He is considering Baye a 4, which I think most people do. More broadly our weakest spot is our frontcourt player alongside Baye however you want to label it.

To me taking him is a sign we believe we are going to make due with the freshmen carrying the majority of the load at the 5 when Baye isn't playing there.

For lobbying for an undefeated acc team to be left out in favor of one loss teams from a conference, or about to join a conference, that his employer has significant interest in. Then trying to spin it like it should be because of a quarterback that got hurt after he started pushing for it to...

FSU fans suck. But Herbstreit is an *** for what he did and deserves to catch hell for it.

Is it any different than when you posted?

As a sophomore Kelly broke out and had a great season and tested the waters to get feedback on what he needed to do to make the NBA. Last year we changed coaches and by pretty much any way you look at it he didn't improve his chances of making the nba last year. Whether you think that is...

It's not an 80s mindset to consider traditional positions. It's a matter of convivence where the format has built in expectations of things often undervalued or outright ignored when fans try to take a "positionless" view of evaluating a roster such as defense and rebounding. It's easier to...

Because his production didn't really warrant it compared to his teammates. His shooting numbers weren't bad by any stretch but they were low compared to the other rotation players. For example he shot .376 from 3 which looks good. But it was last out of the players who were usually on the...

Bit surprised by Gapare entering but not overly heartbroken about it. He had raw athleticism but it never really translated into consistent performance either here or at UMass. Does open up a scholarship to take a big even if we take mccullum or pippin.

Are you confusing OU for Oklahoma State?

It's not an odd interval. Your point was that they were some great example of a team that was misevaluated because of a disproportionate emphasis on the early season non con schedule. The point I made was that even after the conclusion of their conference schedule, they still weren't anywhere...

How is a team that loses 10 of it's last 14 a cautionary tale about not overweighing early season games? Yes, they are on a tremendous run. And if they had lost any of the 5 games in the ACCT they wouldn't be in the NCAAT, and it wouldn't be because of the early season losses. It'd be because...

They lost 10 of their last 14 regular season games

Texas' non con schedule, while not strong, was nowhere near as weak as TCU's and their other metrics were better. But even if you want to include them in the same group as TCU it doesn't really change the overall point. The Big 12 got two marginal teams in same as the ACC in that case. The...

Except you are using conference wide numbers as a whole which implies that the performance of Kentucky, or any other team that got in, somehow is reflective of the conference not deserving as many invites. However, Kentucky's performance is theirs alone. Just like UVA's complete bombing isn't...

UNC making the Sweet 16 is not an argument that Pitt deserved to be in the tournament. That's an UNC accomplishment, not a Pitt one. Conferences don't play the games. Kentucky losing to Oakland is funny but there is no argument that Kentucky shouldn't have been in the tournament so how is...

I'm not sure which is worse, trying to use a single elimination tournament to make a claim about the overall level of competition between conferences or trying to use results from 5+ years ago to make an argument about why teams this year should have been gotten in instead. The next closest...

IMO more likely SMU trying to throw its money around when making a jump in conferences combined with Enfield seeing the writing on the wall at USC. He has been pretty good but also been there 11 years without any real outstanding success. Eventually a finishing 2nd or 3rd in conference and...

It's not like all of the auto bid teams are having some great seasons and do anything particularly noteworthy to deserve a spot For instance, Stetson was 19-13 overall and played 25 Q4 games, and lost 8 of them. They are in the tournament because they beat Queens (NET 268), Jacksonville (NET...

Yeah, real low seeds (12 and up) historically have no chance of making the final four. But that group is almost exclusively auto bids from low and mid major conferences. The lack of success of that group isn't really a justification for the stance of mid pack p6 teams not going further than...
