January General CBB Discussion Thread (Non-BE)

Based on what I've seen in past years, the really good teams move on a pretty consistent level northward through the final. Are you sure?

Isn’t it just the difference between offensive and defensive rating?

KP NetRtg is just the moving average difference between AdjOffensive and AdjDefense. Of course, with all the special sauce adjustments for pace, strength of opponent, etc.

In the sense that the best teams can constantly improve their AdjOffense/AdjDef throughout the year , yea they could make it better.

But you’d think with having to play some quality KP ranked teams, they are going to have close games, which will have some offsetting effects on their currently bloated NetRtg.

It’s why Duke’s NetRtg was so high last year. The ACC sucked and they boatraced a ton of crap teams the whole year.
 
Can Michigan State turn the ball over any more than they have? This 2nd half has been a disaster.

To be clear, I wasn’t insulting Nebraska. I was just saying the quiet part out loud from RuffRuff’s post (and I just think the exciting whites meme is funny). That’s the “it” that HooperScooper told him to just say.

Dusty May was on a podcast (F68) talking about how they went back to finding where he was hitting shots (in high school/AAU/UNC) and working on getting him looks there.

Or another way, Hubert Davis wasn't getting him good looks based on where he was actually making them in high school and college.

Gonzaga is fraudulent

I’ll be interested to see Michigan play M State, Nebraska, and Duke. They’re definitely good, but feel a bit like Duke last year who padded metrics killing bad teams

Coaching 101. How bad is Davis and his staff?
 
The officiating in the last few minutes of Seattle/Gonzaga has been pretty bad in both directions. A Seattle player just went up, got blocked, and landed on the ground with the ball never leaving his hand, and it was a play-on. How is that possible? Either it was a jump ball or travel. No call is not one of the options.

The ACC last year was WAY worse than the teams UM is mauling. The ACC was putrid last year.

Louisville goes down at Stanford 80-76. Road conference games are always tough. Well unless it's at BC.

No Mikel Brown. Another hurt freshmen. Not sure I really consider Ville much of a threat this year - way too guard heavy.

Also, it’s how Gonzaga is able to have such gaudy KP NetRtg year after year (even when they are a good team, their KP rates them even better. This was absolutely the case last year and will likely happen again this year). They play a ton of tomato cans like Pepperidge Farm U once they hit WCC schedule.
 
Gonzaga's offense is not nearly as efficient as past Gonzaga teams. A lot of crowding, a lot of Gonzaga players stepping in front of teammates drives, a lot of not seeing the open shooter on the 3 line.
 
Seattle sputtering to the finish line, terrible 3 point shot by their PG just now
 
Seattle played like the lights were too bright the last 2-3 minutes of regulation, I don't trust them in OT
 
Seattle with a ton of horrible possessions down the stretch. Is this kid Maldonado the only one that can take a shot on that team? I can see why they are KP #227 offense

On to OT. I expect the Zags to dominate it and win by 10+.

Hard to route against the Zags. They're all the mid majors have left.

Wild box scores - all Zags scoring basically 3 guys. Lot's of 0's in starting team.

Pinnacle Bank is an absolute party right now.

Getting '90 UConn dream season vibes.

They really don’t. Our defense is better. Reed can handle Lendeborg, our bench is 2x better than theirs. Let’s see what they do against Duke. I am more impressed with them.

I think UM could beat Duke by double digits. They have answers for Boozer. UM can score from all over - Duke is Boozer.
