    NC STATE @ MIAMI(-3.5) 2PM SAT. DEC 10, RSN, ACCNX (also BALLY SPORTS S)

    For the guy who used statistical anomaly to dismiss the performance of 4 teams and 13 wins in the tournament (calling the ACC performance in the tournament an outlier), you’re sure putting a lot of weight on a single half of basketball. And nobody here believes Miami was one of the two or four...

    NC STATE @ MIAMI(-3.5) 2PM SAT. DEC 10, RSN, ACCNX (also BALLY SPORTS S)

    You think a loss to Kansas in the Elite 8 proved the models right??? Because there’s no difference between being ranked 15-20 (where we deserved to be ranked) and 45-50 (where we were ranked… is that your point? Last year Miami’s KenPom ranking was in the high 40’s or 50’s before the...

    If my aunt had balls she’d be my uncle. That’s so silly… if this team did this and if that team did that and if the shot that was missed was made… One game can be an outlier. Three teams from the “weakest” conference making the elite 8 and 2 making the final four is not an outlier. The model...

    NC STATE @ MIAMI(-3.5) 2PM SAT. DEC 10, RSN, ACCNX (also BALLY SPORTS S)

    Kenpom has some measure of predictive value. It is not a ranking system, yet some people (including, unfortunately, the committee) insist upon using it as a ranking system. Set aside miami, for a second… last year the ACC was ranked amongst the bottom of P-5 conferences by kenpom but had the...

    NC STATE @ MIAMI(-3.5) 2PM SAT. DEC 10, RSN, ACCNX (also BALLY SPORTS S)

    How predictive was kenpom for last year’s Miami team? It’s a badly flawed ranking system because it literally ignores win/loss record and punishes a coach/team for developing players/chemistry at the expense of efficiency (ie margin of victory). This year we moved up 15 spots after the...

    NC STATE @ MIAMI(-3.5) 2PM SAT. DEC 10, RSN, ACCNX (also BALLY SPORTS S)

    The only ranking system dumber than the old BCS computers is Kenpom. You know who is ranked 11 spots ahead of us in kenpom? The 6-4 Rutgers team that we beat. I wrote a post about it a while back. Kenpom rewards teams who run up the score and punishes teams whose coaches care about wins &...

    Don’t know why Pack is getting so much burn. He's taking bad shots, playing mediocre defense, and not seeing the floor well.
