So it would be better for the league to just give us the Quad 1 win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team’s individual Kenpom number is what they’ll be looking at. Ahh damn. I completely read that wrong when I first looked at the article. I thought they would do quadrants with all of the metrics. Reading is fundamental Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see how messy having the 4 quadrant records for 6 different metrics could get. Though, it’d be nice if they were able to find a way to incorporate multiple ratings in the quadrant records. Say all results-based metrics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pine Bluff at Fresno State - Fresno wins. Good time to get bench involved Saturday December 16th Oregon at Fresno State - Fresno can win this game, need a good overall effort and a good home crowd would help. A win the MWC can use #23 Arizona at New Mexico - Arizona crushes the UNM. Moral win for a program going nowhere if Lobos can keep it within 12 points. Would be massive win Life Pacific at Utah State - A game MWC teams shouldn't even schedule this late in the non-conference. Should amout to nothing more than a live scrimmage, For god's sake DO NOT LOSE UNLV at Pacific - Minor road test that UNLV should pass. Loss here would be bad, really bad. Texas Southern at Wyoming - Pokes get another home win over low end program. Another place where a loss hurts the MWC Sunday December 17th Air Force vs Army at Madison Square Garden - Neutral court game which AF could win and would help a bit in what has been a weak non-conference schedule Texas State at Colorado State - A game CSU should win & Rams have advantage of this being TSU's back half of a front range double dip. CSU needs a win here Radford at Nevada - Nothing to really gain here. Scrimmage type of game. Watch out for injuries and Muss needs to let his bench play. For God's sake DO NOT LOSE South Dakota at San Jose State - Wins will be hard to come by for Spartans and this might be one of the better chances to get a W. Nothing is a given for SJS. Keep fingers crossed for the overall MWC's RPI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLCPoke Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 1 hour ago, kingpotato said: I really don't understand why the rpi likes Wyoming so much. You look at who they have played and their results and it makes no sense. They just beat a very average Pacific (and that's being generous) at home and jumped up 24 spots. It's loved them all year and I'm not sure why. I haven’t seen a ranking that has us lower than like high 50s in weeks unless I missed something. I’m fairly certain that we didn’t just jump 24 spots?

Rpiforecast makes breaking down the quadrants tougher for a current snapshot because on the team’s schedule they list the projected final RPI of their opponents. We’re all sitting in the dugout.

If BSU finishes in the top-30 we are definitely getting an at-large bid if we don't win the conference tourney and wouldn't have to play in the First Four again either.

RedheadRebel Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 I just saw the Atlantic 10 has a losing record as well. Might bode well if we're in a bid war with the other mid-major conferences come March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
