Might be old news to many, but this one is fun to watch -- it changes daily on results

Hope I did this right. Click on Gonzaga link for more fun.
All our OOC games are starting to help, at least on this ranking site. We're right on the Gayles rear and closing fast. Then again, not sure I want to be on Gayle's rear.

12% win probabilty versus Memphis and 34.3% at St. Marys. I like being the underdog, but come on.

12% at Memphis might be a legit probability, although I'd like to believe they have a better chance than that. 34.3% at St. Mary's is a joke. I wish I was a betting man.

thought this was going to be about the Waves coach leaving...

[VinnyZag]

the key part is AT St. Mary's. I don't think that's outrageous.
The probability for the game in Spokane is just about the opposite.

Lothar, sorry to let you down, but at 200+ on the Power Rankings, he should have left.

At St. Mary's

Traditionally, home court advantage only gives a better 6 points. So, we must be a dog at home too by those numbers right???? I don't know that there is much science involved here.

Their giving St. Mary's 34.7% at Gonzaga and giving Gonzaga 34.3% at St. Mary's. Their actually saying that St. Mary's has a better shot to win on the road at Gonzaga than Gonzaga does at St. Mary's. I'm sorry but that's freakin' ridiculous.

Hence the title...

It's not objective at all. It's entirely based on the stats. Take it with a grain of salt because it is reliant on statistics that change daily. Which isn't to say that one should not give any credence to this site or kenpom or other statheads; many of their findings are revealing in a way that purely subjective (the human eye) point of view can never be.

Idah, you are on the mark - this is purely a computer generated stat track -- today will change all the data again. It is a betting man's bible
