SMU let Lanier go because they made a big investment to get into the ACC and wanted Enfield. Enfield has said that he wouldn't have made the move if SMU had not gotten in the ACC. That was the chain reaction getting Calipari to Arkansas.

I agree with most. The only thing I will say is that by my calculation, Ament was averaging 14.7 points and 6.5 rebounds per game after the Texas game (first 15 games). Tobias Harris averaged 15.3 points and 7.3 rebounds his entire first year. Harris averaged 15.5 points and 7.3 rebounds...

I listened to a bunch of the game on radio, and Mike said “Gillespie may have barely hit Pettiford on the 3, if at all.” This was on JG’s first foul. He’s pretty straight forward, so even he thought it wasn’t much. I heard this one too, and I’m guessing Barnes thought Okpara fouled (with his...

Essentially correct, but the NET does have an efficiency component too. The other part of the NET is the team value index which includes winning against quality opponents and the location of the game.

Boswell was going to be riding the bench according to most of our fans before the season. He’s been generally much improved. But he’s still a sophomore and needs to refine his offensive game more. It’s more on the staff for not getting a shooting guard than on Boswell himself. And…I know they...

The NET gives more credit to record and margin of victory as opposed to straight efficiency. But I didn’t know that about Akron- it is kind of funny.

I don’t necessarily think they deserve to be in, but it’s for their losses against Ole Miss and MSU. They have more than just a UF win. Also beat St. John’s, Arkansas, and Kentucky. I think they are probably in if they had swapped a team like an Iowa or Clemson for two of their losses to Zona...

268 on KenPom and 361 non conference schedule. So, their midmajor conference raised their strength of schedule. They are 93 on KenPom at 31-1. That’s the issue.

Not sure what you are watching. Evans has definitely improved. I think he’s going to be a star. Estrella has been hurt off and on and can get hot, but game plans change. Boswell can be up and down, but he certainly has improved overall this year. Pretty funny since people wrote him off at the...

That was the issue though. Boozer is really not a typical freshman, even a great one. The first 5 freshmen that will be taken in the draft are elite and could all be #1 picks (or close) in other draft years. I just don’t understand why some can’t use some patience. Anyone that has watched a...

I don’t think Mashak would guard Pettiford. He would guard Hall, and ZZ would take Pettiford.

I assume you followed basketball when Barnes got here? Transfers weren’t as prevalent, and he had to totally rebuild. This certainly not his worst…by far. It’s actually probably better than the Keon Johnson team, too.

Yea, not discounting the story. I’m guessing the committee will put them in because it’s a weak bubble, and they won’t want criticism. 362 is their non conference SOS.

Part of that record is Houston, Michigan, Arizona, and Purdue. I could see Pearl dialing it back just a little going forward. If they had two more wins over teams like Iowa or Villanova, they probably get in.

Auburn doesn’t deserve it, and I’m not sure Miami does either. It doesn’t have to be one or the other. Miami has a hideous schedule. I hear stories about them getting turned down, but I have no doubt they could have scheduled a few better teams.
