Katz saying 11-8 is possible to get in

Gonna be tough

Katz saying 11-8 is possible to get in

If we win out at home and steal the Indiana game, I think we get in without needing to do any extra work in the B1G Tourney.

 

[superfan01]

I think 5 more wins at least needed. Likeky 6. Just get wins anyway we can.

 

[RU206]

Win tonight.

I wouldn't feel good about 11-9. There'd be a chance but we'd need a good amount of luck elsewhere on the bubble.

 

[DHajekRC84]

gosh what an epic missed opportunity this could be. Just win guys. We've finished strong under Pike last couple of years. Leadership time for the pair.

We dont play 19 games

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

Win tonight.

Yes. Win tonight.

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

we might... covid

I think he meant to say 11-9. I think 11-9 is dicey unless one of those is a road win...likely need to win 1 B1G Tourney game to get in at that point. Win out at home and beat Indiana to get to 12-8 and I think we are good.

 

[BIGRUBIGDBIGredmachine]

I'll take it. But I have to think we still will need at least 1 win in the B1G tourney.

That's what I hate about college sports. Pro sports are easy to determine postseason status...make the Top 6 or 8. College sports is all arbitrary and its a damn guessing game until Selection Day.

 

[ScarletDave]

11-9 gives you a chance to play-in during the B1G tourney. 10-10 almost certainly doesn’t cut it unless we go on a B1G tourney run. 12 wins and we’re in, period

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

If we got in at 11-9 the NET ranking could get tweaked for 2022-23

Any 11-9 B1G record will land a NET well into the mid to low 60s....

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

Any 11-9 B1G record will land a NET well into the mid to low 60s....

60 isn’t 40. I wonder what the lowest NET number got it in the past.

This way is fairer

NET has only been around a few seasons but St. John's was 81st in KenPom in 2018-19 when they got in. But they had the opposite profile of us: No bad losses, no great wins.

 

[jerzeyguy]

That road schd is brutal

 

[bac2therac]

11-9 puts in a position to earn our way in but nowhere near in

On fact i don't see any scenerio where RU isnt straddling the outside of the bubble or last 4 in before tourney time

 

[bac2therac]

Any 11-9 B1G record will land a NET well into the mid to low 60s....

Likely not

Michigan State similar profile bu no bad losses was 76

kenpom is a different animal....at least i think

 

[bac2therac]

The issue with Rutgers are multiple red flags

Bad losses
No quality ooc wins
No quality road wins
Over all loss number
Poor OOC schedule strength
Poor efficiency ratings
Poor overall NET

You dont want to check this many of these boxes

IMO all Wins are good ....& all Loses are BAD.

That means you expect us to at least be 11-9 . That is good I guess .

The Warren Nolan site for 2018-19 had St. John's at NET 73.

I think its a realistic goal

 

[Knights 1212]

I think we must win TONIGHT and than think about the next game. Each win over a ranked team helps us.

 

[RUEd]

Bac, I think you do a great job. You really love college basketball!
curious question, what is your accuracy, annually, on selection Sunday? Have you ever recorded it. I’d guess mid 90 percent correct?

Same as his accuracy on the CE board - 99.9% !!

Most of those are eliminated at 11-9.....RU self corrects those items quickly because they will be underdogs in 7 straight games from Michigan State to Indiana. If RU goes 3-4 in those games, efficiency is changed drastically.

I have got the field correct before but most of time its one or occasionally 2 wrong

The bad losses arent..have 13 losses which would be 14 wont be..the ooc stuff wont...so the only we can improve upon is quality road wins

 

[DHajekRC84]

yes we do. In fact we play 20

 

[DHajekRC84]

and of course you know we're rooting for that again

I’ll bet he averages 99% or 67/68

Bac's Tournament record rivals Numbers Covid/Rutgers record, which is damn near perfect, Numbers told us so!

Numbers, I hope you realize I am just pulling your leg!! I love your posts and input into this forum, even if you confused Covid w/ Ebola and quarantined your mail early in the pandemic!!
