One more win from PSU and things will be very interesting on selection Sunday even if they lose the final . Very weird resume

They absolutely have to win tomorrow to have a chance IMO. A loss would put them in the territory of perhaps having the worst RPI to ever make it as an at-large bid. It's weird because they have fantastic metrics, relatively speaking for a bubble team. 31 in KP, 28 in BPI, 40 in Sagarin. They just have a really, really weak resume. 81 in RPI, 63 in SoR, and 69 in KPI. The first set of numbers suggest they'd be a lock, the 2nd set of numbers suggest they'd be a 2 seed in the NIT.

Yep. Like I said. Weird resume. A win tomorrow and they may finish with 4 Top 25 RPI wins and 6 Q1 wins but still have a amRPI in the 60s

If they win tomorrow that will only give them their 4th Q1 win(Ohio State x3, and Purdue). That's still a solid number, but I don't think they'd be a lock or anything, because they only have 2 Q2 wins to back up those Q1 wins.

I thought Q1 was 75 or higher? Guess I'm still learning

1-30 for home win
1-50 for neutral court win
1-75 for road win.

On paper, MSU should win this game, but Michigan might match up well.

A win I think puts them in Dayton. Loss makes them NIT bound IMO.

yeah im hard pressed to believe joe that they are in with loss today......

PSU's metrics(KenPom, BPI, and Sagarin) are significantly better than Bama's. If PSU doesn't win today, Bama has a better resume IMO. There's a difference between metrics and resume.

I was just showing Eric some love. Lunardi didn't have them on his radar as of Thursday
