Zero. Basketball is scheduled the spring/summer after the season not way out in advance like football.

I’ve watched a lot of Drake games and consider them my second favorite team. Drake cannot match the size of Iowa State. BRE, Ward, Watson, and King will dominate the interior.
True, but totally stupid. Play a bunch of teams in the low 200s should make zero difference vs playing teams in the 300s. Any good team is winning all those games either way but it has a big impact on SOS.
Hell, we could look at Gonzaga.
We hear the message "they can't control their conference", but they turned down a move to the MWC a few years back that would have increased their conference SOS (and the SOS of other MWC members).
They've chosen to stay in the WCC and keep their formula of trying to get early wins and then coast on cupcakes for 2 months.
Here's the problem: conference tourney wins only sometimes matter. The committee uses different criteria exclusively to justify their choices and that's problematic.
Apparently our Big XII Tourney wins didn't really mean much but other teams benefited from winning games in their conference tourneys. It has to cut both ways.
I'm big on analytics. The reason the NET was developed in the first place was to give the committee the best tool to compare different teams from different conferences.
It's not perfect but it's the fairest metric. So my message to the committee is: use it for Christ's sake!
:
The UConn board is completely up in arms as well- they say they got screwed as well- saying the same things as we are- but they say they got the best 2, 3, and 4 seed in the tournament…..

I don't see much in the chat, so I guess we're doing this here.the-boneyard.com
From that thread. Someone is more worried about a team that had close losses to good teams vs a team who has 2 wins vs the best team. What?
That’s why they call them upsets. Not saying they will upset us, however that’s why they’re upsets.
Well I guess that's why Jamie said he didn't sleep and was sick to his stomach. Fugging 1200 bucks to see us hopefully not lose to drake. My family is super impressed. No offense to JP and all who put in the work, but What a waste of money.
Those pieces of **** on the committee better go to hades for sodomizing us like that against our will. Could of at least bought us all dinner first. Complete bs.

New Teams Every Tournament in history has had at least one new tournament team. This year's new tournament teams are Stetson and Gramblin...

Unless it's called tight or something.
Devries is good and the first step will be to create foul trouble.
That’s the thing though. When comparing with other 2 seeds, the difference was quad 4 vs quad 3. It isn’t like other schools are out there playing top 25 teams every game. We just need to make a small step in competition. Maybe that means more costly buy games, and maybe that’s not worth it. But we should not be worrying about quad 3 teams in Hilton.
Drake isn’t winning their first game so they won’t even get a chance to lose to ISU.
Jamie's been on the committee for a while, right? Did he not understand how important the non-con would be prior to scheduling, or was it just a matter of being unable to schedule who we needed to improve the out-of-conference schedule?
