I figured you were a good student, but I guess I just meant not taking crap from guys and giving it right back when they gave it to you.
Believe it or not, I was a bar tender and server in college. I could tell you some stories...
I could write a book about the psychology of that scene.
He, she, doesn't matter. Besides in light of recent events (imaginary wives) who knows who these people really are?
You must be really upset with me the way you are jumping in conversations to make your little remarks. My goal was never to get you all worked up, sorry I did.
Only 4 teams that are in the top 20 in both offensive and defensive efficiency
Duke (2 offense, 2 defense)
UVA (7, 4)
UNC (8, 11)
Michigan State (3, 17)
Tennessee (5, 22) and Iowa State (17, 21) are both very close.
I also love that 5 of the top 10 Kenpom teams are in the top 100 of tempo and 5 are not (UVA, Michigan, and VT are in the 300s).
I'm surprised by the tempo statistic. I would have thought it was more weighted to the faster tempo.
The fact that UNC is 11th in defense is making me doubt kenpom.
So would everyone in the media. It's a false narrative that faster is "better" basketball. It may "look" prettier but it's not necessarily more efficient.
Kenpom Top 10 (# of possessions, rank)
1. Duke (75.6, 10)
2. UVA (60.8, 353)
3. Gonzaga (72.8, 40)
4. Michigan State (72.1, 72)
5. Michigan (66.0, 323)
6. UNC (77.3, 5)
7. Tennessee (69.1, 196)
8. Virginia Tech (66.3, 314)
9. Texas Tech (68.7, 216)
10. Kansas (72.2, 68)
I mean you've watched them more than me, do you disagree?
Fair enough, I've only watched the Michigan and UK games so it's a small sample size.
