This is what happens when you follow Neil on Twitter, lol
He really is a Horford sophomore clone in some senses. Smart, physical, rebounds at a high level, contests everything at the rim, is very...
FTR, I like these sites and follow them, but, for the most part, they don’t offer a lot of caveats about their projections (Miya, in particular),...
Actually surprised it is only 2.5. Bama playing on its homecourt coming off a last second loss with a chance to stake a claim to a 1-seed? Those...
It's almost hilarious how even the analytics guys underrated us. KP, Torvik, Miyakawa all predicted us to be WORSE this year than last. Of course,...
And this is the rare case where the conference tournament may actually play a role. Since Tennessee, Bama, and Florida are all somewhat...
Part of it is that there are other metrics involved that aren't as favorable. We are 5th in wins above bubble, 6th in BPI, I think 6th in strength...
I’d like to see him go back to that little elbow pull up. I know it’s not the most efficient shot, but he hits it at a high rate and we usually...
But they aren’t good simply because of the resources. If that’s all it were, then it would apply to UNC, Kansas, UK, and Indiana, too. I mean,...
No. I’ve only seen one study that contrasts 1s, 2s, and all other seeds combined.
Objectively, yes, but I think the difference is far more negligible these days. I mean, look at the success of the blue bloods. Cal left for Arky,...
If we were a 4-seed, maybe. No hope for you.
We aren't that far behind Houston in most of the metrics. If we beat Bama on the road, pretty sure that could put us in position to leapfrog them....
They play at a much faster pace (78.4 to 71.9), but their points per possession are lower (1.165 to 1.161). We get more shots because we...
Kid is taking it to the rim a lot, but some of those aren't going down. He has been an exceptionally efficient scorer in the paint all year. The...
Eh, rankings don't even matter. I always thought perception on us would be mixed because we didn't beat any major opponents in the non-conference...
lol. How many national titles has UNC won in the last 20 years? Not more than we have. May be easier to get highly rated preps, but it’s a...
Statistically speaking, your chances of making the final weekend double if you are a 1-seed over a 2-seed. That's shocking, though maybe shouldn't...
And a 12-seed Butler almost beat our 5-seed that made a deep tourney run after it lost early in the SECs. And an 11-seed Michigan State bludgeoned...
No one wants to enter a tourney on a losing note. Our only two top seeds won the SECs heading into the tourney, and both made the final weekend....
