Hogs Quadrant 1 victories

[jbt]

This site goes over what the committee looks at.  There is a lot we can improve on over the next several games or crash and burn.   It will be interesting.  http://extra.ncaa.org/solutions/rpi/Stats%20Library/Feb.%203,%202018%20Team%20Sheets.pdf

OU sucks now. That team has real issues. Lost 8 of their last 10, including a home loss today against 16-1/5-8 Texas. Sucks because they were our signature win away from home.

No one knew when we came back to beat the vols how big that would be

man that just reminds me how terrible we've been this year. absolutely embarrassing. we should expect better from this team. no more excuses. sorry to beat a dead horses but seeing those lopsided defeats on the road makes us look like darn tbh. we're 3-7 in quadrant 1. lucky if we make the tournament, we're the last of the sec teams at the moment. i don't think people realize that. this is pathetic. absolutely horrible midseason collapse by this team. we must win out

we should make the tourney but hes not wrong about the mid-season collapse.
the Houston and LSU loss are puzzling. Anderson clearly had some serious issues with chemistry

We are currently as a 10 seed, and the last team from the SEC in. its no guarantee at all we will make it in, especially once all the AQ bids come in. we may very well wind up on the wrong side of the bubble, along with kentucy and a&m.

I don't really think Mike is the problem. The talent is there, but the team ball and team defense hasn't been. to me it seems like too many chiefs not enough indians type of situation. Barford and Macon wanna get theirs and that fosters that type of selfish culture on the team. I could be wrong but thats the way i see it.

Problems are the same every year, Anderson is the only constant.

I get it, some of you people just can't handle the truth. It just drives you absolutely livid that another razorback fan can see things objectively. And that's absolutely ok. But to call me names and act like a child because you disagree, that's pretty classless behavior.

I'll say this with class:  there is nothing objective about what you are saying.

[Hog_Fink]

Warren Nolan has us at 5-6 vs quadrant 1
Kentucky will be a big game.
if we stay hot & get back to playing good Ball I dont see why we can't make a run. JUST PLEASE DON'T BE AN 8 OR 9

There fixed it for you. Easy mistake, many people dont know the difference.

my opinion is based on our resume though, how is that subjective? your reply is what is subjective, because its based on your emotions.... check mate bia

how so? is it not based on our resume? is it not pathetic to be blown out at home by middling LSU? Did we not collapse midseason? Hmm, which part of my post wasn't objective? Can you also say that with class?

That we are the last team in.  If you actually look at the resumes, ours is about 3rd in the SEC right now.  That we are horrible.  Not realizing that almost ALL teams in the country hit a slump at some point in the year.  Almost ALL teams have a few losses they shouldn't.

[Nolan's Boots]

5 quadrant 1 victories. If that's what they are looking at primarily this season id say we're looking pretty good.

Because you are judging something in mid season, and by definition it is subjective. You fail to understand that Nolan's teams as well as Mike's teams always have this pattern. They start well, play mediocre in early Jan or Feb, then finish strong. They build for the tourney.

They do this by playing a deep bench. It keeps their legs fresh and gets experience to others so that when march arrives (end of season), they are more prepared and have fresher legs.

You are not objective, because you have an obvious bias and let that effect any of your perceived objectiveness. That is ok, it is your right. However just because you are biased with your assessment and you don't understand things fully, please don't expect those of us who do to agree.

you said none of my post was objective, now i see you've changed that to some. Yes, the statement that our performance was pathetic and horrible is subjective, but it is still based on objective evidence. midseason implosion, 2 losses to lsu and an implosion @ MSU. 30 point drubbing by Houston. All pathetic, by most definitions.

And, to refute your point about our resume, we are the last team in out of the SEC according to pretty much everyone, I mean the SEC Network has been showing the graphic all week, and even today's announcers mentioned it we were the last SEC team in. the reason is that the good of our resume is basically offset by our midseason implosion. losses to mississippi st, and lsu really hurt us. Prior to todays victory over A&M we were 3-7 in quadrant 1 wins and our most recent wins were against the two worst teams in our conference. This win makes us look good now, but if we would have loss we would have been in bad shape, which the announcers also mentioned today.

