His replies on twitter are amazing:

questioning Lunardi on 1/11/19 - "care to explain how Creighton is in and Temple is out?"

questioning Seth Davis' top 25 1/13/19 - "Then why is St John's in with 3 losses?"

questioning bracketville who says st john's has good games left in Big East 1/13/19 - "but really do they have many more chances? @ Butler, @Creighton, @ Duke, @ Marquette and Nova at home are really their only group 1 games left. With most of those on the road"

to BracketguyDave 1/3/19 - "What ceiling seed do you give Houston, Cincy, and UCF? Also, how close is USF to the top 100 right now?"

It really is amazing!!

Lol, really? Twisting the knife for St. John's fans after we had a really bad week?

Notice how even after the Johnnies obtained a lot of success one week ago, none of us went on Twitter to troll AAC teams? Notice how after the DePaul loss, none of us went on Twitter to troll AAC teams? None of us EVER troll AAC teams... aside from sometimes UConn due to them being a regional rival. You are fighting a one man war, and your personality is exactly the same no matter how we perform. Good to know.

but focusing on just the 1 bottom team can be a joke...
SEC- 13/14 teams are in the top 85.
ACC- 13/15 teams are in the top 90
P12- 10/12 teams are in the top 125
AAC- 10/12 teams are in the top 127

What does this even mean?

ALL of the BE teams are in the top 101.

How dare you question the statmaster!

I think the parity and balance is really good for the league. No one is an easy out, and every game can honestly go either way. We can argue bids and seeds all day - no one knows anything until Selection Sunday. However, I think the depth of the league will immensely help our teams that do get into the tournament, regardless of seed. Our bids will inevitably be battle-tested and able to compete against anyone. Look at the NET bottom of the other major conferences:

Big 12: West Virginia (96)
Big East: Georgetown (101)
B1G: Illinois (125)
SEC: South Carolina (133)
ACC: Wake Forest (192)
PAC: California (227)
A10: George Washington (279)
AAC: Tulane (305)
MWC: Wyoming (307)
WCC: Portland (310)

Every team in the Big East has a winning record in mid-January, an accomplishment that no other major conference can claim. When you have ten teams that are all competitive enough that they can win in any given night, you have something really special.

but focusing on just the 1 bottom team can be a joke...
SEC- 13/14 teams are in the top 85.
ACC- 13/15 teams are in the top 90
P12- 10/12 teams are in the top 125
AAC- 10/12 teams are in the top 127

the other thing is that with those 4 conferences- you aren't guaranteed to see the 1-2 bad teams a 2nd time. I know UCF and Cincy don't play either Tulane or ECU 2x. Houston and Temple avoid one of the 2 bad teams a 2nd time.

The problem that the depth of the league does is that it tags everyone with a lot of extra losses. So when you get to the tourney, you're in that 7-10 pit of misery. OK, maybe Villanova and Marquette avoid that. But the others? They're square in that 7-10 and having to see a team like Virginia, Tennessee, Duke, Michigan, Michigan St in the 2nd round. Good luck with that.

Also who gives a rip about winning records right now? When you have teams like DePaul and St John's scheduling like crap, that's going to happen.

You can spin the stats however you like; unfortunately, it looks like Seth Davis, Jon Rothstein, and Bracketville, Joe Lunardi and others view league's balance as a strength, not a weakness, like in your eyes. And winning teams get into postseason - having each of the team's with winning records is a plus. Statmasters like yourself surely know this.

Other conferences can have nights off in conference play. The B1G has four teams that are at the bottom: Illinois, Northwestern, Penn State and Rutgers. The ACC has four: Wake Forest, Clemson, Boston College and Miami. Games like that are circled because you can still win without playing your best. Marquette needed over 50 points from Markus Howard just to beat Creighton this year. No game is a gimme. Providence, who is winless in Big East play, got to 2OT against Georgetown. This will surely be the most entertaining and exciting league since reorganization (not to mentioned the BET). Only a pessimist and doomsdayer would view it otherwise.
