    2024 Pac 12 Tourney thread- #3 seed MEN'S bball (Las Vegas; their 1st game vs. #6 Utah/ #11 ASU winner, Thurs., 3/14, 9:30 PM MT, FS1)

    I think I developed an ulcer this week. I had to clean through an entire travel bottle of tums yesterday.

    I refer to my previous statement on the matter:

    BPI and SOR are both used by the selection committee. NET, KenPom, KPI, BPI, and SOR are all the highlighted metrics in use this season

    Games thread- MEN'S bball ends regular season on the road @ Oregon (Thursday, 3/7/24, 7:00 PM MT; ESPN2) & OSU (Saturday, 3:00 PM MT; Pac-12 Networks)

    Factually incorrect. Palm is one of the worst in the business. They keep records of this stuff. You can look it up.

    There's also an efficiency component there -- the NET incentivizes beating the piss out of your opponent, regardless of quality. The Johnnie's won by 27, and broke 100 in doing so, on the road. It's a flawed metric, just as the RPI was, but it's what we got.

    Tad Boyle is the Greatest Coach in CU Men’s Basketball History

    Of all those critiques, most of which I vehemently disagree with, the offensive complaints have always been the most baffling to me. Year over year, cycle over cycle, our system has developed, responding both to personnel and changes to the game. Tad hired Grier in '16-17, who, at least to my...

    KP leans heavily on preseason prediction and past performance at season start. As the in-season data comes in, that 'old' data is weighted less and less, until, by now, it's not included at all.

    Don't dismiss Anderson without seeing him on the court.

    Other games & teams thread

    Then we almost have to win in Eugene. With a loss, we'd need Utah to win in the finale to force a tiebreak (which we'd win), but Utah away from home is no bueno. (this assumes a win today, of course)

    2024 MBB Dance Card Resume

    Yeah, I don't get the undying love for Wake, either.

    It would need to be top-30 Quadrant 1: Home 1-30, Neutral 1-50, Away 1-75. Quadrant 2: Home 31-75, Neutral 51-100, Away 76-135. Quadrant 3: Home 76-160, Neutral 101-200, Away 135-240. Quadrant 4: Home 161-353, Neutral 201-353, Away 241-353.

    CU MBB Rankings/NET/KenPom/Bracketology Catch-All

    Well, it does include "qualitative factors such as games missed by key players or coaches". I've been wondering if we need to pound the drum louder on the whole "we've only played 1/2 our games with our full roster" thing. Pound the drum less loudly on the "we're 10-4 in those games" thing...

    CU MBB Rankings/NET/KenPom/Bracketology Catch-All

    It's not just NET, though. We're missing top-line wins. We have a rough road record. Our strength of record and non-con SOS isn't anything to write home about. Etc. When I do direct comparisons to the resumes of other 'bubble' teams, I get why most people looking at this have us on the...

    One thing to remember in all of this is that there's usually 1-2 bid thieves per year out of the mid-majors and above. We need to be solidly in Dayton to avoid the drop. Our path to the Dance is incredibly narrow and needs a lot of help.

    Games thread- MEN'S BBall hosts Utah (Sat., 2/24/24; 7:00 PM MT; Pac-12), Cal (Wed., 2/28, 6:00 PM; Pac-12) and Stanford (Sun., 7:00 PM; FS1)

    This is the exact reason I never offer up my extra tickets when they come available -- I don't want to subject the good people of this place to 2 hours of captivity next to me.

    It's more complicated than that, but top-40 NET is a good mental baseline.
