Actually SHU bearing MD by 4 does not move the needle because they outperformed expectations by on 3 points.
It was more the teams around Rutgers playing bad and us leap frogging teams like Tennessee and LSU

The BART needle (aka holding serve)
Beat Lafayette by 14
Caldwell does not exist
Beat Nebraska by 4
Beat PSU by 1
I just wish fans would only look at out next game. We never seem to learn. If we lose a game some will be ripping RU once again. Just check as there are upsets every single day in college basketball. In the BIG I think 12 teams are 1-1. It is tough to win on the road. Maryland was in the Top 3 and has now lost two in a row. With their talent they should never have lost to SHU with a depleted team but they did.
You do realize that the fans looking at the next game, or looking ahead 7 games, or looking back at previous games, doesn't really have a bearing on the outcome of the next game.
As far as some ripping us after a loss, there are some fans who ride a roller coaster, with euphoric highs after a win and in the depths of despair after a loss. But there are also some negative fans or trolls who only come out to post after a loss.
Now we have fan coach speak
Considering we have been fans a generally crappy team, it’s fun to be interested in this stuff
And honestly, a good coach should be able to use this as motivation. Why do we have to pretend that everyone isn’t looking at it?? The founder of Kenpom was on the podcast Kyk linked recently talking about how all schools now subscribe to the site because they are looked at for the tournament
“Hey Rutgers team...let’s not f*ck up the Lafayette game because if we want to make it into the 40s we have to beat this by 40 points. I hope that’s motivating,” - Coach Pike
And ahead of former conference mates Syracuse and Uconn both.
I think a KenPom of 40-45 is roughly on the bubble, but NET is the key now and we’re currently at 53 there.

Last year Ohio State was the definition of a bubble team and they got into the NCAA tourney as an 11 seed with a final NET ranking of 55, an overall record of 19-14 and 8-12 record in the B1G conference. OSU finished the season at #44 in KenPom after winning one game in the NCAA.
Why are you using last year's conference finish and applying it as a point of reference to this year's computer rankings?

Both have 7 B1G programs in the Top 25, and Bart has 12 B1G Programs in the Top 50, which is crazy.

Not really accurate like last year...unless people believe San Diego State and Butler are 1/2 seeds. It's a guide but not much more than that.
Its what the committee looks at the most
As we settle into league play the few outliers from smaller conferences will drop

Kenpom is part of the ncaa team sheet for the selection committee
And 34 in Bart... which is still 10th in the B1G, as crazy as that sounds.
