Latest Matrix has us as the 2nd 4 seed.
Neither game last night went our way. Things get much more straightforward after tonight. Lose and a 3 seed is out of the picture. Win and I think it’s going to be really hard to slip below the 4 line.

Teams to root for in bold:
Purdue at Illinois
Alabama at Florida
Auburn at Missouri
Kansas St at Kansas
Syracuse at Clemson

Contra the Kansas discussion below, seems to me Duke is the most passable team on the 3 line

Agree strongly. The Big 12 trio (Baylor, Iowa State, and KU) all seem tough to pass unless

That game vs. Marquette already happened this weekend and Creighton won.

If Kolek is injured and he doesn't come back they could drop to a 4 or 5*

Derp. Yeah, we're not passing them either*

GMAW

Yeah, and like Kansas, they have high end wins we can't match, even if we beat Purdue*

Enjoy it now. They have the 4th best recruiting class in the country coming in next year.*

so how are they so high in Net ranking?

NastyBoyd
March 5, 2024, 11:27:46
I wonder if NET considers pace of play? Is 85-70 just as good as 55-40? *

It does, the efficiency ratings used are all adjusted to a per possession basis *

They only have 1 other loss which is quad 2 and they blow everyone else out
-
CanHartlebHireSnider
March 5, 2024, 11:33:07
Their average NET ranking loss is 15. I'm guessing that is the highest in the country*
-
CanHartlebHireSnider
March 5, 2024, 11:35:45
so very few good wins, but only good losses*

After stressing way too much all year, I have almost no emotion going into this game.

Well said and I agree. I really want a S16 this year so my thoughts are focused on that path.

Same, but I hate watching Edey so approaching with caution tonight.*

Wisconsin-Purdue is 1130, our game vs Iowa is 6pm

Yeah. If it was at Kohl or Wisconsin was playing better, I’d be more nervous for this game

Kansas St winning could make the Kansas's 3 seed very tenable *
-
JacobRDaugherty
March 5, 2024, 8:39:11
I don't see it. They have wins over Houston, UConn, and Tennessee*
-
GMAW
March 5, 2024, 9:24:58
no matter how many good wins you have, you can't keep losing*

I think the committee definitely weighs good wins more than losses
-
CanHartlebHireSnider
March 5, 2024, 10:26:22
and then lose at Houston over the weekend*
-

March 5, 2024, 10:30:19
20-10 Kansas v. 24-7 Illinois for the final 3 seed would be interesting (edit)
-
GMAW
March 5, 2024, 10:36:12
Our rankings would definitely go up and KUs down*
-
bucktownillini
March 5, 2024, 13:15:44
Sure, but I don't think it's likely to be enough. We'll have one GREAT win and they'll have three*

It’s funny, all the takeaways from our exhibition game versus them ended up being spot on
-
OB25
March 5, 2024, 11:14:24
I agree. I think their 3 elite wins matter more*

March 5, 2024, 10:53:34
Head to head win would be the difference
