I want to see Roberts put a spin move and dunk on Edey. After that, Edey drops a round in the draft and Roberts gets drafted.

Holdup….
Are we sure we want that? To move up?
I mean, then we’d only be a spot away from #1….and
I know several of you don’t “want a target on our back”
We don’t want that number one seed either….”it’s better to be a #3 or #4 that way no one is looking at us”
I’m trying to remember some of the other dumb crap we’ve heard the last couple of years.

We have the better losses. They have the better wins.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. We win tomorrow and we’re looking down the barrel of a 3-2 finish. 4-1 is certainly possibly but if we do drop one at Baylor and OU/UCF, then we’re looking at a quad 1 record of 11-5 possibly 12-4. That is ripe for a one seed regardless of the two more losses.

True but have the better NET ranking. Advantage UH.
Just depends on what you value. There’s really no material difference between 2nd and 3rd. We’ll go to the South and they’ll go to the Midwest if we’re both one seeds, regardless of who’s 2 and who’s 3. As a result it’s likely that we’d only play Purdue if we both make the finals. We just need to tcob against the Cyclones tomorrow. Do that and the rest will work itself out.

I’m just talking about who should be ranked #2 tomorrow. I don’t care if we are 2 or 3.
Wasn’t it AT Purdue?
No.
Ah. I’m thinking of the SC game. The gamecocks lost at home.
It’ll be close either way. Purdue should certainly lose at least 16 points in the polls because no one’s going to give them a 1st place vote tomorrow lol

The Reddit user poll has us #2 so there you go. The masses have spoken!

Also of note, Purdue didn’t drop a single spot in the NET yet Ohio St. moves up 8 spots to 64. That’s how the NET stacks the deck in favor of the major conferences. I guess I’m glad we’re on the right end of it but still frustrating.

I think Q1 away game losses should be measured in segments. Like I’m okay with 1-75 being considered Q1 for road games, but shouldn’t we have a second level of measurement in the quadrant if the team was ranked 72nd vs say 4th?

I wouldn’t add a category but they could change the weightings or something in the model. It would make sense to do it too.
the team sheets that the committee uses looks something like this so they do bracket apart the top 2 quadrants

I’d add a fifth category. I think the groupings in the quadrant system are way too big.
@Tyler_Perry Lol that’s the joke, y’all.
