KenPom rates UC #9. I'm kind of afraid they're going to murder us this year.

That one I can explain. It’s an adjusted efficiency rating. They’ve been very efficient against bad teams, but the adjusted rating isn’t being adjusted to account for how bad the teams are because it’s still too early to make a proper adjustment, so it’s still basically just a strait efficiency rating.

The NET is a scam. It's not that's it's not accurate in my mind. I'm reasonably sure it's as good as any of the other metrics. It's the whole quad thing that's the scam. Basically it allows the committee to move the target depending on who they want to let in. Which of course will always be the case regardless, but the fact they don't release the actual formula tells you all you need to know.

It's ridiculous to not release the formula.

"Well if we did then no one would really understand it anyway."

Well, that's bullshit. Not everyone would understand it, but I bet most people who wanted to understand it would understand it.

Feels like they have a definitive edge this year. We will see how they play at Nova tomorrow. Skilling is still out.....

Feels like they will be a 8-10 PPG favorite.

Dropped to the "last team in" and a play-in spot in Dayton.

That is insane. Creighton out and X in. lol

[X-band '01]

That was before Creighton beat Kansas and X losing at TCU.

Then again, Kansas is going to fall further with a loss at Mizzou.

Aren’t a tournament team right now. I’d like to see some changes in the starting lineup. Either go small with Maddox and take the good with the bad or put hunter in there and slide Swain over. Not getting off to great starts, and need something to inject some life into the team at the beginning.

When I look at Xavier’s Big East schedule and try to predict the outcome I can’t get comfortable with having confidence in winning any games other than.
Georgetown and DePaul Home and Away . 4
Seton Hall at home . 1
Butler and Providence at Home 2 .

To get to 9 I need to add both Butler and Providence away.
To get to 10 I need to add St. John’s or Villanova at Home.

How do you see it?
