    Bama Game Thread: Postgame Thread - Bama over The Gaels - Sweet 16 Baby

    I am well aware of the league. I told people the WCC was bad as a whole. But, you can't say "take out Gonzaga" (SM beat the m twice). The point is comparing it to a 15 seed is ridiculous. Especially when they had just beaten Vanderbilt.

    Bama Game Thread: Postgame Thread - Bama over The Gaels - Sweet 16 Baby

    I know exactly what KenPom, Torvik, and EvanMiya are used for. However, I seem to remember a majority of Auburn fans up in arms when they weren't number 1 in KenPom. I understand how the metrics are built. To say it was like a 2v15 game is extremely laughable and disingenuous.

    They are a top 25 KenPom team but, ok sure.

    Defensive Execution Under CNO

    A couple of things here: 1) CNO uses analytics with our defensive style as well. He has said this before in interviews. They want to force as many "non-rim 2's" as possible. So yes that part kind of is a product of the style 2) I know Eaglestaff was great against us but, his 3 point % isn't...

    "Physical" Basketball Teams...

    I was watching a St. Mary's game last year at midnight on a Thursday night (monetary value lol) and Doug Shows was officiating. This was the day after he just officiated our game. That is pretty ridiculous imo. It shouldn't be this way.

    Bama Game Thread: MBB Bama at Miss St Wed 1.29 8p CST SECN

    To be fair, Jarin only played 11 minutes last game. His minutes have been decreasing. Reid was also on a minutes restriction, coming off of an injury. You will definitely start seeing more Reid the healthier he becomes.

    "Physical" Basketball Teams...

    The issue is not with the SEC. There is no such thing as conference specific officials in college basketball. We see many of the same ones because a number of the more regionalized. But, you could have a referee call an SEC game on a Wednesday, and on Thursday he is calling a MWC game. I have...

    Summer Practice to Now

    Sorry that I haven't been very active on here lately. In June, I was named the head football coach at New Hope High School, in the Huntsville area, so, I have been quite busy lol. I hope to be more active now that the season is over. RTR!

    Summer Practice to Now

    You might not remember but, when Nate Oats was hired , I sent an article in here about "positionless basketball" and how the game is trending to that. That is what Nate Oats wants. The only exception, imo, is that he would like a true rim running, PNR center, just like Cliff O. Having a center...

    Jersey numbers for 2024-25

    95% of the time you are on the court without the basketball. What are you doing to help your team in that 95%. That’s why he is wearing it.

    Roster Management for 24-25

    Reid is a future pro. If we weren’t so loaded we would be talking about him potentially being our best player. It’s very possible that he starts. I think he ends up being the first guy off the bench but he is a potential starter. He is actually the 2nd highest rated recruit we have ever signed.

    Roster Management for 24-25

    I don't necessarily think it does because of Sears size. The difference with Stevenson is that he is 6'11 and has shown a good ability to knock down a 3. That is exactly what the NBA is looking for.

    Roster Management for 24-25

    I think Stevenson will come back. However, this is one of the weakest draft classes that there has been in a long time. So anything is possible.
