So St Mary's stays ranked after losing to Grand Canyon, but BYU drops out

Media polls don't matter in college basketball

Grand Canyon was better than Duquesne

If Grand Canyon was better, they should have been an 11 instead of Duquesne

And the statistical rankings/metrics would have agreed with that

BYU Fan

Yeah, it was an absolutely pathetic performance.

I don't personally rank BYU in the top 25, so I don't mind if others snub them 2

We did not even look like a top 50 team against Duquesne

Don’t lose to an 11 seed

Apr 10, 9:36am

But DO lose to a 12-seed. Got it.

If you don’t want to hear the arguments don’t ask the question.

Mr. Scoobs

I don’t know about “valid” reasons, unless you disregard all the metrics.

At some point you stop looking at metrics, and start looking at actual results

You are the one who is being selective in “the metrics”. Plenty of data out

Grand Canyon = #52 Kenpom, Duquesne = #88. St. Mary's won the WCC tourney

After the Kansas win, BYU had more struggles than St. Mary's

Imagine losing to an 11 seed in the first round and complaining about rankings.

I'm not complaining about our ranking. I'm complaining about media polls.

So, let me get this straight. After an encouraging season we flame out yet again

Roko's Basilisk

Yes.

I stop looking at polls when the tourney starts. And I look more at Kenpom, etc

Grand Canyon was better than Duquesne. They had some athletes

Croweater

Exactly. Duquesne was a bad loss on top of the loss to shorthanded TTU.
