100 road win and arent even in the play-in games.

Virginias offense is so ugly. 21 points thru the first 24 minutes.

Uva offense in complete shambles. We've had a flawed but reasonably efficient offense most of the year but it's come off the rails these last 4 or 5. I think it basically has to spring back toward normal at some point, but it's hard to envision how during games like this.

Who cares if they're frustrated for one year, guy is a legit great coach and had a few Great seasons. They're struggling a little this year but still a top 25ish team.

at least speaking for myself, no. while we're not an offensively focused team and the media likes to mention that a lot, these last 3 years having gill and tobey inside and brogdon to drive and score inside/get fouled, our offense has been as good as anyones. i think this is just a personnel issue, 99% caused by the loss of nichols, that we'll need to work through.

a couple weeks ago we're losing by 2 to villanova at their house, i don't think we're unable to compete with good teams or anything. we're just struggling right now. people were talking about whether duke would make the tourney a month ago. it happens.

I have a lot of friends who are UVA fans so it's interesting to hear some of them really get on him at this point of the year. Nichols should certainly earn him a bit of slack, although the offensive creativity does seem to be lacking in moments. One thing is for sure, Salt ****ing blows
