Message: [QUOTE="Lefty2one, post: 3433068, member: 1001"] There's some fantastic irony lost on you since KenPom's stuff entirely numbers-based that doesn't take into account many aspects of the game that only the eye can tell you. Poor shot selection or bad turnovers at the worst times, selfish plays, etc. I'm a big believer in analytics but no one advanced stat or formula ever tells the full story. I truly hope CV wins CPOY and I'm not meaning to disparage one of our own kids but it must be a rough year for the AAC if the CPOY is going to be a guy on a team in the bottom half of the conference standings putting up 14.3/6.4/2.6 on .366/.313/.896 shooting splits. The kid has a TS% of .513; that is abysmal. Dyson is my least-favorite player in program history but it's straight disrespect to say Vital was a better player. The quality of play that Dyson faced was significantly higher than what Vital has faced. We're a bad team in a bad conference. Dyson was a starter, until his injury, on a FF team in the best conference in the country. This is yet another discussion that shows there's a decent chunk of our fanbase who don't fully grasp: 1) How far the talent level in the program fell. 2) How bad the AAC is. 3) How much worse college basketball as a whole has gotten in the last decade.
