Wake lost to Va tech and Virginia getting blown out
Bubble Watch
- Thread starter hnkcolumbia
- Start date
Also up to 21 on BartTorvik. Metrically we should be anywhere from a 6-8 seed. Say we get in at a 10 or 11 seed, then we still might be the favorite
Win and we are in. Win a game in BET vs SHU and we are a 9 seed at worst, I think. Our resume is far stronger than we get credit for because we have the best finish by far of any bubble team. And a lot of bubble teams are going take an L.
On KenPom we are evenly split on O and D. That is a formula for an upset run from a low seed, as we will not be overmatched either way. We have a better shot than a team like Alabama, who is ripe for a first round upset.
I love Marley. We do one week in the Caribbean every year and his music while hybrid reggae with Jamaican roots resonates powerfully and speaks to life in all of the Caribbean. I'm no music buff but I'd be pretty sure he influenced many crossover artists who embraced the rhythms and steel drums that Marley brought to mainstream music.I didn't particularly care for the movie. Something was lacking there, and there wasn't anything mentioned that wasn't previously known.
Check out the documentary on Marley, which is simply titled "Marley." It came out in 2012. It's really good and covers a lot regarding the life of Bob Marley.
Now back to the title of the thread.
I always have mixed feelings about our visits to the Caribbean where privileged classes of people are served mostly by much poorer populations that don't experience the paradise that wealthier visitors do.
My msin damned point is I stream a bunch of services but anything about Marley seems to be a rental!!
The ACC got some fraudulent teams. We can pick thru the metrics all day long but that Virginia team is not good
Get em outta here!
I'd love nothing more than the ACC getting only three teams in
Beast, all I can tell you is that I met my wife through work where I had very close Trinidadian & Jamaican friends and they would go through the roof at Bob Marley being called hybrid reggae. As he became popular he introduced other influences to his music but he was Reggae all the way. I suspect what you hear in your Caribbean visits is watered down Marley. Steel drums is Trinidadian music and was not part of Bob's music at all.
Anyway, don't want to hijack another thread but calling Marley hybrid reggae is kind of like calling Joan Baez hybrid folk.
Yield to your expertise. Thanks for taking the time to explain

During yesterday's broadcast of butler at depaul, they did one of those blind "who would you pick" based on records, etc. It was butler and Seton hall. The announcer actually chose butler's resume. Butler is considered to be out while Seton hall is supposed to be comfortably in.
The matrices can be read and interpreted so many different ways to make your head spin (as another poster noted). Who knows what factors the committee values more highly than other.
I hope rhis year we're not NC state when st john's was picked over it for the first four game in Dayton that we eventually lost to luc dort and Arizona state.

I’m not convinced Pitino being our coach will factor in at all in the selection committee’s decision. To the extent it does, I see it as a net positive. Pitino draws attention (positive and negative) and that’s good for ratings and the tournament.
Some games to watch today:
Seton Hall @ Uconn: a win here for The Hall would shoot their resume to the top of the pile of bubble teams, so let’s go huskies
Rutgers @ Nebraska: Give me a Scarlet Knights win here
Stanford @ Colorado: give me a Stanford win here!
East Carolina @ North Texas: Go North Texas! I’m sure them winning this would hardly reflect in our metrics at all. But can’t hurt

Best chance to get 2 wins in the Big East Tournament will be against DePaul and Creighton, rather than against Seton Hall and Uconn.
