Penn giving 'Nova a game, would be a nice win for our SOS. Penn's only current other loss is to KSU.

Hey, Penn beat Villanova, lost to number 25 KSU by the same number of points we beat them by. St.Louis beat Seton Hall (not a bad team, lost to Kentucky by only 1 point) and Butler (which makes some top 30-35 lists) by more than they beat us by. I just can't go as negative as a couple of posters here have as of yet.
This season could go any way. We've got some tough opponents coming up. St.Louis and Penn may be better than advertised. Who knows at this point.

Who knows at this point. Seton Hall beat Kentucky actually, so that even furthers your argument. Did not realize KState had fallen down to #25 though. |

Penn's win over 'Nova moved us up 5 spots in NET. This looks like our "signature win" so far.

Seriously for a second, as stupid as it sounds "Signature losses" in today's computer rankings world are a real thing. Washington has a "Signature loss" on the road to Gonzaga. That loss improved Washington's computer ranking.
Now, St. Louis isn't on the same tier as the Zags, but not getting blown out on the road counts for something. Losses to Tier 1 teams are basically ignored during selection time. Missouri (neutral court, current NET 104) would have to finish Top 50 and St. Louis (road, current NET 73) would have to finish Top 75 in NET to be a Tier 1 loss.
