I don't think we are getting in unless we win the MWC Tourney.

Maybe if we win out and make it to the championship. But we need some help from LSU and Florida

Re: Bracketology
It would be a farce for the PAC12 to get 5 and the Big10 to get 11. PAC12 isn't that strong this year and if you can't be in the top half of your conference, you shouldn't get in.

Re: Bracketology
Lets win the conference tourney so we don't have to find out. It's possible that we might not even play SDSU again.

Re: Bracketology
There are a few major discrepancies between Lunardi and NET. Most glaring is him having Indiana (#62NET) as one of the last four in while having USU (#48) as 2nd in the Next four out. Also having Virginia (#54) and Wichita St (#50) as two of the last four byes in relation to USU.hipsterdoofus21 wrote: ↑February 11th, 2020, 11:12 amI wouldn't put much stock into Joe Lunardi's pandering bracket of wonder.

Re: Bracketology
Can someone explain why BYU is getting so much love? They have the same record as us and we have better wins. They aren’t winning their conference and will probably be third behind St Mary’s and Gonzaga. They lost to St Mary’s, Boise, and SDSU, just like us, yet they are in every bracket? I saw them as high as a 6 seed in one. Are they factoring in Child’s being out the first part of the season?

Re: Bracketology
I hate seeing them ranked so high too. My guess it it comes down to strength of schedule, overall they're at 33 but their out of conference is 10th. To compare that with ours, we're at 100 and 110 respectively. They did lose to St Mary's but they also beat them and they've stacked up a lot of Q2 wins. Our conference isn't doing us any favors either.TrueBlueAggie123 wrote: ↑February 11th, 2020, 12:21 pmCan someone explain why BYU is getting so much love?

Re: Bracketology
I hate to admit it, but there is little doubt byu's resume is stronger than ours. No bad Q3 losses and three more Q2 wins. It would help if UNLV gets their act together and pushes that loss from a Q3 to a Q2.

Actually BYU has 3 Q1 wins. Houston, Saint Mary's, and us. Unless BYU has an epic collapse down the stretch, they will get into the big dance as an at-large bid. They won't need to win the conference tournament.

I think it's pretty simple. If we win out and lose to SDSU in the conference championship I think we're in. If we lose another game before that I think we're out.

Re: Bracketology
Yep that is what I think too. We need SDSU to win out as well and stay undefeated, although that probably wouldn't do too much. It would just be nice to have the argument that we have faced a team that went undefeated that season 3 times! It would help for the top teams we beat to do well in their conferences as well as the teams we lost to, in MW and out of MW to finish strong.Roy McAvoy wrote: ↑February 11th, 2020, 3:10 pmI think it's pretty simple.

Re: Bracketology
Isn't a Q1 win a victory over a top 50 net ranking team? If so, Saint Mary's is currently 39 which would be a Q1 win.

Re: Bracketology
No. The quadrants are different depending on if the game is at home, away or neutral. Q1 is 1-15 at home, 1-25 on a neutral court and 1-40 for road games.Aggiealum13 wrote: ↑February 11th, 2020, 3:25 pmIsn't a Q1 win a victory over a top 50 net ranking team?

Re: Bracketology
You guys are right and the page is actually correct as well. I forgot that the NCAA now breaks the quads up even further than Q1-4. They have Q1A, Q1B,Q2A, and Q2B. The numbers I provided were simply for Q1A.

Re: Bracketology
Agreed. I hate, hate, hate it when (for instance) in the middle of a hotly contested game against BSU someone in chat brings up the effects of a win or a loss on our NET rating! Our NET, SOS bracketology projections and the effects of an LSU or Florida win are all absolutely WORTHLESS unless we win out in our remaining regular season games — starting tonight against CSU. That’s as far ahead as I am looking.ineptimusprime wrote: ↑February 11th, 2020, 1:10 pmI’ll start thinking about brackets again if we win tonight and on Saturday. Until then, nah.

Re: Bracketology
If USU doesn't get the autobid by winning the MWCT, they will not get in the NCAA tournament by way of an at-large bid. They have stumbled too many times and the MW is not a strong enough conference to justify the losses. It's a sad time when the WCC is a three-bid conference and the once-mighty MW is a one-bid. We needed a win over BYU or St Mary's to make up for the AFA/UNLV/BSU losses.

It looks like our best games left that would be Q2 wins are tonight vs Colorado State and @New Mexico. Winning those games will help, but I agree with most that we would have to AT LEAST win out all the way to MWC tournament championship game against SDSU to have a bubble's chance of getting into big dance as an at-large bid. No more slip ups.

Re: Bracketology
I care only a little about this. Just make sure we're on a roll come tourney time and this won't matter.
I wonder if "load management" makes more sense in college ball than the pros given the monumental importance of a three or four day period of the schedule. Would we have a better chance of winning the tourney if Sam/Queta/Bean took 10 days off before the tourney? Maybe yes if any of them is nursing an injury. Bracketology be damned.
