Iowans are so nice. Northern Iowa, Iowa State, and Iowa all rank in top 20 fewest personal fouls committed per game. ow.ly/ZdUom

- Purdue fans will be especially happy about our latest college basketball predictive ratings... ow.ly/Yvuz30gHvk4
- We calculate ratings behind the scenes for non-D1 teams that play at least 1 game vs a D1 team. We don't publish them because they're ... let's say a work in progress. Carver is 466th out of 466 teams we've rated. Their rating is -54 (26.5 points worse than the worst D1 team).Replying to @kenpomeroyThey have 3 more games on the schedule, so it's tempting to give them honorary ratings status this season. Problem is they've lost their games by an average of 56 points. They've shot 31% from 2, 22% from 3, and are averaging .57 points per poss. (Not ruling it out, though.)
- xxxx6211122111111111111 Conference rank in every season of Bill Self's career. (First 4 years, Oral Roberts was an Independent.) #kubball
- #Nebrasketball is in good shape. Biggest increase in NCAA Bid odds since yesterday (current odds to make tourney in parentheses): Nebraska: +24% (65%) NC State: +22% (78%) Temple: +9% (52%) Canisius: +5% (26%) Western Kentucky: +4% (53%) Bracketology: bit.ly/2ETfl2R
- Loyola-Chicago has a 16% chance of making the Sweet 16, the best odds of any double-digit seed. Get advancement odds for every round and team with our NCAA Bracket Picks: bit.ly/2FOO5BY
- Interesting point. If we calculate our predictive ratings without taking our preseason ratings into account, here's 0/1 loss teams in our top 25: 1 Clemson 2 Alabama 3 Notre Dame 4 BYU 👀 7 Ohio State 8 Cincinnati 12 Buffalo ❗️ 14 Coastal Carolina 15 USC 22 Ball State ‼️Replying to @rodgerThere was almost no out-of-conference play this season. Unlike past years, there's no firm evidence that (X conference) is better than (X conference.) If they leave Cincinnati out, it proves no matter what non-power conference teams do, they’ll always be viewed as second-class.
- Wondering how our bracket picks did last year? They won. A lot! Read more: bit.ly/2oO95PR
- Some really tough "perception" luck for Michigan so far. They lost to another unranked team tonight (Arizona). But yet again, that team was top 10 in our predictive ratings heading into the game. We had Arizona #7 and Michigan #11. teamrankings.com/ncaa-basketbal…Unranked in the polls ... though we had Seton Hall #8 heading into tonight. 😉

- Hiring news: Welcome @JasonLisk (former managing editor of @thebiglead) to the TeamRankings team. It only took us 19 years to hire our first full-time writer! He's working on more articles on office pools and betting (and if he has his way, 6 posts a day on the Chiefs).
- Great question. Over the last 5 years we have 1103 "3rd games" in our database. Looking at the performance of the teams favored by our power ratings in the 3rd game, split by their record in the first two games ... It looks like *mostly* a myth.
@kenpomeroy what’s the accuracy in the statement “well you can’t beat the same team three/four times?” ... just prepping for conference and tourney play - St. John's covered by 46. Only bigger cover margin in our DB is 46.5 (LaSalle +15.5 beat Xavier by 31 in Jan 2000).It’s shocking, but it’s not THAT shocking. Syracuse has been wobbly all year. It’s definitely shocking though. Shocking, I say.
