This board has not been too happy since Bragging Rights. Some reasons justified, others not so much. Although I will never tell anyone how to be a fan for their team, it's important to differentiate between the micro and macro moments/conclusions during a season. So I want to discuss out loud...

Hi Calvin, To clarify, a 16-20% usage rate is considered to be a role player. MS is "un-role player" like in shooting about 22% of the time he is used. His rebounding on defense is really good! Extremely low assist and turnover numbers are indicative of MS not being a facilitator or creator...

I am watching Xavier v Mizzou and this will likely be the worst offensive performance Xavier has all year. Less Missouri defense and more horrendous execution by Xavier. The Muskateers are shooting under 40% from 2PT, under 30% from 3PT, and under 55% from the free throw line! Under 55% from...

I absolutely cannot wait for Saturday! I posted some statistical findings for our team in the basketball thread, but wanted to post some notes/scouting report for Missouri below. All data comes from KenPom and I also have watched some Missouri basketball. Overview/Style of Play: - Missouri...

Thank you Tacomallini! Using my time in-between jobs to go for my passion of basketball analysis with an emphasis on x's and o's and analytics. As an Illinois alum I can't help but want to share findings I think everyone should see before coming to their own conclusion.

I gathered statistics from basketball reference. Once I realized how affordable KenPom was I quickly subscribed. I will be citing KenPom moving forward, but overlaps do occur in the numbers that still have me confident in my conclusion. Apologies for not citing my references earlier!

Rivals reporter Doug Bucshon has called the sun times article an absurdity and untrue.

Wanted to post some statistical findings so far this season, please see below! Offense: - Free Throw Rate: (309/353) - 27.2% of all possessions end up at the charity stripe, one of lowest in D1. This is more indicative of personnel v system IMO. Coach's spread system stresses constant attacking...

^^ Football Scoop is a must follow during the coaching carousel.

I didn't mean to cause any uproar with my future pro predictions! I just finished a film-room breakdown of Gonzaga so you can prepare for what to expect in Maui. https://bit.ly/2DribL0 Please let me know your thoughts!

Wonder if this board knows how many "dudes" aka future pros are on this team. Ayo and Tevian will absolutely be drafted. Ayo turned heads at last year's Iverson Classic, in fact the criticism of his jumper there prompted him to change his release point, which everyone is saying has made him...

Hi everyone, I recently made a film room style blog focusing on Chris Beard and his Texas Tech motion offense. I am going to make my next project about BU and his Spread Offense but would love some feedback first to know what you all would want to see. Thank you in advance! https://t.co/RocYzGcN7S

As someone from a major city in the east coast who went to school in Champaign-Urbana, I can definitely say how amazing CU is as a college town, and as independent cities. But all in all it depends on what any individual is looking for. Some people I know only wanted to go to school in a city...

Fellow Ilini Faithful, Wanted to share this video below of a college analytics expert who takes time discussing BU's pressure denial defense as it relates to the four factors of basketball. Definitely worth your time and will hopefully educate you on the defensive system that is employed. BU is...

Coach BU also utilizes post ups with the second cutter action, where instead of going to the nearby corner, his man seals off on the now strong side block. Since the 4 perimeter spots are "positionless" the bigger guards can draw attraction down low. What I'm excited for this year is the...
