I doubt Illinois beats BYU.If we were seeded above Tennessee we’d be the 2 in the Midwest and they’d be the 2 in the East. ISU has as good of a path to the Elite 8 as they’ve ever had. I’m happier with Illinois as the 3 over Creighton

I don't know. As you're seeing with BYU, they're a lot like our old Hoiberg teams. If the shots aren't falling, they can lose to anyone.I doubt Illinois beats BYU.
No. Leadership is not about proving yourself right.When people question your work you don't get defensive and want to prove you're right?
3 times actually. He then tripled-down and publicly supported a philosophy that double-counts the NCSOS, and then was arrogant and oblivious enough to air this opinion publicly before a huge weekend of basketball for his school.So he's saying ISU deliberately scheduled weak in non-conference, and by his vote he agrees ISU's non-con is what put us 8th instead of 4th or 5th.
Apparently he screwed us twice.
Edit: I was late the the thread, I see several others already noted this.
The metrics ARE objective, it's the people (i.e., committee) who aren't.This is all subjective. If it was objective, they wouldn't use a committee.
Ken Pomeroy decided how Adjusted Efficiency Margin is calculated on his site. The math used to get there is objective, choosing what variables go into it is subjective. Back up far enough and its not all that different to how individuals on the committee decide to place teams on their own seed listThe metrics ARE objective, it's the people (i.e., committee) who aren't.
That's why the decision should be an aggregate of multiple metricsKen Pomeroy decided how Adjusted Efficiency Margin is calculated on his site.

Sure, you can disagree with how the formula is put together, but at least it's transparent and you can't disagree with the application of the formula. Committee members have their own individual formulas inside their heads which are not transparent and are not applied consistently. I know which method I prefer.Ken Pomeroy decided how Adjusted Efficiency Margin is calculated on his site. The math used to get there is objective, choosing what variables go into it is subjective.

Will JP give us a condescending explanation or have I missed that already?
It's objective that team A has the better KenPom. But there's nothing objective about saying the tournament should be seeded by KenPom rank.The metrics ARE objective, it's the people (i.e., committee) who aren't.
No, but at least KenPom is transparent. Committee members are not.It's objective that team A has the better KenPom. But there's nothing objective about saying the tournament should be seeded by KenPom rank.
Yes, you can do that. And then you have everyone gaming the system because they know the rules. Or, you can do your best to eliminate bias and accept the inherent randomness of a bunch of people making their own informed decisions.Sure, you can disagree with how the formula is put together, but at least it's transparent and you can't disagree with the application of the formula.

Bingo. Sure he's said or done some things we may question but he's really navigated ISU overall really well.Its okay to acknowledge JP is a good AD but isn't always perfect (no one is).
15 seeds don’t have large fanbases. Why is this that important? I would bet that in most 2/15 games there are more fans of the other 2 teams in the session rooting for the 15 than actual fans of the program.Miles traveled by 15 seeds on average.

It’s not a big deal but I can tell you it has had an effect on ticket prices. Prices are dropping today but I, like many others purchased after the session announcement.15 seeds don’t have large fanbases. Why is this that important?
