Men's basketball, I guess it's a game but really it isn't, 2 pm vs. Arky Pine Bluff


Recommended Posts

Arky PB is 362 in Pomeroy.  It is 330th or worse in 5 of the eight factors (four factors times 2 for offense and defense).  It has played 4 P5 teams this year, lost them by an average of 46 points, and never came closer than 34.  This is Solomon Bozeman's fourth season as APB coach.   During his tenure, APB has beaten one other D1 program in a non-conference game (335 Central Arkansas), but it managed to beat CA in back to back years, so . . .

Ah, the hell with it.

Joke game.

SEC+ if you dare.

Well we need all the wins we can get now. Just to give you all an idea of what we’re up for in the SEC, Auburn beat Ohio State 91-53 yesterday in a neutral site game. Hard to believe we lost to Ohio st to start the year. 

Conference went 7-1 against P5 teams yesterday, LSU being the only loser (by 10 to SMU in Frisco).  A&M beat Purdue in Indianapolis, thanks to Pharrel Payne (someone we tried to land) scoring 16 and grabbing 9 boards. 

Pomeroy now projects us to finish with a losing record in conference.

APB, UNO, and even Northwestern State present worthless wins, assuming we win them all.  You have to win games like that by 50 to not lose ground in the NET rankings, so all we are doing is reducing our SOS.

19-12 without any OOC q1 wins (@NC State is currently a q2 win) but with a q1 record of 2-10 won't do anything for us.  We have to play better than projected in conference or we're NIT bound this year.

That's going 8-10 in conference? Seems kind of like best case scenario right now tbh.

We're actually  favored in only 6 conference games, but as Pomeroy explains it: "Projected record is based on cumulative probabilities of winning
each game and may not equal the sum of individual game predictions."

I don't like Vinson's demeanor at all in this game.

Here's hoping he's not in a feedback loop of thinking he should get more pt, pouting for not getting more pt, being denied pt because of pouting, pouting more for getting even less pt, etc.