You strung together some sentences, but the logic supporting your conclusion is shaky at best. Judging something midseason makes it subjective? That is not what subjective means. You go on to make a pointless anecdote, then you follow it up by using an ad hominem attack saying that i am not objective because i have "an obvious bias". YOu then pat yourself on the back as if you are right, without providing any proof, which is a logical fallacy known as "argument from authority". class dismissed.

curious who from our schedule moved up into q1? the link posted this morning said we were 3-7. so today's win would make us 4-7 unless someone else moved into q1.

not sure, but Warren Nolan has us at 5-6 & 25rpi

Here are the teams from the SEC, using WarrenNolan, just because it is already updated (not including Auburn and Tennessee, everyone agrees they are locks) ...

Arkansas 19-8, 25 RPI
Florida  17-10, 63 RPI
A&M  17-10, 20 RPI
Kentucky  18-9, 17 RPI
Missouri  18-9, 27 RPI
Alabama  17-10, 34 RPI

Now, Mr. Objectivity, tell me how Arkansas is is the last SEC team in.  Bad losses or midseason implosion?  Florida lost 4 of 5 at one point, including a loss to Loyola-Illinois. A&M lost 7 of 9 at one point.  Kentucky just lost 4 in a row.  Missouri lost 6 of 9 in the middle of the season.  Alabama  lost 7 of 10 at one point this season, including losses to UCF, Vanderbilt and Georgia.

Again, objectively, tell me we are last in.

And while you are going to try to say that this is after today, it was pretty similar before today.

Edit:  To correct Arkansas RPI

[Hog_Fink]

I dont understand how we were ever last sec team in......

Me either, but I'm just an arm chair analyist.

Oklahoma, Tenner,  Mizzou, Georgia, and Texas a&m. Georgia was a top 75 road win.

Pathetic post. We are 4-7 now and that is representative. 11 Quadrqant 1 games puts us right there with the top 5 or 6 teams in number of games played against stiff competition. Several teams above us in that particular rpi have 2 to 4 quadrant 1 games.....so much for playing a tough schedule.

We SHOULD be somewhere from the 3rd to 5th sec team in, but the graphic today, and all week clearly showed us as the 10th  team in from the sec. And, that was with several of the teams listed ahead of us currently slumping. Just released lunardi projections has us as the 5th most likely to get in, but also has us as the worst seed, at 9.

yep Dari and Pat were confused about it also, I think Lunardi just doesn't care anymore and just puts teams, it's a shame

Along with rankings it really makes no sense. It took Kentucky losing 3 in a row drop out of the bottom of the top 25, they lost a 4th b/4 winning today; they'll probably re-enter top 25 this week. OU has lost 7/10 and is currently ranked 21.

[hogfan10]

SEC Now.

[Randohoggie]

SEC Now.

Thanks

[hogfan10]

Thanks

No problem, had us at 89% chance of getting in.

[mckinneyhog5]

No problem, had us at 89% chance of getting in.

Barring a total collapse of the heart, we are gonna make it in.

[Hog_Fink]

well I guess the next 4 games give us a lot of room to improve seeding? I wonder how much

[TebowHater]

Every single quadrant 1 loss was on the road. Wow.

Only have had the chance to play ONE quad one game at home, and won. Now 2 and won both after TAMU.

[TNhawgfan]

Lunardi doesn't seed the big dance. Don't worry about it. He does a good job predicting the field, but not their ranking. We'll be fine

[k.c.hawg]

ARKANSAS (RPI: 30, KenPom: 44, NBC seed: 9): The Razorbacks landed their fifth Quadrant 1 win of the season. They are now 19-8 on the year and have just one loss outside of Quadrant 1. At this point, Arkansas is going to be moved off of the bubble for us. They're in if they don't do anything stupid the rest of the way.

There are only 11 teams with more than 5 Quadrant 1 wins. There are another 6 teams with 5 Quadrant 1 wins that have less than our 7 Quadrant 1 losses. Hogs are looking extremely strong in what is being stated as one of the most important criteria by the committee. All 4 remaining games will fall in Quadrant 1 with 2 being road games. While we face a very difficult closing schedule, it also eliminates the possibility of getting a really nast loss on our resume. If we go get a couple of wins in these last 4 we will have put ouselves in the conversation for a 7 maybe even a 6 depending on who we beat. Anything more than 2 wins and I think we are secure as a 6 or 7.
