It is correct in the case of the selection committee.

I want to believe you. Do you have a source to make that easier?

My recall from last year. Don't let that scare you too much.

You're saying if you have a first round bye in your conference tourney the selection committee credits you with an additional win?

Hopefully the bye we face has a high RPI.

Maybe our FB team can get some pointers on how to defeat BYE from the BB team. However, we play them fewer times next year...

I'm almost certain that's the case as well.

One problem we've had all year is fastbreak offense. Seems like we've struggled to score consistently in transition. Hope we can clean this up against Tulsa and moving forward into the tournament

Would you guys believe me if I told you that our offense was 24th in the nation and our defense was 58th?

Stallion · Post by **Stallion** » Tue Mar 03, 2015 10:36 am

offense and defense really mean nothing because that reflects style of play.

We are

11th FG%
16th Defensive FG %
71st 3 Point FG %

Where we are dropping is Rebound Margin but still at No. 22

Guessing if Harry is quoting something it is pace adjusted.

yeah - points scored/allowed per 100 possessions (adjusted for opponent)

LA_Mustang · Post by **LA_Mustang** » Tue Mar 03, 2015 11:07 am

Our points allowed per possession isn't great because of the number of threes we give up. As someone posted, Stallion I think, teams shoot more threes against us than any other major school in the country.

Last time we had an "all the marbles" game against Tulsa at Moody was in 1998. I was there. I'm sure many on here remember the hideous ending of that one. I've been waiting 17 years for some payback. Let's get the job done!
