$8.5 million is the revenue, not UConn’s profit.

As to how an 11 seed ended up playing UConn: The 11 seed, Arizona, after winning the play-in of 11 seeds, went on to play the six seed in the first round. Arizona beat the six seed and thus was linked up with the three seed (UConn) in the next round.

I would say it’s quite a bit different. The examples you cite were all created by basketball players and coaches, and gradually became commonly accepted basketball terms.The ridiculous use of the term striker is one that is being created by an announcer who thinks it will get her some publicity.

It’s impossible to judge without more information. Players are more accurate on catch-and-shoot threes than they are on threes taken after a dribble. And threes taken after one dribble are much more accurate than threes taken after a number of dribbles. For example, the NBA charts this and has...

I have found that what comes to sports related items, AI makes mistakes on at least 90% of my queries. It obviously has made a major mistake here because they are almost never referred to the lady huskies. And when they are, it is simply incorrect.

Depends on whether Heckel was stationary when Barker left her feet.

Note that the NCAA was opposed to allowing him to play. Alabama simply found a friendly judge, who doesn’t understand the issues or doesn’t care. That’s basically the same way many of these ludicrous changes have come about.

The definition of a turnover was not different, and most teams had just as many turnovers then as they have now. I think it’s just some major inaccuracies in their data.

I am virtually sure that those stats from the 90s are flawed. For example, I checked New Orleans stats from that area. Although I could not find a yearly listing, I was able to look at the turnovers and steals of every player whose career overlapped the year 2000. Every one of those players...

According to her mother, there were other reasons: “Amy Poffenbarger, Saylor’s mother, said Monday that her daughter’s decision wasn’t based solely on basketball, although it appeared Saylor might have a tough time earning significant minutes on Auriemma’s typically deep roster. After being in...

Note that players getting a 6th year has become more common than it was five or ten years ago. That is especially true when the player is asking for a 6th year due to losing two seasons due to serious injuries. Less likely to be granted if one of the lost seasons was due to a player...

Several of the posters above are correct. As of right now, under current NCAA rules, she cannot red shirt. There is no question at all about this. Anyone who doubts it can easily access the NCAA bylaws. However, there is always a chance that the NCAA might opt to change the rule and make it more...

They were not allowed to review that non-call.

She was not allowed to appeal that play since it was a non-call, I.e. no whistle, no stoppage of apply.

How would you work a review like that when the whistle was not blown and play continued? Would the coach be allowed to charge onto the floor and stop play? Would all baskets that were made between when the disputed play occurred and when play finally stopped be wiped out?
