Recruiting Football Talk VII

[Orangeburst]

Tarheels are good..

The FTs will be crazy lopsided. I just hope Vescovi can go without getting his 1st foul in the 1st 3-4 minutes. He needs to show up and ZZ has to play solid

We consistently see teams with lower kenpom rankings best teams with higher rankings.

Just like you consistently see unranked teams beat ranked teams. You also see teams who are underdogs in Vegas beating the favorites. Upsets happen every day in college basketball. I cannot fathom why you think that's a good argument.

I read roll vols somewhere earlier today and it really confused me. I just needed to tell someone.

I hope we changed defensive strategies and guards aren’t hanging out in the paint leaving shooters open around the arch

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Ole Miss

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Thanks coach.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

I hope we changed defensive strategies and guards aren’t hanging out in the paint leaving shooters open around the arch

I hope we see the whole team play a complete game

Auburn giving Ole Miss the business

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Who was the team that was down 11 with like 70 seconds left and won the other day?

 

[Orangeburst]

Well, I got the joke but I don't know if anyone else did. Each of them should have had a sack of Krystals before the game. Then no one would have wanted to get near them.

I thought it was Gold. Only explanation I have is everyone has me on ignore, which is highly possible.

Meh, didnt cut the mustard. . .

I’m not sure what your point is. If every higher KenPom team beat lower ranked teams, Vegas wouldn’t exist. It’s a predictive metric but not perfect. It’s based on efficiency. For instance, a PPG stat means nothing if you play a fluff schedule. KenPom is adjusted for your schedule.

 

[jakez4ut]

Agreed. But they aren't far enough ahead of Auburn. They'll wind up making it a game.

Or just blowing them out... Jeez. You get auburn down... You better stand on their neck.

 

[Devo182]

Houston - Kansas

Duke - UNC

Home court advantage once again is MASSIVE. These home teams are just whiffing past their equals, at home.

Let's hope we can break the trend.

Voyard-Tadal was 1 of the 3 that did our Purdue game. Hopefully, he’s better tonight than that.

I dunno why all the huff and puff by the NCAA about NIL, the NIL era started super strong with kids getting offered Millions. Then the companies/collectives involved realized this wasn’t sustainable and the NIL market essentially fixed itself, where kids aren’t getting anywhere close to a million “unless they are extremely coveted”, yet the NCAA is freaking out because of how badly they have tried to handle the situation.

We avoided Pat Adams!

If they don't have big Z..... it's a huge spot for Aidoo tonight.

It’s because the one thing they feel they have to do is keep “pay for play” from being a thing publicly. NIL pretty much assured it would be a thing, and extremely public. They don’t like that.
