https://barttorvik.com/ With respect for the Pom Pom's (Pomeroy fan's if you will), Torvik is more my cup of T. We're now halfway into the conference regular season and there's some data to munch on. Shall we? According to Dr Torvik (I don't know if he's a Doctor) UConn has 3! players in the...

Of the top 25 teams currently ranked in the NET. Only 14 have a Quad 1 road win. Only 3 - UNC, UConn and Wisconsin have 2. Top 25 teams in the NET without a Q1 road win: Purdue, Iowa State, Kansas, Baylor, Duke, Illinois, Michigan State, Colorado State, Utah State. @okaforprez sr texted...

I expect the Big East to be a blood bath this year. There is potentially 7 NCAA tourney teams in our 11 team conference. Marquette, Creighton, and UConn look like Locks. I would be extremely surprised if Villanova and St. Johns don't make it. Providence has a coaching "?" and Xavier has a...

5th National Title, pre season 3rd place in the coaches poll. Spurned by the glitter boys two weeks before the season. Mocked by the softest program in the country. It's time for Danny to buy every one of the boys a red light saber. Bring this team to the dark side. I want to play angry...

Fellows in need of therapy, Casuals, It's nearly time to begin anew. But before we take the ring off like Danny, let's look back at the year that was on the Boneyard. It was nearly a year ago when we wondered who our point guard would be. Is it Andre? Could it be Newton? We debated. It...

I can't wait for the final chapter of the Marching on Series. The Season recap and interviews though out the season are now priceless. Here's what we have so far: Episode 1:

I told you. I hope you listened. I know nobody likes the "I told you so guy" and @navery12 did plug me in the post game thread. But screw it, I am taking the lap here. I hope you saw it early enough to really savor it. This was always an all time great team. I don't blame the whole of...

https://basketballwithglasses.substack.com/p/college-basketballs-fiddler-crabs Every year I pour a bunch of time into bracket prep (this year to crap effect) but one of the interesting inputs I've found in analyzing upset potential is the concept of a fiddler crab. This is a team that's really...

It’s been a tough year or so for the pillars of my preferred house of rap. MF Doom was a huge loss, and now plug 2. De La on loop until further notice.

Problem statement(s): Lack of dribble penetration offensively and on ball defense are the primary issues. Three point shooting is suffering as a result of lack of dribble penetration. Teams are overplaying on the third level. Lack of on ball defensive exposes a weakness of Adama on that end...

There once was a team from Milwaukee. whose fans were not salty nor cocky. With no hint of love we brought both of above every time the net splashed from a Hawk 3.

Pack line D you say? Let me introduce you to Joe California.

Board Hubris is at an all time high. @CL82 Please take action.

There once was a man named Jay Wright who was crowned with UConn out of sight. Then the huskies came ‘round Looking championship bound and ol’ Jay Bird got spooked and took flight.

There once was a bulldog named blue so loved that our fans loved him too. What a shame that the lad fronted a team so bad they could not even score 42.

I was was in love with a Gator Had fun but I never did date her. She blocked my advances like Wilbekin's chances of being a championship player.

I know. Hyperbole? I don’t think so. I was 8 for the dream season. I remember the entire state seemed to stop that March. I loved the run and gun teams of the mid 90. Doron’s Hail Marys. I hugged @okaforprez sr as Khalid and crew shocked the world. I was in school for Mek, Ben and Shad...

Fellow people in need of therapy, casuals, This year marks my 20th on the yard. We’ve been through a lot together, high highs and low lows. I feel like I know some of you personally. I feel like I never want to know some of you personally. We’re a big weird family. It’s concerning how much...

@August_West

No need to discuss the UConn impact here, it’s covered ad nauseum. I’ll only touch on it briefly to make my larger point. Here are the speculated scenarios currently ongoing for us: 1) Hurley is reshaping the team to fit a new offensive style around our talent. 2) Hurley is over recruiting...

This is an impossible position. We have to acknowledge that a man who has done such right, such precious inalienable right, has come to be wrong. The real problem here is nobody can replace Deepster. His pulpit casts a long shadow and from it he can declare the mojo dead. Pity any fool who...

Mighty quiet from the Jurrrdge. I know the ruling is a week away, but usually there’s some stumping by now.

I know this is largely theoretical without seeing the bracket, but pick your favorite forecast and let us know who you expect to be there and why?

Which has more mojo: Blaze pizza, Danny’s Blazer. Who is G Q now?

What we can depend on: RJ controlling the offense. Making timely shots. Playing gritty Defense. Adama drawing double and triple teams when he’s on the court. Whaley’s defense. Team rebounding. What we’ve seen about 50% of the time: Martin’s offensive aggression. Jackson facilitating well...

Hola me amigo.

We are now 4-3 on the road in conference. The one that stings for me is the SHU loss after the covid pause. Really thought we played well enough to win it. The Kadari stuff was flukey. Still, as nice as 5-2 would have been, we've largely done the job here. We only have 2 road games left in...

What about this team do you enjoy? If you’re going to say something sarcastic like nothing lately. Save it. There’s 100 threads about why you deserve better from these kids and their coach. Enjoy those, I hope it stops you from kicking your dog instead. Here’s 10 from me: I love having a...

To live and die with wide open Whaley threes that he was hitting at a 50% clip. To send everyone else to the glass the minute Whaley touched it in the wing unguarded. To not play Polley, who had O’Connell in his shirt and was getting attack iso on D. If R. Hawkins didn’t have 6 points by...

Player A: 16.4 PPG (.388 FG%), 4.9 Assists, 2.8 Rebounds, 1.5 Steals, 1.9 Turnovers Player B: 14.7 PPG (.408 FG%), 4.7 Assists, 3.5 Rebounds, .7 Steals, 2.7 Turnovers Who you got? I'll reveal the players this evening.

Happy season eve nutballs. Looking for advice from experienced BET’ers. I’d really like to do it right this year. Take time off, go start to finish, celebrate being back in the greatest conference tournament of them all. It’s a mess of resell websites out there, but from what I can tell...

Grizzled Winter Warriors, Anyone have a snowblower brand/model they swear by? Anyone have expertise in this area? Just bought a home up in Vermont and I'm getting ready for the 72" of annual snowfall expected. I don't mind spending premium dollars to increase the rate of snow removal and...

Thought he deserves a thread here for our years of celebrating his role on the wire particularly during the Omar Calhoun years. One of my favorite characters of all time. RIP.
