What Is Your NCAA Tourney Seed Prediction?

[TINY]

You think that’s how oddsmaking works? Basing it on a game more than three months ago when we were playing better than we are now? By your logic, would UCF be favored over us?

yes, oddsmakers would factor in ou beating a better version of Providence by 20+, believe it or not. Oddsmakers would factor in that ou beat Iowa by double digits at a neutral site.

It isn’t the only factor but it is an important one.

One very small factor. They’d also realize we are 2-10 against teams that are certain to make the field. That we have one win over a tourney team in over two months. That we routinely get blown out by quality opponents. That we are collapsing while many of the bubble teams are surging.

OU is still ranked ahead of both in KenPom

Lol y’all done with your circle jerk yet? Geez

We didn’t get blown out by cincy or Houston. You have a short memory. Or is it selective?

 

[mict085]

I think we’re in but I wouldn’t be surprised if we get left out either. Probably a 10-12 seed right now.

 

[TINY]

I think people are putting too much emphasis on the net. After all, ou was like 33 in the NET two years ago and didn’t make it. I think it was mostly due to the 1 bad loss we had to butler.

When you look at OU’s collection of wins and having no bad losses this season, it will stack up favorably against most teams in the 30+ range of the NET. Ou is safely in imo.

So you think “only” getting blown out in four of our final five games against tourney opponents is a factor that works in our favor?

We have two wins to hang our hat on. Two. Maybe three if Providence or Iowa sneak in. Two of three wins in 12-14 opportunities isn’t impressive. And while we haven’t lost to any bad teams, we have several ugly, noncompetitive losses.

Our NET was 39 two years ago IIRC.

Byu
Isu
@kstate
Iowa neutral
Providence
@cincy

All q1 or borderline q1 wins.

We were both wrong on net. I looked it up and ou was 36. My point still stands.

We squeeze in and likely win the first game .. and then PM’s job is safe for another two years unless he flees. Wishing losses on the team and wanting everything to be terrible because they (honestly) looked terrible in several games is just depression talking. If he stays, likely we are better next year with fewer but similar lapses. If he leaves, we have no clue who coaches or what the team looks like .. which will be far more exciting than incremental improvements .. at least until it looks worse .. if it does.

I never said that. Just responding to your post and pointing out that we just had back to back games that we didn’t get blown out in against quality opponents. I don’t expect you to remember those games though

I never said we got blown out every game. I said we got blown out routinely by good teams. The vast majority of our conference losses are by double digits. I think routinely is an accurate description for that.

Cool. Now do Iowa.

You guys look at this in a vacuum. OU would be favored against almost every team on the bubble.

The great thing about this is, if we manage to get in, we will find out soon enough.

We were a 6 point dog yesterday to a team projected to be an 8 seed. Home court is usually worth about 3 points, even though Texas was bad at home this season. So that tells you something about how the experts view us right now.

That team beat us by 15 earlier in the season. And an 8-seed is not on the bubble.

The discussion began with the prediction that we would be favored in our first round game. Period. That was made when we were viewed as an 8/9. So Texas is basically right around the seed line that we were expected to be facing when that comment was made.

But Texas is an 8-seed from our conference. Our conference - Texas, TCU, OU, etc. - will be underseeded because of the strength of the conference, in my opinion.

And, by the way, the discussion started with a claim that OU would be an underdog to every team on the bubble.

 

[OUSKINS]

I think there is a very good chance OU would be an underdog neutral site v Iowa if they played tomorrow.

 

[TINY]

after tech win, we no longer have any losses outside of Q1. We won every non q1 game we played. That’s going to compare very favorably to just about any 30+ ranked Net team.
