And bad news for KU ��
UNC v Pitt is going to be an epic test of a peaking offense vs a consistently ELITE defense
as you can see in the image above, Pitt's offense is peaking w their past four games being the best, best, third best and third best offensive performances against their opponents (w obv a large sample size for each game)
Pitt knows if they win they are dancing
UNC needs another win to ensure they don't fall below #5 on the snake seed line (and, as a result, should avoid being placed in a Big 3 bracket)
get your popcorn ready
Heels -7.5. Let’s hope the same team and effort show up from yesterday.
at the half
33.35 possessions
Miss St: 1.14 ppp
Rocky Top: 0.57 ppp
Rick Barnes already in postseason form.
Miss State crushes them with just 8 points from Tolu Smith.
Could be the best thing for Tennessee’s chances. LOLBarnes tho
leggo Johnnies
utep winning CUSA would be quite the turnaround considering they were garbage all season until the last few weeks.
All-in on Baylor tonight
Heels and Pitt in a physical battle.
has been a really fun game heels
buddy in my text group said Carrington is the projected fifth pick in the upcoming draft (i don't follow that stuff, nor the NBA)
Haven’t seen much of Carrington this season, but he looks really good tonight.
42 at half for akron/ohio
Impressive
W
A&M on the bubble for a month and somehow wins 3 knockout games down the stretch and beats Old Miss and Kentucky in the SEC tournament. Lololol
Where’s the guy who said Kentucky is the team nobody wants to play? lol
Tennessee and Kentucky today
State hit a 3 at the buzzer in regulation to tie off a missed UVA free throw with 5 secs to go.
UVA had multiple fouls to give.
Good run by state enjoy the ride.
Enjoy it. Because tomorrow
Does anyone know if there is somewhere to download player data? Happy to purchase but looking for spreadsheet format or equivalent. Nothing too advanced, just need like

I build a little spreadsheet myself for a player tournament draft each year but there must be a better way of getting the data out...
Thx!

Don't ask me, but here's the guy that said you don't make them 5 to 8 point dogs, or 2/1 or 3/1 on the money line. For instance, if they were 5 to 8 point dogs tonight, or 2/1 ML, which side would you have taken? LOL.
UK has a strangely weak D for Calipari teams, over the years their great length and team D was a major issue for all opponents, leading to several unexpected deep runs in the tourney. This team doesn't have that at all. I said they are a team you don't act like is +250 when they tip it up, not that they are a consistent performer. They ain't that at all.
Now there was somebody that quoted some media guys who were ballyhooing UK as somebody the 1-seeds don't want to run into.
