Interesting site. Has a bracketology predictor function.

1. Open the site.
2. Click on UNLV.
3. Click Teamcast ( in this function you can insert teams and project a win loss. It will show where your team projects for the NCAA Tourney. You can also pick any game in the schedule and change the win/loss. The program will then take that into consideration and project what the NCAA Tourney seed could have been. )

If you are in to this type of stuff it's fun to play around with.

Don’t it is depressing, but in general the Air Force loss hurt more than the other two, Southern is worse than LMU. This makes sense since NET is efficiency based and AFA killed bout our O and D efficiency ratings. But the St Mary’s and Utah State losses hurt even more in terms of tourney profile. There is also a stat page and it shows that our offense has been pretty much the same for start of the season to now but our defense has improved. So it pretty much lines up with what we all see.

There is also a player page and really show how well Thomas has played this year.

Quick question, does player availability count for anything? With Boones both out for Southern and one out for LMU does that make a difference in selection discussions?

Great site.

It's borderline inexcusable that poor losses to Southern, LMU, and AFA occurred. Without those three games, we would be considered a lock at this point to make the tourney, especially with zero bad loss opportunities moving forward.

Kudos for the turnaround so that we can even be having these conversations, but what a giant missed opportunity for the team and program.
