A year ago to the day they beat 30 pt favorite Iowa in the worst upset in 30 years.
I'm seeing ISU listed at -31.5 for tonight.
Plus it's the year the calendar moves the tournament back a week. Just a lot more dates available.
I don't know what team has that Blue plus (+) sign as their logo, but dayum, they're KILLING IT!
Looking at Haslametrics, who also has us #5, we need to win tonight by at least 88-53 to keep pace.
WE'RE GOING TO THE FINAL FOUR!!!
I took Eastern Illinois +31.5. I mean, they beat the St Louis College of Pharmacy so must be good.
I'm surprised that New Hampshire is #210. Looking at their schedule, they've been pretty tough.
The cupcakes we've played so far are ranked in the following order on Torvik...
#216 New Hampshire
#284 Idaho State
#287 Green Bay
#297 Prairie View A&M
#309 Florida A&M
#320 Grambling
#325 Eastern Illinois
#337 Lindenwood
I am not going to put DePaul and Iowa in there. As much as I was tempted.
So yeah, UNH is going to be the "toughest" of the buy games.
That should be the only one that ends up as a Quad 3 win outside of maybe DePaul on the road. The rest are clearly going to be Quad 4 games. Iowa is probably going to end up a Quad 2 win.
UNH at home is already slotted as a Q3 right now (154 is 7 slots from dropping to Q4). At DePaul is slotted as a Q4 right now (271 is 31 slots from rising to a Q3). DePaul has a lot work to do for that to become a Q3 win for ISU.The cupcakes we've played so far are ranked in the following order on Torvik...

Iowa at home is 64 which is Q2b. Iowa would have to drop to ranking of 76 or worse for that to become a Q3 win. Iowa would have to rise to a ranking of 55 or better for that to become a Q2a win.
WVU at home is still firmly a Q4 game. They would have improve their 200 ranking to 160 or better for that to change to Q3.
Virginia Tech (N) is still hanging on as a Q1a loss. But if their ranking drops 2 spots to 51 it becomes a Q2a loss. Let's hope they figure things out.

We are just abusing and exploiting the NET ranking system flaw. We don't even have 1 "resume" win.
yes yes yes... it won't matter for us in the end since we play in a real conference.
