I want to play Carolina again. They suck and it would be so great to knock them out of the ACCT.

Guess on the bright side we get to play one more game in the ACCT to pad the NCAAT win total. :thumbsup:
This is why you can't trust the narrative on the NCAAT bids. UNC beats quad 3 'cuse at home and Lunardi puts them safely in the field while Wake destroy's their home quad 3 game and we slip to last 4 byes.
It would be interesting to see the home-away-neutral quad 1 records, of course I say this because Wake won at VT, only played dook at home, lost to dook away, Miami away and LSU neutral. The ACC just doesn't have any quad 1 teams to send to Winston.
ND as an 8 seed and us as an 11 doesn't make sense to me. Compare resumes using what is on the team sheets that the committee will be looking at:
Notre Dame
Metrics: Net 46, KPI 54, SOR 30, BPI 49, KenPom 47, SAG 49
NET SOS 66, NON-CONF SOS 27
Quad 1&2: 5-7
Quad 3&4: 15-1
Wake Forest
Metrics: NET 42, KPI 53, SOR 36, BPI 36, KenPom 37, SAG 43
NET SOS 94, NON-CONF SOS 336
Quad 1&2: 5-8
Quad 3&4 17-0
I suppose SOS is the issue here. Which is bullshit, cause ND has played the easiest conference schedule of all time, and no one will say one word about that.
All Quad 1 wins aren't equal. What's WF best quad 1 win? At VT? ND or UNC at home? ND beat Kentucky. That is a much more significant win than anything on WF resume. WF had a chance at Duke. Also, WF's wins over teams above 250 are essentially a nullity.
Here is the thing with ND, they had a Quad 3 win over cuse and a Quad 4 win over GT last week, yet they've moved from 57 to 46 in NET.
Quad 1
Loses
- St. Mary's (neutral)
- @Illinois
- Indiana (neutral)
- @VT
- dook
- @ Wake
Wins
-KY
- @ Miami
If the KY win was so important, why was ND hanging around on the bubble? Why were they around 60 in NET until this week.
The only thing I can come up with is that St. Mary's beating the Zags pulled them up nearly 10 spots.
No, their margin pulled them up this week. In simple terms, you beat the hell out of the spread and you move up a lot. Can’t think of NET or KP or Torvik in simple terms of wins and losses. It’s how you play. Same reason that Wisconsin and Providence fans have bitched all year. They win a ton of very close games.
