Would that even be enough to keep us out? We were in as an 8/9 with 22 wins in a couple seasons. And that was as AAC and losing 1st round of conference tourney.

For the people that dive into all the metrics. What is the difference from last year compared to this year far as our quality wins. Last year we were 22-2 and not listed as a top 4 seed. We beat Xavier, @Iowa State, @Houston, and SMU. This year we will most likely be a top 4 seed when they release the info on Sunday. Is it because the quadrant 1 & 2 wins like everyone is talking about? We are 11-2. What were we last year?

How we are 11-2. Was last year not the same?

Last year 3 for 7 for column 1 and 3 for 4 column 2. Total 6 for 11.

I think right now we are like 12 for 14 total or something like that. 12-2 much better than 6-5.

Columns are the old method, Groups are the new method.

Last year:
3-2 in Column 1, 4-0 in Column 2.
4-2 in Group 1, 3-0 in Group 2.

This year:
4-2 in Column 1, 6-0 in Column 2.
4-2 in Group 1, 7-0 in Group 2.

So the Group system helps a little, but we also have quite a few more quality wins overall.

Edit: This is just RPI resume. Our other metrics like Kenpom are way better this year.

I thought group and column was synonymous...lol. I looked at a team sheet from last year and it included conference tourney. In that particular sheet we were 3-4. Of course we lost to SMU in the finals.

Are those games on team sheets?

The numbers I gave are through week 14. Last season's full season numbers will look different. But yes, the conference tournament games will show up on the team sheets. I'm not sure how much they get considered though, since the committee will have already started deliberating by then.
