Jan. 29-30: Robert Morris at Wright State
A big gut-check game for one of the newest members of the Horizon League in the Robert Morris Colonials. Going up against the top team in the conference isn’t easy for anyone, but going there and playing two games on consecutive days is even worse. The Wright State Raiders don’t back down to anyone in the conference, and they definitely won’t back down to the newest team in the conference coming on their home court. Robert Morris comes to the Horizon League off a good final season in the NEC, racking up a 13-5 record in conference, although in a noticeably weaker conference. They’ll have to rely on Horizon League preseason second team guard A.J. Brahma if they want to pass their first true test in the new conference.

131. Northern Kentucky – 1-0, buy game winBefore you read any further, understand what it is that you are looking at. This is simply a measurement of CURRENT MERIT. Nothing more. I am making no attempt whatsoever to rank teams based on how good I actually believe them to be, and I’m certainly not trying to make any predictions of what the NCAA Tournament will look like in March. If that is what you’re looking for, then look elsewhere.
I am asking myself one question. How difficult is it to win the games that teams have won? I am not asking myself at all how good I think any teams are at the moment. Do I believe that Montana State is better than Duke? Of course not. Do I think winning at UNLV is more difficult than beating Coppin State home? Yes. That’s why when looking at current merit, Montana State is ahead.
I do it this way because that I feel that as an exercise, it gets me in the habit of objectively looking at teams and not ranking teams based on assumption. I also do it this way because…well…this is simply how I like to do it…
So, here is how it looks. It is admittedly ridiculous. It also only reflects games played prior to today. When I do this next week after the number of games that have been played have doubled, it will look a lot different.
