Some winnable games left in this challenge. I was hoping for 6 wins and had these 2 down as losses.

Uconn matches up well with Baylor. SH beat FAU who beat Oklahoma State.

Let’s make a stand.

Although this generally makes sense, you will need a third bucket for a team like Seton Hall since a loss to them wouldn't be a magnitude more devastating than a loss to Nova. I fully expect their NET to not go much higher than where it is right now. DePaul/Butler/Providence (IF Hopkins is healthy) can all end up in a better place a few months from now, but also very much not.

I don’t think Seton Hall is THAT bad. I know the metrics are absolutely crazy early but there is no way they are as bad as the metrics say and can really move up with some wins in December.

If Hopkins stays healthy, and Providence wins at a decent clip, then the NCAA Tournament committee might overlook that Bahams trip.

They might not need metric rankings as high as other bubble teams.

PC fans are essentially a Trading Places version of Nova fans

No Karaban will be tough for Uconn. They are home dogs tonight. Hurley will have to coach a masterpiece to pull this one out.

Creighton's Ryan Kalkbrenner is a game-time decision for tonight

Guess we will see but I heard both Kalkbrenner and Ashworth are likely to play today. Would be great news if it happens

Mountain West is now better than the ACC in basketball and football !

Providence fans outdid themselves once again last night. They are a special lot indeed.

You are what the metrics say you are.
