Some conferences have 8 or 9 teams with a current KenPom ranking higher than 70. I don't know how it all works, but when they play each other, one team will lose and drop, right? For example, 68 Alaba ...

Good old Davidson University.

I think it is definitely true that he is stronger up on the ring. It scares me a little that the shotgun is better than last year though. And it is not clear to me why ...

Three games back:

--100 minutes, 99 points
--18 for 33 from 3
--19 for 20 FTs

His offense has been otherworldly this year.

The moral of the story- smoke all your weed when you get it- don't save any for later. Apparently that's what the 4th guy did.

Lawyers who might defend someone with this charge: it seems bizarre t ...

The Seahawks got a ton of o rebs, were on fire from 3 late, and led with 5:16 to go. Cats still win by 6. These Cats are not always silky smooth, but they are really tough about winning at the end of ...

I think when people think of "shooting", they think of things other than layups. Last night we were 10/30 from 3, not very good, but okay. On non-layup 2's we were 3/7, again not very good. ...

Given that Bob has commented on the difficulty it presents the offense when the 5 doesn't shoot the 3, I don't think we'll see 2 bigs on the floor. Kishawn and Luke are our 4's this year.

Hopefully ...

One key number omitted above may have influenced this: at the end of the game (don't know about 3q), Mariota had been sacked 6 times and lost 43 yards. That is a lot of negative yardage to overcome.

The most interesting quote from the article is this:

The model, which used team performance data to predict the outcome of games in test sets, was optimized until it was as accurate as possible.
...

Nice tournament. Nothing really great aside from the obvious 33 from 3, but lots of things to like:

- So many young players, but this team's defense seems pretty effective. Part of it is Luka's ver ...

Also, what was said on tv about that crap call on Nate where the Purdue big guy hooked Nate's arm and dragged him down? And then all of a sudden Nate was called for the foul? That baseline ref had Pu ...

I'm going with Nate because his strong contributions were very strong, and early.

I like this bench.

What is up with Jack Gibbs? He hasn't played in any of the games that last year's team (Spirou) has played so far, and he appears to be in Charlotte right now from his twitter.

In 2013, Saban said that if his players are asked to compete for 60 minutes then "you should stay there and support the team for the game."

Note the quote is from 2013. The starting QB le ...

OK. Makes sense and is (I guess) what I thought. On the other hand, seems likely that trying to run thru their kickoff defense might have resulted in some touchdowns. But then no rushing record, I gue ...
