Ohio State wins.....Dontae Scott blocked on the tying layup and then Maryland just stands rather than fouling as the Buckeyes get a runout at the buzzer.

Keep on winning, Buckeyes.

Tough, tough guard.   Plays hard 

And even with a down shooting year it can't be emphasized enough how good he is.  He does all.the.little.things -- gets to the line, plays great defense, and never turns the ball over.  Now has 101 assists to 24 turnovers.

Blowing out Baylor on a neutral court is by far their biggest win.  They are very lucky they scheduled ISU on a buy game and that win right now is a top 22 win.  SOS top 15 

Luckily for them, the NET hands out a ton of moral victories. Which is why their net ranking is so high.

Isn't a rating system yet that puts a real penalty on actually losing.

Sparty is 16 in Kenpom.

The bottom of the Big Ten sucks. Like REALLY sucks. And the powers that be are just laughing as they cash their checks. It isn't like they actually watch any of the games.

Nebraska beating Michigan just before the half…

43-16.

Yikes Juwan. Yikes

Which is still incredibly flawed. Because it still just takes into account the rest of flawed system used. Eventually, something else will be created. Maybe. I think the NCAA likes the NET because they don't have to explain and give out the formula(because I fully believe they rig the absolute hell out of everything they do).

Also KPI

Sparty is 43 in KPI and 55 in SOR which both are results based

Do Indiana and Nebraska basically share the same alternate jerseys?

43-55 seems a bit more accurate for them.

Washington st gets a win at Oregon or so I’m told it was on the PAC 12 network so who knows if anyone saw it.   Washington St has put themselves in position to get an at large

My WAR system does -- the only efficiency rating used is to gauge the value of a team's opponent.  The margin of victory will not effect a team and all losses result in a drop in war and all wins result in an increase in WAR.  Win values range from +.03 to +.97;  loss values range from -.05 to -.95.

About like a blade of grass falling in the yard. No one actually knows.

Where is Michigan State in your rankings?

Results based systems.   Sparty isn’t the only team that has a big gap in the predictives and results based numbers.   Those teams are always hard to seed
