should continue to push the Pack towards getting untracked.
Do they really need help jumping the rails?
🙂Thanks for the writeup. Good summary and glossary building too:
pre-tryptophan
Would you believe me if I told you that VT had an RPI of 33 prior to their loss to Appy? Or that Wake sat at #12 before their recent skid? The Pack jumped 19 spots after their narrow victory over USF (at that rate, we’ll be a #1 seed before Xmas), while the Bulls jumped from #136 to #81 after the loss.
Time to start chopping wood this week vs #40 Richmond, and #17 Boise. Ah, the joys of early season RPI watching.
Forgot to mention that FSU deserves every second of their 1-3 start after wearing the unis they wore yesterday…
Yeah, admittedly RPI or similar metrics are not worth much this early – I just like to include for conversation/interest.
Good call on the FSU jersey being reminiscent of 80’s Phillies jerseys – dead on.
Future Pack opponent Purdue currently getting worked by K-State in the first round of the Maui Invite. Cats up 20 early in the 2nd half.
Pitt gets taken down by SDSU in the Maui Invitational, and VT gets beaten soundly by No. Iowa (UNI) in the Cancun Challenge.
Some good games all around today, including The Cheats facing Butler at 12 noon today.
I’ll have a Pack-Richmond preview/game thread up soon.
Enjoy your day everyone, and please be safe if traveling.
Heh heh – welcome to the loser’s bracket, Chapel Hill 🙂
Despite getting calls (shocker) and some horrid shot selection by Butler after going up by 14 – the CheatHoles can’t capitalize.
Smaller Butler obliterated the Holes on the boards and generally outplayed the Cheats the entire game.
Suck it, Cheaters. 🙂 🙂 🙂
Andy Katz’ article had a not so subtle dig at the Holes:
“The stats don’t lie. And the mythical nature of the Butler way truly has power.”
I wish he had capitalized “Way” though.
