That was our 11th Quad 1 win

[JustBlue]

And 20 of our 32 games have been Quad 1

 

[crawfords corner]

Only 5 teams have won 10 or more Q1 games and 3 of them are in the SEC. Bama, Auburn, Kentucky, Michigan St, and Houston

Someone telling me if UK wins the SECT they arent a 2 seed? Long way to go obviously, but itd be hard to deny us.

*UK beats Bama we'd have 1 more more Q1 loss than them

Too bad we lost Butler again. It was an uphill climb even with him, but beating Bama, probably Florida and Auburn back to back to back, is pretty much the longest of shots now.

That’s an insane schedule.

You mean facing an NCAA 2 seed, followed by back to back NCAA 1 seeds? Yeah, I'd say so too. We're officially into what would be an elite 8 of a grinder in the NCAA, if not worse lol.

That’s the most Quad 1 games that anyone has played this year, if I am not mistaken.

Butler didn’t really impact that game all that much though. Only played 8 minutes 2 pts 3 assists. Good news we still were able to get out to that lead. And we likely win going away with a fair whistle.

I struggle with us being below St Johns.
But one argument is we are 12-10 against quad1+quad 2.
They are 15-4.

I guess the question is, how good are those 15 wins. Are they on the razor edge of quad 1? Or if they are just average, some good, some not, all those Top Top wins we have should be the deciding factor.

SJU is 5-4 in Q1 and undefeated in Q2.

Their best win is either @UCONN or home vs. Marquette. They lost to Baylor, UGA, Creighton and a highly mediocre Villanova.

SJU played the 44th toughest schedule. UK played the 4th toughest schedule.

SJU has more wins and fewer losses, but nowhere bear the quality wins we have. They have zero top 10 wins.

I also have a big problem with this. Quad 1 wins are supposed to matter more than most other games.

 

[UKWildcats1987]

We will be a 3 seed for sure.

Please for the love of God keep Butlers status a mystery until after the selection show. Say he's day to day or something, even if he's really out for year.

Quad 1 records:

Auburn: 15-4
Houston: 11-3
UK: 11-9

We need to win tonight to get another top 10 win.

Granted. But, anyone can play a tough schedule and lose games. Me playing by myself can lose to Auburn. That's not impressive. Losing to Vanderbilt and Arkansas at home is even less impressive. Not losing should be factored, if it's against good teams. IF, IF, St John's went 10-0 against good Quad 2 teams that were closer in quality to say Vanderbilt than Providence, it warrants consideration. I'm not saying that's true, but people act like beating Duke and Tennessee is all that should matter.

I would say a few SJU Q2 wins were pretty solid. The rest are borderline Q3.

New Mexico, Kansas State, Creighton, Nova, Xavier, @Providence, @DePaul, @ Butler, @Georgetown, Butler (Big East tourney).

That’s two tournament teams (New Mexico and Creighton) a last 4 in type bubble team (Xavier) and several NIT teams.

UK is 1-1 in Q2 games: home win over Vandy. Home loss to Arkansas. Both are tournament teams.

These resumes are hard to compare because of the strength of the conferences. Big East is mediocre at best this year and the SEC has been an absolute meat grinder.

It's crazy, the SEC-T will have 15 games. 13 of those 15 will be Quad 1 wins!!!

The ACC-T will have just 4 Quad 1 wins.
The Big East-T will have 4 Quad 1 wins.
The Big 12-T will have 8 Quad 1 wins.
The Big 10-T will have 8 Quad 1 wins.
