Champion will be one of these 8

I plan to get banned from every ACC school's message board. I do a little lurking on their sites from time to time. Rarely ever post except for a select few boards. I will absolutely unload. Probably not the night of the championship or even the day after. That will be celebratory. But then it's ****ing on. I've debated what I would be willing to give up for a year if UVA won it all this year. It's pretty substantial.
True but they beat UT,UK and AU with that type D. If they do step it up look out ! Imo they still haven't played to their potential and make lots of Fr. mistakes because well they are Fr.
Will know today soon . Reid will play Fri.
What is actually an interesting Kenpom stat is that as of today Virginia has the second best overall rating (Adjusted Efficiency Margin) at +36.67 since he started in 2002 behind 2015 UK, and Gonzaga would have the fourth best at +34.74 behind those two and 2008 Kansas.
Typically the best KP team in a given year is between +31 and +33, and minus a few outliers the champion ends up +28 or above

What a sad world we live in these days. When the Chicago Bulls won their first title with MJ, me and my friends went on a rampage that involved us actually leaving the house and rampaging. At one point ended up on top of a CTA bus at Rush and Division alongside about 30 other Bulls fans.
But, I guess lighting up a bunch of message boards is cool too.
Never claimed it was cool or that I was cool. Still gonna do it.
More than "A" chance. You guys are really good. The statement says, "At the end of the regulars season, thats the following 8 teams.......". In other words, its not saying the past champions numbers are based on the regular season. Its saying, as of now, 8 teams meet those requirements. Obviously more teams could meet those criteria as the postseason moves along. That is why I said Hail misread.
Man, I dunno....They are just outside Kenpom's Top 20(27th). Only give up 67ppg. They are 12th in the NCAA in defensive FG%(39%). 6th in blocked shots(5.4)....
They ain't elite defensively. But you don't need to be. Discounting them b/c of their defense, to me, would be a mistake.
I can’t trust them, Borden. Tennessee has had teams just as good if not better than this one before and not made it to the final four. Doesn’t mean they can’t this year, but other than their final stretch of games, excluding auburn, they have been horrible on defense.
I can get on board with you on this. To an extent. I do think they CAN BE good enough(defensively). But as you state---"Will they be"?
This is fair. Tennessee is as capable of winning the whole thing as anyone this year, but I agree with the notion of not trusting a program that has never shown themselves capable of making that sort of run.
Looking forward to settling our score on Saturday. All reports indicate Travis should be good to go for that game, so I’m hoping we will be at full strength for the tiebreaker
I an also hoping you’re at full strength. I think it will be a very tight game if RT is back. I think the Vols win if he isn’t.
Yea I don’t think we can win without him. With him I like us in a close one. Should be fun
Will also be interesting to see who makes it to Sunday from the other half. I don’t see LSU getting there. I would say UT/UK is the de facto championship game, but UT has blown SECTC games against lesser competition on multiple occasions. We haven’t won a SECT since ‘79. I won’t bet us to win the thing until we do.
