College Hoops Around The Country [TN opponents, RPI, others]

Sadly the show he’s running isn’t one that jumps off the stat sheet. His father may not be the coach there long after jr leaves.

Brings to mind Alan and Wade Houston. . . .

If we do shoot a ton of 3’s all year, we will have a game or two like this and a portion of our fan base will completely melt down. Unable to understand the basic math and variance around shooting percentages.

You called it

You called it

Yep lol. And perhaps in the one of the few games you can’t afford it lol.

It is scary how quickly that “can’t shoot to save your life” game came after we talked about it this week. Apparently we just willed that happening into existence by talking about it.

I know the drive by criticism is always out when we lose, but I don’t recall us taking a bunch of bad shots. SV hit several but he missed a bunch that looked good when they left his hands. Bailey, Powell, and JJJ missed a ton of open 3’s. Your completely right as it’s just the nature of taking long jump shots

Marquette getting smoked

 

[golfballs]

Refs are playing defacto mercy rules for Marquette. Gave St Bonny a T for a routine dunk except that it was when they were up by 30

anyone else see Clemson get T’d up for having 6 players on the court? Basically cost them the game. Don’t think I’ve ever seen that before

That is how it was enforced a long time ago. For the last couple of decades the refs won’t put the ball in play and tell them that they have 6 on the floor and somebody needs to sit down.

Lots of games today. 4 are in Maui starting at 2pm on ESPN2.

@golfballs , does your "gambling system" have any locks for any of these early basketball games, today ?

Sorry didn’t have time to refresh the data

Down 5 w almost 5 min left. Are their odds really only 15%?

I went with Melo to get a double/double and it's looking great. What about tomorrow ?

With #4 Michigan losing and us playing #5 Villanova and potentially #6 Purdue, we have the chance to be a 4-0 top 5 team after this weekend

;t
I heard we dropped to #20 Don't know I it is true.

Not sure, but went up to 15 in one poll

 

[The Dog]

17th in the USA/Coaches poll, so NO

I assume it’s a pretty simple algorithm based on historical data

#14 Illinois lost to unranked Cincinnati

It is. But the degree of precision they imply by displaying a tenth of a percent? The margin of error has to be much higher than that.

It's early, obviously, but the Pac-12 looks to be the best they've been in decades while the Big Ten and ACC are reeling compared to years past. The SEC, meanwhile, should comfortably get 7 teams into the tournament.

The PAC-12 was clearly the best league when it mattered last season. That's no surprise.

Carolina fans are already freaking out that they choose Hubert Davis over Wes Miller due to Cincinnati's early success.

It’s good to see these guys finding success in their new homes. Particularly happy for Gaines. George Mason almost added another P5 win last night. Lost to Washington by 3.
