as i've said before i'd be surprised to see a single pac-10 team make it out of the first weekend let alone beyond that. the pac-10 is horrid.

You're looking at the espn page, huh?

Note who is #1, and then look into that player a bit, then you'll notice something.

Then do the same for the #2 player.

Then do the same for the #3 player.

Then think of the term 'qualify'.

what do you mean qualify? whats the qualifications, you said he is the nations leader in fg% and thats incorrect, and divide hardens shot attempts by his teams total.

I believe the best we can hope for is a 5 seed, however if UT puts a huge win streak together and wins the sec tourney, a 4 is within reach. I think they end up a 5 seed.

You've gotta be kidding with that first point. If not: oh ok, the nation's leading FG% shooter is Josh Cottle, Weber state, who has hit 1 shot in 1 attempt all year.

My shot% comes from the amount of shots he takes while he is ON THE COURT. When he is on the floor, he shoots 30% of their shots. Player FG ATTEMPTS / (%minutes * team FG ATTEMPTS)

um no your right thats not what im talking about. go look at stat leaders for fg% theres a guy shooting 70% from n.arizona, arinze onuauk from syracuse is also shooting a better % than penderdouche. like i said before he is not even top 5, ad no im not talking about guys with 1 or 2 shots.

This is my prediction as well. If we flounder down the streatch and let's say they go 3-3 and 1-1 in the tourney, I believe we are looking at an 8 or 9 seed, which is basically the same thing.

You're wrong again. You have to make 5 fgs per game to qualify.

Pendergraph is #1

sorry the formula does i misread that, it does come out to about 30% by that forumula. But in all he takes 25% of their shots in a game, as far as pendergraph that was incrrect though

For a guy who doesn't even know the official qualifications for ncaa fg%, i'm gonna trust my method over yours.

also you didn't do the math right. Please stop, you're embarrassing yourself.

s johansen n arizona 4.01 fg/game
r hanke providence 6.24 fg/game
k cunningham boise st 6.01fg/game
m payne uc davis 4.04fg/game
a onuaku 4.8 fg/game


so 2 of those 5 meet your bs 5fg per game requirement and have a higher fg% so YOUR WRONG.

Oklahoma and Kansas could beat anyone in the SEC.

I'd take Arizona State and UCLA against most of the SEC teams.

But I do agree to a point. From top to bottom I think the SEC is better than both.
Click to expand...

1. As has already been stated, Oklahoma was beaten by a team with 1 SEC win.

2. You put KU and UT on a neutral court and that's a completely different game. UT played KU even after the first 6 minutes or so when the Jayhawks lit it up right out of the gate.

3. UCLA hasn't beaten a ranked team all year long.

I know LSU is the SEC's only ranked team, but to add to the list of OOC games the SEC has won, UK did also add an early win over West Virginia.

Legitimately I can see UF and USC going down in the first round of the NCAAs and some people do not even have those teams in the tournament; but UK, UT, and LSU all have strong chances of making it to the Sweet 16 and with LSU's length and athleticism they could make a good amount of noise deeper into March than that.

If the SEC places 3 teams in the Sweet 16, then that will definitely stack up with the supposed power conferences we are debating.

actually the math was correct so maybe you should recalculate yours, and like i said yourformulary does comw out to 30% of his teams shots IF HES ON THE COURT,but in general he takes 25% of his teams shots through the entirety of a game.

yea i as well see that prbably usc and uf will go out 1st round, but like you said i think atleast 2 sec teams will have a good run.

And obviously ESPN the worlds sports leader hasnt heard of those requirements either since 3of their top 5 guys dont average over 5fg per game. im sure they do have certain criteria because otherwise there would be guys who are 1of1 and 100% but obviously that is not the case

By the way, last year the Big East and PAC-10 had 3 teams each in the Sweet 16, while the Big 10 and Big 12 had 2 and the ACC only had 1: As many as the SoCon and the Sun Belt.

So, when all is said and done, I believe the SEC will have at least 2 teams in the Sweet 16, making it apparent that while there is no premiere team in the conference, it's still a tough league to get through.

You're incredibly dense. Here's let's just ease the pain for you in one shot: NCAA® Statistics

That, by the way, is the OFFICIAL ncaa website.

Better luck next time.

Also re: harden: how dumb is it to take into account time when he is not on the floor? They have 10 wins by 20+ points, during how many of those games' final minutes do you think harden was in the game?

The only thing that matters is how much he shoots while he is on the floor, since...wait for it...he can't shoot when he's not.
Click on that, my god.

okay, you go with the ESPN, who covers the NCAA, and I'll go with the NCAA, who...IS the NCAA.
