    Those Kenpom final four banner raising ceremonies are so exciting. Will it be televised?

    My comments about tempo are not about the number of possessions per 40 minutes, but about the tempo at which we run our offense...how quickly we move the ball, how many passes we have per possession, how hard we cut, how we screen on the ball, how we cut an screen off the ball. How hard we make...

    One more question... Do these rankings and adjustments contain conference biases?

    Yep. Okay i see it now. I still don't feel any better. I guess we will see how the season goes. Not a big fan of Taylor Swift either.

    If I have misinterpreted the meaning of these numbers, my apologies. But, while we are net #3, it seems to me there are many gremlins lurking below that number. For example, our tempo ranking, which I mentioned, and our offensive ranking based on our overall schedule - which looks to me like...

    Am I reading that correctly, our adjusted ranking based on strength of schedule is...31st?

    Yes, you are right. My bad. I forgot we were scoring all those points against basketball powerhouses like... Jackson St. LIU Colgate FGCU UTRGV My critical thinking skills are obviously lacking. I have no clue how our wonderful offense resulted in a 0-30 run by UCONN. My lanta indeed.

    Yes. That is exactly what I am saying. Fortunately we have talented, skilled, offensive players, that can still score despite our bad offense. And, we get to the foul line which masks and distorts an otherwise very mediocre offense (in terms of metrics).

    Our offensive tempo is like molasses in winter. Our ball movement and player movement is a major problem. We have some players that can score downhill...otherwise, we are just not good. We have very little movement without the ball. We don't make all five of their defenders play defense all...

    If you thought we played great, you need to share whatever mushrooms you are taking.

    The mascot debate/fandom thread

    Actually the Chief is still here. He never REALLY left. Never will. Woke Minority...you know... the self-righteous, faux-moralizing, virtue-signaling, emotional parasites that latch on to any cause to inflate their status and influence to make themselves feel better about themselves. You know...

    I'm surprised they didn't call us for targeting.

    Illinois 81, Texas Tech 77 Postgame

    The weird thing is coaches/players almost always tell the refs they are going to foul to either: 1) stop the clock because they are losing, or 2) foul when they have fouls to give to milk the clock when they are winning (like last night) There is a certain amount of sportsmanship involved in...
