Bracketology and Selection Sunday Discussion

Cincinnati got a huge road win at Kansas. Big man Thiam had a monster game. They also have a win over Iowa State. Now they've won 4 straight to get to 15-12 - if they keep winning down the stretch, they will find themselves on the bubble soon.

Going into today Ohio State had a WAB at 44. This is the new hot metric that was used last year that got North Carolina in the field despite having a 1-12 quad 1 record.

That win today vs Purdue should shoot that WAB up hopefully into the top 40 which is around where North Carolina was last year.

Going to be such a huge game at Penn State as losing there would undo almost all the good this Purdue win has done and that game won't be easy at all.

Losing to Penn State wouldn't completely kill the hope but it would put it on life support with no margin for error.. They'd 100% have to beat Indiana and then not lose in their 1st B1G tourney game. Then depending on the rest of the bubble/bid steals maybe have to win a 2nd B1G tourney game as well

I already think WAB is BS to help mid-majors get more bids because they don't play many (or ANY in the case of Miami OH) Quad 1 games. Just a totally unnecessary metric to help teams get in with more wins against weaker teams.

You want to say a game at PSU is an "easy" game because they've lost a lot of games this season, it's really not, but the bracketologists hammer you for losing. That's why it's harder for a high major team, as even the teams like PSU that aren't very good can on one day decide to play like they are very good. The teams that Miami Ohio has been playing would lose to OSU by 40 points, and that's not an exaggeration.
