Our RPI is 75, not 56.

tirebiter 12-18-2017 08:48 PM

How is our SOS in Sagarin 124, but in RealTimeRPI it is 10? (12/18 evening)

I know 10 games is a relatively small sample for averages, but it is 1/3 of the season. Is there any basic difference in their formulas (formulae?)

Figgie?

springborofan 12-18-2017 09:58 PM

Sullivan and the team (including Chris) put together a masterful schedule. Win the first game in the tournament against Hofstra and beat Miss St/Penn and UD would have been in the 30's or 40's.

Jeff 12-18-2017 10:03 PM

The key number for this year is:

Finish over 0.500

Sagarin uses their own algorithm and is not the NCAA RPI. RealTimeRPI is not accurate. The UDPride RPI is as accurate as you will find.

...and that right there is why the RPI is meaningless at this time of the year in evaluating a team.

Flyer OOC Schedule
 
Out-of-conference opponents are a combined 95-37 (72%) as of today.
Teams the Flyers beat are 35-19 (65%) and teams the Flyers lost to are 53-15 (78%), with Wagner (7-3) still to be determined.
ESPN RPI has Dayton at 52 as of today, with the second toughest schedule in division I

Maybe I am too simple but, if you don't win the games in a schedule that you created, what's the difference what your RPI and SOS is?

You are what your record says you are - and we are a struggling 500 team this year but with kids getting valuable experience for the run next year.

Because come selection Sunday, a team that went 10-2 OOC isn't always going to be viewed as being the better team vs. one that went 7-5 depending on who they played (SOS)

ud2 12-22-2017 01:41 PM

The A10 has dropped to the 11th best conference this year, behind the MVC, MAC, and the Mountain West. That ranking may change before the year is over.

The American is projected to get 5 NCAAT bids.

Is this just intellectual dishonesty? I mean clearly if we were .500 against the 320th ranked schedule vs the 2nd, wouldn't that be worse?

Shawnee2 12-22-2017 04:37 PM

We would have to have a tremendous upgrade in guards to make any kind of run!

Yet just a few months ago, a few on here wanted to argue that the A-10 was a better conference than the American even after WSU joined the American.

Not a single team in the American with a losing record in non conference play.

Bracket Matrix drops the Bonnies to the first four out.

Miss State moves up to the next four out.

Auburn jumps up to a 5 seed.

SMC 10

Rhody 9

Penn 16

Wagner drops out.

ud2 02-13-2018 10:14 AM

The A10 moved up to #10 from #11, but we are usually 7 or 8 I think.

The top half(approximately)of the A10 is fine this year, the bottom half is killing us though.

Too many 200+ rpi teams, that kills the conference's rpi.

And GM has been a big disappointment so far, they have been a bad addition so far.


Projected rpi/team

8.9 Rhode Island

39.6 St. Bonaventure

Auburn a 2

Rhody a 5

Mississippi State in the next 4 out

ud2 02-13-2018 10:29 AM

The A10 needs to adopt some sort of rolling average rpi policy. If your 5 year rolling average rpi goes above 200, then you are put on probation, and you have 5 years to get in compliance. If you do not comply, then you get kicked out of the conference.

hawkoooo 02-13-2018 10:48 AM

Dance card has started. SBU currently right at the cut line. They need to keep winning and either beat URI or have that be their only other loss.

Even if they win out and lose in the title game they shouldn't consider themselves safe considering the snub from a couple years ago. Which, correct me if I'm wrong, I believe was the worst statistical snub ever.

You got.

URI is at SBU on Friday night. It should have as intense of a crowd that you will ever see in college bball. Small gym, packed with a whole lot of students that like to drink.

Agreed. Mason showed signs of life last year. Very disappointing what they've done this year.

When we added GMU I thought it was a mistake, and I still think they weren't a great choice. Back then, I advocated for College of Charleston, and I still think they'd be much better. Attendance figures both around 4K, nice facilities, and I really like where that program is headed... assuming Sam Miller doesn't mess it up. :) CofC's young head coach Earl Grant has done a very impressive job, and I think he'd have them competitive in the A10.

Dance Card had them at 100% that year.

I'm sure the league and some member like having another Virginia school

Who could have ever predicted that Paul Hewitt would fail there? :confused:

He did a good job at Siena. National Runner Up at Georgia Tech

Based on the mileage one NCAA win gets you 5 should put him in the company of Coach K

I looked at the last 24 years of the A10.

Just looking at the last 5 years. If the above rule was in effect, then both Duquesne and Fordham would be on probation. DU at least has shown some life with Dambrot, and I thought Fordham was on the right track with hc Neubauer, but they have fallen back.

Looking at the last 10 years, only Fordham would be on probation.

Going back to years 11-24, Fordham has consistently been near the bottom of the league.

Duquesne has been better than Fordham.

Fordham should be kicked out.

I admire you for grabbing the bull by the balls and trying to kick those punks out.

But Neubauer is Niedermeyer. He's a sneaky little ****.

What I'm trying to say is that Fordham's already on probation.

Double secret probation.

OSU Flyer 02-13-2018 07:59 PM

Fordham tried an NBA guy. That didn't work. Last 3 hires had good on paper pedigrees (for what Fordham is capable of getting) coming up from lower leagues. They've got some better players there I would have expected for a program with like 2 winning seasons in 20 years.

Not sure if Pecora couldn't make them competitive it's possible to win there

springborofan 02-13-2018 09:17 PM

Fordham' problems are institutional. The bottom line is the administration doesn't care about basketball. They spend much more money on their football program. Why? Because they get away with it.

If it were up to me I'd kick out Fordham and LaSalle. LaSalle spends next to nothing on all sports. Their Olympic sports are disgraceful. I'd keep Duquesne because Pittsburgh is a major city that serves as a bridge for UD and St. Louis. I'd consider adding Belmont and Hofstra but would prefer adding none.

OSU Flyer 02-13-2018 09:45 PM

I'd be curious to know if Fordham has the worst conference record of any team in D1 this century

Don't know about past years but in the current year, so far, 77(+/-) teams have less total wins than the Rams. a bunch have the same(9). In conference play, so far, there are 90 teams with 4 or less wins.
