Broome's numbers would be better if he played under Scheyer. He would run his entire offense through him more so than Pearl.

He had 22 and 11 against auburn, if that’s what you mean.

So you are adding age to the DEI equation for NPOY?
This could be the dumbest take I've heard in awhile.
100% adding age. If people want to add SOS than why can't age be added? What great teams was Broome playing against when he was Flaggs age and he was some nobody freshman at Morehead?
We aren't suggesting Broome should have been NPOY when he was Flagg's age. I believe the award is who is more deserving today.
I agree, but I also believe that contextual factors like age difference should be considered.
I don't remember this being a problem when Anthony Davis went 16-0 in league play and the next best team had like 12 losses. 😆
Anthony Davis pretty much won every award in existence that year. Duke and Flagg could do the same thing but they haven’t yet.
That old saying act like you been here before applies to the SEC homers because they can’t, it’s uncharted territory
Every passing day on here is turning me into a hater. If the SEC bombs in the tourney you all are going to hear it.

Deservedly so. But lots of metrics pointing to this being the best conference of all time. It’s not just honking. It’s facts.
Damnit man. Don't make me defend Kentucky.
2012 UK played 6 conference games against tourney teams (excluding SECT) out of 16 conference games. or 37.5%
This Duke team is likely to play 4 out of 20 conference games against tourney teams. It's really not a close comparison.
He was the best player, no one can't argue that.
Metrics doesn't equate to wins. The SEC was good last year, the Big 12 the year before that and we all know what happened.
Flagg can't touch what AD did in 2012, not even close. Especially defensively.
Second, who was ADs biggest competition in 2012? I don't even remember. Did he have someone like Broome to be compared against? Don't think your analogy works in this case.
Wasn't a KU player? Robinson? IIRC, UNC's Marshall was up there as well. Too bad he got hurt.
The starting backcourt was out (Marshall and Strickland) when we lost to KU.
Robinson was a good player but he was no match for UK's frontline.
4 and 6 aren't close?
Per Kenpom, there were three SEC teams in the top 60 that year.
"Best of all time" is far from a fact.
Plus, it assumes that this year's field compares well to past years. I'm pretty sure any team from this field would get smoked by the great teams of the past.
