Uspshoosier Posted March 5, 2018 Posted March 5, 2018 I know rankings aren't everything but ESPN has Michigan State as a 3 seed and they are ranked 4th. They also have Kansas as a 1 seed. I don't understand that at all. Michigan st is 3-4 in Quad 1 wins with a SOS of 82 (non con 202). 2 wins against teams projected into the tournament. Kansas is 10-3 in Quad 1 wins with a SOS 2 (non con 16). 10 wins or more against teams projected in field or on the bubble Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app thebigweave 1 Quote

They need to fix the quads if a quad 1 team isn't even in the tourney.Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Str8Hoosiers, Josh and thebigweave 3 Quote

Their other quad 1 win was on the road at Maryland (1-75 rpi on the road is a quad 1 win). Maryland was 70. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Quote

Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile appI understand it all can't be equal it is harder to win on the road, but letting quad 1 go all the way up to 75 might be too much.Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Quote

The change came from a meeting with coaches and others involved met with committee in off season that wanted to weight winning on the road and neutral differently. Definitely not perfect but its something the coaches wanted to do Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Quote

Just with my eye test (which means nothing) Michigan State beats Kansas by ten on a neutral court. Michigan State has depth and Kansas does not. IUsafety 1 Quote

BGVille Hoosierfan Posted March 6, 2018 Posted March 6, 2018 Congrats to Mike Roberts (associate head coach) and UNCG! Going dancing for the 3rd time in school history. Laugh at me now but I'm picking the Fighting Mike Roberts' as my upset special this year...I don't care who they play! They're solid and senior led...watch out!
