The first run of the net every year is comical. Just wait until Jan 1, let this thing sort itself out a little bit.
 


Setting aside the validity of the methodology early in the year the timing is not ideal for our team to face numbers 11 & 3 this week.

There are 8 Major conference teams below 150. Pretty shocking to me. San Francisco losing to Colorado, Nevada, and Memphis definitely hurts us. Wonder if they will be able to turn it around. For now it looks like a pretty bad loss.

Hopefully they do and hopefully we can get healthy and see what we truly have

Considering we’d probably get blown out regardless, I’d say it’s perfect timing! I don’t want to lose to teams we can beat when we’re (hopefully) finally healthy!

If you're going to worry about index rankings, this season is going to be longer and more tortuous than it already is. My suggestion is to start with very low benchmarks (like Pitino's 3rd season and Johnson's second). If they surpass those, move to slightly less awful benchmarks like Johnson's first season. If they surpass that, you can say "Hey! I've seen far worse. This team is getting close to being mediocre!"

Yes, it's sort of like the Big Bath technique in financial reporting. If you're not going to hit your targets anyway, then accelerate losses into the present so that the future can look a little better.

I know the tourney was always a long shot, but with the pedestrian non-con schedule, I really wanted to get into the Big 10 season with some hope we could play our way into a bid with a .500 or better record.

Just like last year, we were all but eliminated from a shot at MM before the calendar even turned to December.

At least in the Pitino years, we had false hope until January!
 



Is the Big Ten letting everyone into the tournament this year?

Yeah, that noncon schedule certainly wasn't too soft for us. It's the same thing every year. People clamoring for stiffer nonconference competition before they know if the team can handle it. The team ends up with a less impressive nonconference schedule than many want but doesn't do very well with it anyway. Next season the same people will be clamoring for a tougher nonconference schedule while completely forgetting that the team bungled the softer nonconference schedule it had the year before.

Tubby going 12-1 every year and only needing .500 in the big ten to make tourney was a vibe

Wish we did that more though

Things must be absolutely buzzing on the St. Thomas Basketball & Summit League board! I bet it was also rocking in Anderson Arena Saturday night. It’s certainly all anyone was talking about around the water cooler today.
 

D 3 boring game against Lawrence kind of like when UST handled Green Bay… like the Gophers did… wait my bad
