Texas has no chance

I don't see how Texas being on the bubble is automatically an advantage for them. They will be desperate and probably a little too amped up and tight. I think we will be pretty loose. We want to win, of course, but if we lose, we'll live to fight another day and on a bigger stage.

It's only logical if the other team has nothing to play for. Then it makes some sense. ISU has plenty to play for and Texas is going to be our *****. I can only say this so many times. :smile:

You know what I think?

I think you created this thread with your bold prediction so you could get a better "Top Post" and get your PQR and TRA ratings up.


Yeah, I said it!

I don't know what this means. Should I? It sounds intriguing.

Top Post refers to a thread where everyone listed their best thread be it the most posts in a thread they created, the one with the most views, or the one they liked the best.

PQR stands for Poster Quality Ranking. It was a set of ratings that gogagig spent too much time on. It Divided each posters Number Of Posts Rank by their Total Rep Ranking to get their Posts/Rep ratio or Poster Quality Rankings.

Someone then used these numbers and Averaged the Number of Posts Rank, Total Rep Rank, and PQR Rank to get the Total Ranking Average (or TRA) rank. This weighted the ranking for those who had particularly high Number of Posts Rank and or Rep Rank, but whose ratio between the two was not as good (ie A lot more posts than rep, but a lot of rep regardless).


All the details are here:

FYI, cydkar you were 140 in PQR and #23 in TRA.


I was 153 in PQR and 41 in TRA. TRA rules!

Hmmm, so I need to post less but be incredibly clever when I do. When are these updated? I'm on a mission now.

TEXAS HAS NO CHANCE!

Honestly, I think Texas is already in. Would a win over a tournament lock ensure it? I would hope so.

Lunardi now has Drexel among Last 4 in, Texas in First 4 Out. Can someone compare these resumes and tell me if I'm missing something?

Texas vs. Drexel

I don't claim Drexel also shouldn't make the field (although, actually, it shouldn't) but it should not be in before Texas (among other teams).

I realize Lunardi is not the last word on these things, but (1) he's the most prominent analyst for bracket guessing and (2) that's what he does all season long.

I would rather see a team like Drexel get in over a team like Texas. I know their confrence isn't great but they won like 20 games in a row at one point.

See, we told you that you would care once you figured it out.

Just keep posting stuff that gets rep no matter what. TRA is a much better guage in my mind because there were a lot of people with just a few good posts that got a lot of rep, and not a lot of posts overall, who ended up in the tops for PQR. No consistency. Most of the TRA top 25 were very easy to recognize (like yourself) and most anyone would consider them solid posters. There also weren't any posters with less than 1000 posts in the top 100 of the TRA where there were lots in the PQR top 100.


I'm just glad to be in the dance at #41. That's a solid 11 seed baby!

So, is Cydkar "on the bubble," then, or a lock?

i keep hearing its hard to beat a team 3 times in one year, but i dont see stats to back it up.

Id rather risk playing a bad team 3 teams and beat them 3 times. Then a good team that has beat us twice already, and expect to beat them all of the sudden...

I just want to see some numbers to back up the notion that a team doesnt usually beat the same team 3 times in one year.

I would imagine the odds would be low if you were at the beginning of the year, with all three games ahead of you, but after two wins, get considerably better. Either way, screw the odds, I think we're better than Missouri.

Odds are still tough then since most Big 12 teams don't face each other a third time. Most teams that sweep a team in the regular season don't get a chance to face them the third time.

Boo! That ranking system unfairly discriminates against me. I demand a refund.

i think there is about a 50/50 chance we win or lose. you have to be crazy to say texas has no chance. have you watched our team this year? we have dominated tech and a&m no one els in conference play. if we shoot the three well we will win if we dont we are probly gunna lose. and guys like brown that drive the lane usually have good games against us cuase our defense isnt that great. we break the top 25 and now we are unbeatable all of the sudden? hope we win but wont be suprised of we get knocked out early texas has some players. and chapman will be ready to play, he played most of the ku game on that ankle im sure with 5 days rest he will be ready to play especially if it may be the last game of the season for him.

You forget we are now a very good last five minute team unlike last year. Fred has this team figured out on when to do what. He is running the defense and offense at the end like they do in the pros.
