Jeff Van Gundy, hands down

If by "regression analysis", you mean "average" then yeah, sure.

I'm a (relatively) newly-wed, and when my wife and I were inviting people to our wedding, we learned that the logic of "How can we not invite person X, if we invited person Y?" quickly led to inviting everyone you've ever met. Having said that, I'd be fine with them changing the standard here...

UConn Huskies 2018 Tournament Central

Lol. If she did, more power to her.

From the UConn website:

It is quite simply wrong that she wouldn't be a factor as a pro. Defense is obviously her weak point, and she's going to get pushed around a little, but with her length, height, and quickness, she's got a lot of upside. At the same time, she's scoring .71 points per minute while shooting 60%...

Cap the algorithm at a 25 pt margin of victory. Problem solved.

Anyone else going to the game? How early should we get there if we have general admission tickets?

That's empirically not the case. The 2009, 2010, 2014, and 2015 national championship teams only went 6 deep when the rubber met the road.

As pointed out earlier in this thread, Irwin is shooting 27% from 3 right now. Faris shot 31% her sophomore season. As a sophomore, Kelly Faris led her team in minutes played, because of the trust Geno had in her, while Irwin plays 8 mpg, mostly after the outcome of the game has been decided...
