I don’t think so

Taylor played toward the end of the first half.

Did anybody see tolu on the bench? And if so, was he still in a boot?

Tolu was on the bench today. Only an upper body camera shot so didn’t see if he was wearing a boot. But he was wearing a boot in our last game against UNA.

I heard Purcell talking yesterday in response to a question about the NCAA tournament about NET and if I understood him correctly, margin of victory was a consideration.

Is that correct and if so how is that factored on who gets in or on seeding?

I really like this team. Do many different ways to attack. The SEC is stacked this year but we should make some noise.

Definitely more fun watching them than this football game

You mean, The Sheriff.

If I’m remembering right, originally it was a factor up to ten points, so you wanted to win by at least ten but there wasn’t a difference in winning by 10 and winning by 50. Not sure if anything has changed in the last couple years

The five factors behind the NCAA's NET ranking system

Get ready to hear a lot about team value index, net efficiency, winning percentage, adjusted win percentage and scoring margin.

looks like there are also some efficiency metrics that I didn’t know about

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

I’m pretty sure they eliminated the scoring margin one. Or at least the 10+ point margin one.

We are #18 in KenPom, which is the best metric IMO
