Watch out for Oregon in that Vandy regional. They can crush the ball.

gotta get the reasoning for this one

losing record in a bad pac 12

Feels like they wanted another out west team and shoehorned Arizona in there based on some metric

Yeah I know Arizona went on a run in the conference tourney this week and had a higher RPI. Especially over teams like Arizona State and USC that had winning conference records.

Nobody got fricked as bad as Alabama. Maybe Clemson.


Indiana St should not have been a host, but otherwise Alabama was the weakest. I’m not sure why people were so high on them. They lost 6 weekend series, including Columbia. They were rightfully the lowest seeded of the SEC host teams.

Damn. I guess OU did “deserve” it more than K-State.

I think Cohen’s a dick, but I thought he gave some good answers on changing the RPI

Huge whiff with no Boston Regional. But no one would show up and money talks.

Dumb question as I am not following, but when will the TV scheduling and game times release?

That metric was being #45 in the RPI. They benefited from the high RPI rankings of Grand Canyon and UC-Irvine who they played 4 times midweek. They are definitely an example of the flaws of the RPI.

Looks like the propaganda push to make future changes easier to swallow is in full force, even if it is the right move.

Probably should make some changes in metrics.
