It is possible that a Paladin tournament championship would require victories over the #1. #3, and #4 ranked teams by KenPom. Liberty is #66, Wichita State is #109 and St. Louis is #128. Furman is 2nd at #96. How many tournaments match #1 and #2 against each other in the first round?
Looks like a bracket designed to benefit Charleston.
Wow; no kiddin' . The good news is if we can run that gauntlet we'll be a certified beast.

Will be interesting to see how Vegas views the point spread of this game...
Espn’s chance of FU winning has gone up a little to 28.6%.
I don’t know my way around betting sites but am seeing some that favor Furman by 5 points. Then ESPN favors Liberty at 71%.PaladinPower wrote: ↑Wed Nov 15, 2023 7:27 amI'm expecting Liberty to be favored by 2-3 points. Should be a fantastic game.
In the simplest terms possible, how are these early-season odds and predictions generated when there is very little historical data to go on? Is it just a guessing game?

Educated guess, maybe sometimes more educated than others
ESPN had the Celtics at a 97% chance to beat the Heat last year and they lost. 85% chance to win the Finals the year before.
