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

Jase Richardson of Michigan State is a pretty good Freshman player..

Vanderbilt playing hard at at Reed Arena.
Giving A&M all they want. Up 32-27.
They really need this win more and they playing like it.

Clemson is now doing in basketball what they have done for many years in football. They bully weak opponents to give themselves a false confidence that they carry into against more major opponents in the postseason. Dabo was the king of it and now Brownell looks to do the same

They must take the same vitamins.

 

[Anti-shunshinepumper]

Vandy going to win. If they win, out I wonder if they could get that NET up high enough for us to pick up a QUAD 1 win off that last win against them?
Too lazy to do the math right now....

Anywho, time to hopefully watch Kentucky get whooped @ Oklahoma.

Edit: These damn games running over smh....
Something is going to have to be done.
It's to the point where fans are missing up to 10 mins or more of first half. That's 25 % of the game ffs

 

[hUTch2002]

The RPI included the opponent’s winning percentage and opponent’s opponent’s winning percentage. The NET does not. The RPI had flaws, too.

The NET does have some component of strength of schedule as part of their Team Value Index. Also includes record and where the game is located. Losing a road game is better than losing a home game.

As I said, there is an efficiency component, so something like KenPom is influential. The NET is both results-driven and predictive, which does make it a nice mix.

The quads come out of the index, so you can’t ask why one team is higher with less Q1 wins. The rankings are how you get the quads.

Just looking at it, Duke is first in efficiency and has not lost at home. They played a tough non conference schedule, so it must have been good enough.

I get it but they’re getting more credit for whipping mediocre teams than Auburn is for winning against better teams. That seems flawed to me but Auburn and the SEC is something we’ve not seen before with the overall conference strength and Auburn having a shot at 20 Quad 1 wins.

Something needs to be done about the last 2 minutes of a college basketball game taking 20+ minutes in real time. It's getting worse.

Absolutely freaking ridiculous.
I don't see any possible way something isn't done in the off season.
This Vandy/A&M game is especially ridiculous.
UK/OU will almoat literally be at half by the time this game is done. smh

10 second run off lol

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

Inside of 2 minutes, when in the double bonus give the free throws AND the ball to the team that was fouled.

 

[VolCalls]

A&M in a free fall. 3 losses in a row and their next two are Florida & Auburn. Ouch.

Yep....people were talking about brutal schedules but I think a lot forgot how brutal their schedule to finish the season was.

 

[vols 30]

Stop letting teams huddle up after a player has fouled out

 

[vols 30]

A Vandy/A&M football game would take less time

Imagine having money on this Vandy/OU game

 

[Anti-shunshinepumper]

I have never seen anything as dumb as this.
At this rate the game that is supposed to be on will be over before this one.
......finally over but they got to show the hand shakes

 

[vol94]

Stop letting teams huddle up after a player has fouled out

Exactly. When did this become the norm? Maybe I’m wrong but iirc, a coach had about one minute to replace the player.

Now, I’m referring to the 80s and 90’s…

Clemson is now doing in basketball what they have done for many years in football. They bully weak opponents to give themselves a false confidence that they carry into against more major opponents in the postseason. Dabo was the king of it and now Brownell looks to do the same

And they complain incessantly because they aren’t ranked any higher than they are. Most of the teams they beat are NIT teams and some don’t have winning records.
According to them, all the SEC positive pub is a big conspiracy.

 

[VolCalls]

The best thing about the length of time it took to finish that game is the enormous number of pissed off UK fans who couldn’t watch their game without an SEC Network+ subscription.

 

[Anti-shunshinepumper]

KY fans consistently complain about their team getting called for a lot of fouls but refuse to believe it is because they are bad on defense/out of position and commit a lot of fouls

 

[BowlBrother85]

A Vandy/A&M football game would take less time

That game took 2 hours and 38 minutes to play because there were 52 combined fouls called (an absurd total in a 40 minute regulation college basketball game) with 75 combined free throws attempted. By comparison, the average NBA regulation game only takes 2 hours and 25 minutes, and they play 48 minute games. Nice job, refs.

 

[Anti-shunshinepumper]

Good Gawd, horrible D by KY to finish the half.
Both these teams look bad tonight.
Be a battle of who wants it less.

Here comes Dane Bradshaw to tell us the obvious

I have a hard time buying their hype until they play someone real. And all their big wins this year have been on their home floor Duke, UNC, Kentucky

 

[The Dog]

Tobe Awaka has really been playing well, lately. Double figures in 6 out of the last 7 and 7 out of 9, with 4 double/doubles and tonight's game is not over. If it wasn't for that goose egg with 4 boards against Houston in 15 minute and a 2 point, 4 rebound game against Arizona St., it would be even better.

Steve Forbes is about to get himself fired.
