How about St. Joes today? Getting it handed to them. (53-23; 2nd half)

[royaldank]

43-21 half time score. They are going down in flames. It's not over, but they are on the virge of getting blown out.

 

[bubbadu]

OH SH*T. I called it in this thread yesterday. Too bad UVM wont have a chance to rip them up 😛

EDIT: If they lose this game, are they still in the tourment?

 

[Nitemare]

It's a shame, I was so looking forward to them becoming the first #1 seed in the tourney to lose to a # 16 seed, now it looks like they want get that chance.

If St Joes was in the ACC or SEC they would have a losing record.

I still think St. Joes will be a #1 seed. So, don't give up hope, yet.

 

[pyonir]

I'd say St Joe's will be a #1 regardless of what happens in this game.

You obviously have not watched them this year. ACC, they would have some trouble in as did every team in the ACC did. SEC isn't as tough.

All I have to look at is the schools that they have played. You can count the ones going to the tourney on one hand:
(vs. RPI 1-25) N-Gonzaga, Boston College
(vs. RPI 26-50) Dayton, at Richmond(Maybe)

The 6th place ACC team:
(vs. RPI 1-25) Wisconsin, at Florida, North Carolina, at NC State
(vs. RPI 26-50) Florida State

The 7th place SEC team:
(vs. RPI 1-25) Alabama, at Alabama, at Florida
(vs. RPI 26-50) Utah, N-UAB

Good lord, can you say cupcake city?

Retarded argument. If you want to cite RPI numbers as a basis for your argument, St Josephs is #2, only behind Duke. SOS=45. Don't even quote the SEC. They are terrible. Mississippi State SOS=50. Stanford...haha. SOS=111. So, do the numbers lie too?

Once again...who have they beaten that is going to the tournament?

Whoever is calculating their SOS is either a St Joe's alumni or was repeatedly dropped on their heads as infants

 

[psyconius]

Of course in a year that Xavier does mediocre, they have to whoop up on St Joe's.. I love Xavier.. probably my second favorite team behind the Kentucky Wildcats.. GOOOOOO XU!

a computer?? Its all numbers. The numbers aren't biased, they don't lie.

I could easily ask you the same question about a number of teams, Who did they lose to that is not going to the tournament?

So, you have to decide in your mind what is worse. Losing to teams that aren't dancing, or beating teams that aren't dancing. Hmm...

Hah. Ok, base your arguments on cliched statements rather than raw facts. You really have no clue what you speak of. St Joes has the #1 Non Conference RPI and #1 Non Conference SOS in the nation. They have played a slew of GOOD teams, many of which will not make the tournament. The A-10 is extremely underrated as a conference (and no, i'm not biased, im from Kansas). Here I am presenting you with facts, and all you can dig up is "to be the man, you have to beat the man"?? Ok, you're done.

So they get to whoop up on NIT teams and teams with losing records? So these GOOD teams aren't even in the top 65, how GOOD can they be?

 

[Saulbadguy]

San Fransisco is decent. Penn is usually a tourney team. Boston College ( they still might make it). George Washington..22 win team. Dayton (don't know yet). Villanova. Xavier. Richmond.

Now mind you, these aren't tourney teams, but solid teams that put up a good fight. The fact that St Joes got through all them throughout the regular season says alot.

Yup, it says that they are pretty good at beating average to below average teams

So, reverse the statement, and lets take a look at some of the big conference upper tier teams.

UK loses TWICE to a average/below average Georgia team
Duke loses to an average/below average Purdue team
Gonzaga loses to St Joes (who in your mind is an average team)
Texas loses to Kansas State
Kansas loses to Richmond

etc etc...

Fact is, St Joes went undefeated in the regular season with a SOS of 45, a Non Conference SOS of 1. The numbers aren't biased. They just look at teams wins and losses. If you want to argue against that, go ahead. I'd like to see some evidence backing up your worthless statements, however.

Nitemare, sorry to say, but time and time again you've clearly demonstrated that you don't have a clue what RPI entails... St. Joes still finished with the highest RPI for the regular season.

They have 3-4 teams that are going to the tourney


Now how the F is that a better RPI than Duke's schedule? When 15 of their competitors(Doubles within conference of course) are going to the tourney. That's almost as bad as the BCS calculations

Now how the F is that a better RPI than Duke's schedule? When 15 of their competitors(Doubles within conference of course) are going to the tourney. That's almost as bad as the BCS calculations

<---passes the soap box to you

Oh, you are fvcking retarded. St Joes does not have a stronger SOS than Duke. They have a stronger non-conf schedule than Duke, like I said. They also do not have a higher RPI than Duke. Duke is #1, St Joes is #2. I'm sorry, from what i've seen of many of your other posts, you are quite intelligent, but you know nothing of college basketball. Give it up, please.

St. Joe's has a higher RPI (winning percentage (25)%, schedule strength (50)%; and opponent's schedule strength (25)%) than teams with 1-5 losses but who possess a much harder schedule and play in much harder divisions because you're not taking into account opponent's schedule strength (which is 25%). For example, Richmond playing (and beating) Kansas is factored into St. Joe's RPI. Like someone else also mentioned, they had the #1 OOC SOS, and schedule strength is 50% of RPI.
