[quote=“49or bust, post:58, topic:26609”]That is not what I was saying. That was not the point of the bet. The point of the bet was who would have the better SEASON. And that would be us.

Not according to the NCAA and every ranking system they use to help pick tourny teams.

Sagarin
ECU #141
UNCC #149

Pomeroy
ECU #130
UNCC #153[/quote]
If all you care about is the RPI. But the RPI is not all-knowing.

Well they all say we had a the better year. These two factor in margin of victory.

We still beat you. Convincingly. At your place.

Move on.

Time to fess up. Which one of you keeps pretending to be the dumbass ECU fan?

except for, you know, actual win totals and head to head match ups. But sure, you can keep your RPI. Hang a banner.

SJ, what does an EZU fan know about playing basketball in March? That’s like a Duke fan talking about playing football in January.

:)) That’s good stuff right there.

Not even close. Duke football has had a lot more success than ECU basketball, see their two Rose bowls, two Orange bowls, and a Sugar Bowl on the resume.

Hell, they even hosted a Rose Bowl!

Our RPI & Pomeroy would be higher if there were a penalty for games against Non-D1 foes, StillJonesing. You still have yet to give a good reason for playing one, much less four games against a lower division.

It’s embarrassing. I guess MLB teams should start playing games against AAA affiliates of other MLB teams to pad their records.

We also have a strong SOS (105) than ECU (112), and that ?doesn’t ? include D2 games.

[quote=“StillJonesing, post:56, topic:26609”]If you really think you had the better team by March you are kidding yourself. Last year was another example of how a good coach takes a team with new faces and improved as the year went on. We peaked in March again, not early December, which is when I want to be playing our best ball. You had a 110 spot lead mid season, and almost a 40 RPI spot lead with 2 weeks left just to give you an idea of what directions the teams were going in the big picture. With basically everyone coming back there is plenty of reason for hope about next year and expect the way we improved and finished to carry over.

This is the same post you had in 2011. How did that turn out for you?[/quote]

Pathetically. So was him disappearing for 4 months after he lost at home to Charlotte, [size=3]76-64[/size]. As is him coming back at the end of the season, using the same talking points he used before the season, even though his team had a losing record.

Rivals gave Guilmette 3 stars today. I bring it up because after we beat you guys on him this fall, your fans downed his recruiting rankings even though he had 20+ fall offers, including your own. He’s highly ranked every where now (87 ESPN), and he‘s 6-11, 230 according to his coach now. For Major to have a big man rep, he sure hasn’t brought in much big man help.

Have you tried telling ecu fans this amazing news so that maybe they will care because we sure as hell don’t.

Normmm and I agree on something. Case closed.
