  1. There has to be some type of data out there that compares 3 point percentage in the regular season versus the first round of the NCAA tournament for each team. I bet it's much lower, on average. in the 1st round. This is why I've come to fade teams like BYU that are so reliant on the 3. For whatever reason, college teams can't shoot early in the tournament.
  2. I guess it's nerves/new environment but it really feels like teams that jack a lot of 3s are always prone to upsets in the first round. Tech currently 4/21 from 3.
  3. NC State lost 5 of 6 to end the regular season, then had to win 5 straight in the ACC tournament to even make the NCAA tournament, and now they have a path to the Sweet 16. College basketball for you. Sometimes getting hot at the right time is all that matters.
  4. Beard is a great coach but this is what he's done in the last 5 years. 9-9 in Big 12 and tournament cancelled. 9-8 in Big 12 and round of 32. 10-8 in Big 12 and round of 32. Choked his fiance and fired. 7-11 in the SEC and missed the tournament. If you looked at this resume and his name was Rodney Terry there would be people on this board losing their minds.
  5. We need 30+ from Weaver against Tennessee. 1) He needs to guard 1 of Zeigler or Vescovi 2) We need a guard that attacks the rim against Tennessee's ball pressure. As aggressively as they play you have to attack them off the dribble which is Weaver > Horton. 3) Tennessee struggles a good bit on the glass at times. Weaver is a pretty good offensive rebounder.
  6. I think they will put Mitchell on Knecht. Better length to disrupt him.
  7. RT postgame. "CSU is a team that attacks the paint. They play inside out. They are elite at it. Elite passing and cutting team. I thought our guys did a really good job of taking Isaiah out and keeping them out of the paint." Just a totally lucky gameplan from Texas tonight.
  8. This St Peters vs Tennessee game always had the makings of being bad. St Peters #306 in adjO and Tennessee #3 in adjD. Going about as expected.
  9. Perception. Just go look at the people that argue "9-9 in the Big 12 is mediocre" in all the threads. 13-5 looks a lot better than 9-9 when reality is the Big 12 is just a much better conference.
  10. People really aren't factoring the SEC move into the equation. It's a significant drop-off going from the Big 12 to the SEC.
  11. Just brutal for Kentucky fans. They've been atrocious offensively for years and this year they were actually an elite offensive team. Now they get one of the worst defensive teams in Kentucky's history.
  12. I tried to tell @Derka Kentucky would be an early exit. They don't play a lick of defense.
  13. Texas is going to love the SEC in men's basketball.
  14. Shaka got 6 years of no tournament wins and there are really people that think RT is going to be fired within 2 years coming off an elite 8 run and now another tournament win in year 2. I have no clue if RT is the right guy but he definitely isn't being fired within 2 years.
  15. Yeah, I think this is why RT went bigger than he normally does with Disu and Shedrick together. The entire idea was to guard the paint and live with a few open 3s.
  16. It's just amusing that people think CSU struggled because they are "bad" offensively. They are a top 10 offense in 2p%. It's almost like you force them to shoot 3s and that helps you win. Somehow Terry doesn't get credit for this.
  17. I don't agree at all. CSU was terrible offensively because we kept them on the perimeter where they are not good. They beat you at the rim/midrange.
  18. According to T-Rank, CSU is #212 in 3p% and #8 in 2P%. This was an incredible defensive gamplan. They let a bad 3 point team jack 3s and said "we aren't getting beat to the rim." We won this game because of the defensive gameplan.
  19. It's almost like that's good defense. Their offense is predicated on back door cuts and beating teams off action. It's almost like letting them brick 3s while hedging penetration was a good gameplan.
  20. Sure and CSU normally doesn't play that poorly. It's almost like Texas beat a top 30ish kenpom team because they are pretty good.
  21. Virginia Tech wasn't even going to make the NCAA tournament until they went on an improbable run and won 4 games in the ACC tournament to get the auto bid. It's why they were an 11 seed after winning the ACC tournament.
  22. That's just college basketball for you. 90% of college basketball teams are inept for long periods of games. Some of you guys simply can't give RT any credit. He beats a top 30 kenpom team in the tournament and there are people that frame it as "they were scrubs anyways." CSU was a good match up but they are definitely not scrubs and a good college basketball team.
