I also loved the fact that Davis chides pollsters for "group think" when it comes to dropping teams solely because they lose but then proceeds to drop Pitt from 13th the week before to out of his rankings for a home loss to a (ranked?) Notre Dame.

You'll also note that I did not drop Miami too far for the loss at Wake Forest. Let me tell you, Wake Forest is not a bad team. They're no worse than Maryland, which beat Duke last weekend.

Wouldn't it follow then that MD and WF should both be in if not much separates them from highly ranked Miami?

Think it was definitely because he was inundated with Terps mail after he refused to rank us. He was right at the time, and I defended him for awhile, but LOL @ not letting it go, eventually. The good thing is that CBB is actually flooded with good writers, commentators, and studio hosts in the mainstream so he's fairly easily ignored.

Might it also be bitterness over the Terps leaving the ACC?

I liked Seth Davis earlier in the year too (and I thought he was right about not being sold on us early on), but now he has just become annoying. Sorry that not every coach can walk off the floor like Brad Stevens with absolutely no emotion after a big win. Coaches are humans too.

Dumbest thing he's said this year, which is saying a lot.

Only two games to really keep an eye on for tonight:
Kansas at Iowa State (Lunardi has Iowa State has a 10-seed but they still have work left to do. They still have to travel to Oklahoma and face OK State at home.)
Villanova at Seton Hall (Nova is probably on the right side of the bubble right now, but a loss to SH would certainly change that.)

seth used to be the man (and i know close with gary), but yeah i dunno what his problem has been. i know he likes turgeon, but that jab at him was unnecessary. comparing MD to wake is absurd. also his "last five in" and "first five out" are pretty hilarious. just picking the randomest of random teams.

the thing is if MD wants to be a part of the NCAA tourney, they should beat both teams on the road no matter who is coming off a win/loss/etc.

I try to stay away from bracket predictions until conference championship week, but I looked at Yahoo's today and it has Indiana St and St Johns ahead of us. How is that even possible?

Yup. If they win these 2 they're on the right side of the bubble 7 days from now. But that's a ginormous if.

It's impossible to say this for sure. The next two wins are meaningless from a quality standpoint. The only way they jump ahead of teams this week is if those teams suffer bad losses.

question- how is charlotte even close to getting in at 6-6 in A10 and 18-8 overall? Jerry palm's bracket right now has 7 A10 teams in. WTF is that...i seriously hate mid majors sometimes
Edit: I can see how charlotte is on the bubble, but no way they should be ahead of us imo. Straight bs to think 7 A10 teams could get in. Sorry for the rant

This is pretty awesome. Crystal ball tracker tells you how your team can boost their RPI for the day. For Maryland, we're rooting for South Carolina State, UMES and Delaware State.

Also the two teams with the longest current 20+ loss season streaks in Division I (11 straight 20+ loss seasons for UMES, 10 for Howard).
