Hmmm. Wow--ESPN resorting to tricky math to not put us on top of the conference standings. Attachments:

It is not tricky math at all. We are at a .700 clip. Nova is at .714.

Sure. I'd accept that--even support it. But when we were 6-3, we were 0 games back. Then we won and they moved us a negative half game back. Seems odd...

Either way, that have the better winning percentage. I hate ESPN more than most, but this one is a reach.

Th paranoia bit was a joke.
Mostly making fun of their algorithm for conference standings and calculating games back.

It's all about the Loss Column isn't it?

Can we slow down with this ESPN stuff? They don't air us so they don't talk about us, but that's the entire big east its not some Georgetown conspiracy. We're not in 1st place in the big east thus we shouldn't be listed first.

Win games and the rest doesn't matter. I'm a bit paranoid and bipolar too (I'm a Georgetown guy) but I think we can beat Nova on their floor too. Beat who we should beat and take out Nova at home and the standings will write the commentary.

Do the ESPN records include the "pre-Big East" game against Butler? If so, that should be removed
