    I come in peace, and I respectfully have a question

    I would say that Hurley is MUCH more demonstrative and it makes him look like an immature child. K probably said a lot of the same things (and words) just in a little more subdued manner to at least give him the appearance of being in control.

    Watching all the talking heads pick Tennessee

    I have it 80-76 Kentucky. It seems like Kenpom is counting on an off shooting night for Kentucky

    these refs are awful!!

    Only the part of the hand that is on the ball. They clearly got Amari on the lower part of his hand and onto his wrist which is a foul.

    Adjusted Scoring Margin Computer Model 3/12/2025

    For some reason Gonzaga always seems to be a "metric sweetheart". I am not sure myself. For reference, here is all of their numbers compared to us: Rank Team O-E D-E AT-E ODM-E O-30 D-30 AT-30 ODM-30 ASM-E ASM-L ASM-T 7 Gonzaga 122.60 97.20 71.00 25.40 125.20 94.80 70.80 30.40 18.03 21.52...

    UK needs to avoid Robert Morris

    I would be interested to hear your takes on what makes them a bad matchup for us. We all know that rankings and metrics can sometimes not tell the whole story. Sometimes style of play is a big factor. While I am confident in Kentucky winning this game handily, I would like to hear what in their...

    We Should Have Hired Pitino

    I think this is short-sighted. Pitino may have been better year 1, but how long will he be in the game? Pope has done very well and could conceivably be here for 20 years. There is something to be said for continuity.

    Aike’s Model - *Since 2/2 Only* - 3/9/25 Update

    Great stuff! Top three make sense to me except that I would think Auburn and Florida are a lot closer to Duke than numbers suggest.

    Aike’s Model Update - 3/5/25

    Ok...Here is my final version. It weights the last 30 days stats to matter 3 times more than early season. The stats come from the T-Rank site. The ranking is based on scoring margin which has been adjusted for oppenents faced and tempo. ASM-E is the Adjusted Scoring Margin for the season prior...

    Aike’s Model Update - 3/5/25

    Unfortunately, since the base numbers are from Kenpom and he does not have any way of filtering for certain dates, I can't. I would be intersted to see myself. My original thought was I wanted to weight the stats so that the last 10 games had 3 times the effect on the overall as the rest of the...
