I’m on it. 

Speaking of time travel, I see that some folks decided to update their vote on the poll for this thread post-choke...

Apparently 4 people think we're not even good enough for the NIT.

You can be mad about it, but the same happened to us. 

Michigan would not have been a Q1 win (earlier in the season) if we had beat them in the tourney. 

Probably not true. That's what some people said on BTN, but the RPI predictor said they would be 30th, which still would have been a quad 1 win, albeit barely.

Looks like Fuller should’ve just stayed at Nebraska. At least he’d have a chance to go dancing...

Not mad about it, its just a quirk in the process.

And yes, the same thing happened w/ us and Michigan.

Some very, very contradicting s#!t from Lunardi lately. Check twitter.

This part has bugged me a lot with Oklahoma.  If you actually look at their resume, their best non conference wins rank like this:

1. @ Wichita State - really good road neutral site win

2. USC - they are on the bubble

3. Oregon - they won't make the tournament

4. Northwestern - they were terrible this year

just a slight technicality fix.

Yes, he sounds like me making arguments now. (Non-RPI/Q1 believer)

But we only lost to kansas by 1!

but we only lost to Ohio state by 5!

but we only lost to Illinois and Penn state because of flukes!

This says it was played at Charles Koch Arena, which is on Wichita State's campus.  :dunno

Regardless, Oklahoma is in the tournament. I hope they lose the first day.

Eh, I guess I don't see it.  Someone asked him what part of Michigan State's resume had them ahead of Michigan.  He gave a snarky - but true - answer that they finished ahead of them in the B1G, which is one part of having a better season.

Honestly, I would love to see Nebraska vs Oklahoma in the first four.

On Oklahoma's RPI page, ESPN has the game clearly listed as an away game, not neutral site.

ESPN = fake news ?  :confucius

When comparing two teams in the same conference, I would think that would be one way to determine who's had the better year.
