No USC game thread yet?

The thing about the BPI is that it's supposed to take into account when a team is missing key players by counting those games less, so if anything I would expect our BPI to be even higher than our RPI. I found some general guidelines on how BPI is determined but I'm yet to find a detailed formula on how they actually come up with the BPI numbers for each team.

I think ESPN considers it proprietary and doesn't want us to know.
 
Should be up by more than 8 but i'll take it. Now please don't come out and let USC immediately erase our lead.
 
Given the number of TOs by USC (and their general sucktitude) ... an 8 point lead ain't getting it done. We sure as hell better come out en fuego at the start of the 2nd ... or this game will have the great potential to royally piss me off :bang: (and likely shorten my life).

I think CU was 3.5 point favorites in the paper this morning.

Just saw you were referencing a person who I don't know so doubt my numbers are correct.

Too low IMO. I get we're the road team, but I think it should be atleast 5.
 
Need to be up bigger than this. Jhop is playing really well.
I think having xj pick up 2 cheap ones early hurt the flow early on
 
Uncharacteristically large number of fouls for CU, but the refs are fine. Seems like we have more than seven turnovers. Eight points is a nice lead on the road, but it easily could be double that.
 
Okay ... XJ, Scott, Talton, and Gordon all have 2 fouls each for us. For USC, Haley, Bryan, and Jovanovic have 2 each. I'd have to say we're potentially in more foul trouble than they are and have to be careful especially early in the 2nd ... or we're going to have key players sitting on the bench for some key minutes.

Agreed, not sure why we have so many fouls against $C.
 
Thomas needs to get his head into the game and slow it down. In one sequence he committed an unforced TO then went back and committed a dumb foul. That's a 4 point swing right there. Those things add up. He was doing similar stuff against UCLA.

Agreed. He's got at least 2 to's.I think the entire team has 6

It's b/c fouls that haven't been called fouls for 6 weeks are all the sudden fouls again. They're calling all of the restricting movement fouls on the perimeter and in the post.

Does this have anything to do with Tad's comment earlier this week?
