Do not insult #mypatriotleauge by comparing its standard of basketball play to the lowly PAC 12.greenblood said:LOFL at Oregon and Arizona being quad 1. ASU is the only other team in the conference that isn't low seed NIT level or worse.
I know Washington can't do anything to fix this, they can only play the games on the schedule. But the same can be said about Holy Cross, Fairfield, Bucknell, Rider, Colgate, etc. Yes, I'm comparing the Pac 12 to one bid mid-major conferences. The Pac 12 is really that bad. -
ESPN's Bubble Watch is now up. Good place to follow the bubble as more teams "lock" up spots. Has UW as "should be in" and the only other Pac-12 team on the bubble is ASU. We are a 7-8 seed most places.
Find it interesting that Nevada is #6 in both the AP and Coaches Poll, but most places have them as a 4-5 seed because their wins look like ours. We need to beat the Arizona schools to have much hope of getting higher than a 7 seed unless we essentially win out. -
We are now 2-3 in quad 1 wins and 2-1 in quad 2. Minny Dropped to 52 giving us the quad 2 loss.

This whole time my dumbass thought they were using the RPI to determine the Quad rankings instead of NET.2001400ex said:We are now 2-3 in quad 1 wins and 2-1 in quad 2. Minny Dropped to 52 giving us the quad 2 loss.

https://ncaa.com/rankings/basketball-men/d1/ncaa-mens-basketball-net-rankings Up to #25 in the NET ranking, #32 KenPom, #39 Sagarin.
With ASU dropping from 61 to 78 (NET) we lost a chance at a Quad 1 win. Looks like we only have 2 now with Oregon State also losing. Don't see how we move up another seed after this weekend even with a win @ASU with our "big" wins looking less than impressive.

15 in RPI also, not that that matters anymore. Other than I think they use the SOS from there, which we have a strong non Conference SOS.dawgs206 said:https://ncaa.com/rankings/basketball-men/d1/ncaa-mens-basketball-net-rankings Up to #25 in the NET ranking, #32 KenPom, #39 Sagarin.

Our current SOS is 50 and our nonconference SOS is 17. The only problem is we didn't beat anyone worth a damn in nonconference and our SOS is going to drop below the 80's. Our resume is going to be comparable to Buffalo, Lipscomb, Davidson, etc unless Oregon, Arizona, ASU, and Oregon State help us down the stretch. Pac-12 looks like a one bid league unless we don't win the tournament.2001400ex said:

Dawgs will get brownie points on a 'good' loss at Gonzaga. A W on there on the road would have been huge - but that loss is going to count a helluva lot more than pasting Kal or Cuog.

Yeah and net takes into account margin of victory and road so Gonzaga was a good game.PurpleThrobber said:Dawgs will get brownie points on a 'good' loss at Gonzaga. A W on there on the road would have been huge - but that loss is going to count a helluva lot more than pasting Kal or Cuog.

Dropped to a 9 seed in Lunardi's and Jerry Palm's (CBS) bracket. Getting pretty close to the bubble line again.
