AI's attempt to answer your question:

I just love the part at the end about Bonus or Penalties. Essentially the old "eye test"...or, what's more commonly known as "We'll put anyone in the tournament we damn well please, and there's nothing you can do about it."

His (Torvik) early formula is based off of past player performance. When he had Zach and Hunter in our lineup before season started, we were ranked in low 30’s.

Obviously with the International and freshmen players, his site will not reflect their actual production until they get some more court time. I would assume by late December to early January this number will shift.

On the NET website, it says "NET Rank updated for games through MAR 12th" so it looks like these are all last season's NET rankings. I can see not wanting to release early season results when computer models can be all over the place in the early season (see RPI).

For those that may be unfamiliar, KenPom (and other more advanced models) use last season's info at the start of the season and slowly deweight it as the season progresses, so those computer models are more stable but are also partly based on last year's team. So more stability might lead to the metric being less accurate to this year's team.

If we're being honest, getting to .500 in the Big East is going to be a battle for this team.

That's where I scratch my head with people thinking this team gets to 13 BE wins. I don't see it, but if we do, we're in.

We're going to be straddling bubble land all season, which isn't good for the emotions.

Was just looking at the net rankings and found it interesting that St. Mary's and UC are now Quad 1 wins. Not sure if either will stay there, but interesting nonetheless at this point. For some perspective, most in the top 50 net only only 2-3 Quad 1 wins. Heck, some don't even have 1..about 25% of them. X could grab their 3rd and 4th this week :) .

The outlook for this team would look so much different had they not dropped Delaware and Oakland.. ugh.

Had to win both, but your point stands. Needed those two games just for the volume of wins (and avoidance of bad losses). Even if we pick up some good W's in conference, there probably won't be a big enough number in the win column to warrant much consideration for the tournament. 9-5 record with no bad losses and a tough schedule looks a whole lot different than 7-7 with two bad losses.

If we go 10-10 in conference we finish 17-17. 2 BE tourny wins dont get us over the hump.

I'm thinking there have been years where teams get in at like 16-14 or 17-13 when they've played a very hard schedule and won some really tough games. I think that magic number is 11 conference wins with a decent showing in the BE tourney.

I don’t think it’s a miracle if this team wins 13 regular season conference games let alone 11. The big East is tough but it’s not a bunch of 96 bulls teams. Marquette/creighton aren’t as great as their preseason rankings and with the injuries across a lot of the conference, there are a lot games that can be had.

Want to look on the bright side? According to KenPom, Xavier is BY FAR the best team in the country with a losing record. KenPom rates the 7-8 Muskies #41. The next "best" team with a losing record is 6-10 Michigan at #75. Not may teams have played the #1, #2 and #4 teams in the country. And #4 might become #1 this week.

#118 UCLA is the third "best" team with a losing record.

Who keep saying X will finish 17-17, I don’t think brag is possible as they only play 31 games. X needs to win 18 games. Then one in the. Beast. 19-14 should be enough. Now my question is what will their SOS be at the end of the season? Right now it stands at #5. Town and Depuke are going to hurt us but thankfully the rest will boost us back up. Is it possible to have the top SOS by the end? It should def be top 5. UC and VD are going to struggle bc of the OOC UC played and how awful the A-10 is. X already passed up both on Kenpom

xukeith
01-17-2024, 06:21 AM
I think the metrics really favor X b/c of our SOS.
Wins improve the win % and since the SOS is pretty elite, even at 18-13 would probably raise X to mid 20's in metrics.
My heart prefers weaker schedule but X is improving offensively and defensively.

I took a look at a couple of the first four teams last year to get an idea:

Miss St; 49 in the net, 52 SOS, 8-10 conference record, 4 quad 1 wins and a quad 3 loss; 21 total wins.

Arizona State; 66 in the net, 62 SOS, 11-9 conference record, 6 Quad 1, 1 Quad 4 loss, 22 total wins.

Not sure exactly what to take from this except that X has 4 more quad 1 games as of now (@butler, seton hall and home against creighton, marquette). But this is what I think....They need to win at least two more quad 1s, avoid no losses to G town or Depaul, and that 19 total wins (including the bE tourney) most likely gets them a trip to the dump due to the great SOS. Heck it may even get them out of the first four.

17 wins feels like the absolute ceiling for the regular season, which would then make winning a game (or two?) in New York City nearly mandatory for serious bubble consideration. I'm not sure we look or feel like a Tournament Team, but that would certainly be a nice way to end the season and begin looking ahead to 2024-25.

17 wins feels like the absolute ceiling for the regular season, which would then make winning a game (or two?) in New York City nearly mandatory for serious bubble consideration. I'm not sure we look or feel like a Tournament Team, but that would certainly be a nice way to end the season and begin looking ahead to 2024-25.

I hate to even bring it up...NIT - yes or no?

Would never have thought that Lunardi would have 7 BE teams in his bracket, and Xavier is not one of them.

Villanova as one of those 7 teams being safely in is mind boggling. I know they have a couple of good wins (3 quad 1) but they have 3 quad 3 losses and are 11-9.

I would guess they would play if invited, but I have very little interest in watching that.

Our program is no longer in a place where we can turn down NIT bids.

Agreed. Two years ago, Xavier’s winning the NIT energized the Musketeers and afforded them an opportunity to play some exciting games against good competition.

Not sure exactly what to take from this except that X has 4 more quad 1 games as of now (@butler, seton hall and home against creighton, marquette). But this is what I think....They need to win at least two more quad 1s, avoid no losses to G town or Depaul, and that 19 total wins (including the bE tourney) most likely gets them a trip to the dump due to the great SOS. Heck it may even get them out of the first four.

I’d assume at Marquette would be a Q1 as well, so they have 5 more opportunities in regular season. I somewhat agree 19 wins definitely gets them in…unless they get two of those in BET. Otherwise they’d be 19-15 (right?) and 15 losses just seems to be too many.

Joe only has 4 BE teams in his bracket as of this morning. I know the middle of the conference is very average, but that's kind of crazy.

Anyways, if X can win tomorrow, I think there is a good chance that it could separate itself a bit from that middle over the next few weeks. A loss and it's time to start talking about next year. Tomorrow really is make or break time.

Xavier is by far the highest ranked 12 loss team!

Millers first team last time was 17-12 in the a-10. I think that team was far worse than this one.

Xavier is #52 in KenPom. The second best team with a losing record is #100 OK State. Xavier ranks #312 in luck according to Ken. Beats UC's #343 luck ranking (what a shame for them)!
