It's all about the number of "W's". The total at the end of the year will at least get some to take a longer look then they normally do.

 

(Note: If you're looking, then you're taking notice.)

It looks like a trap game for them as we are sandwiched between Martin Methodist College and THE Falkner University.  Hopefully we can catch them looking past us .....

Just a guess that they didn't want the week of rust and thought the extra win would help pad their numbers for the NIT or CBI, but I am just as lost as to why as you are. Doesn't make any sense. A gam

I can tell you exactly why we're playing this game. Either one or both CBG or the Athletic Department believe there is a benefit to the team or our bottom line.

The only D1 team they played this year was FAU and they lost by only 12 against FAU starters.  FC counted it as an exhibition, but FAU counted it as a W.

Makes up for the Charlotte game that got cancelled earlier this season.  Will likely draw more people now anyway... also the guys could use the work.

I trust CBG and the process, so if he is for it, I can't complain. Just one of those times I have to really squint to see whatever it is they are seeing.

Here is the NET formula #3 is the reason for this game

  1. Team Value Index: It includes the opponent, whether a team won or lost and the game location. There is no scoring margin in this component.

  2. Net Efficiency: This is basically an analytic sounding term for margin of victory - pure and nearly unadulterated. It is largely a measure of an uncapped, no diminishing returns Margin of Victory. It is measured in points per possession on both offense and defense. The net is Offensive Efficiency – Defensive Effeciency. Net efficiency is calculated for each team for every game and then averaged. Statistically speaking, it correlates almost perfectly with margin of victory. So, running up the score is the second most important factor in this formula.

  3. Simple winning percentage

  4. The weighted winning percentage used in the RPI formula.

  5. Average scoring margin, with each game capped at 10. Overtime games are treated as one point results.

There is something on the first page that says this game doesn't effect our NET

You haven't heard....it is a meaningless exhibition for the mighty Florida College Falcons, but this is a very meaningful game for USF that will be the difference in making it into the postseason. 

Again, more Bulls basketball is a good thing, so long as we stay healthy and don't lose!

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."
