Similarly, anyone that wants to end drinking at the games shouldn't get to be a part of NCAA basketball. Lifetime ban.
There. Done. Problem solved via the appropriate penalty.
...Bottoms up!
The 70 point thing is based on several years of data collection that I've done (and published here, from time to time). Each year -- over 3-4 years -- the 25th percentile is basically 70 points on the dot.
Now, this doesn't mean a game can't be won with fewer points. Because 25% are. What it...
This team is going to be at least middle of the pack.
The main reasons are: (1) this team can score at least 70 on most nights; (2) and they can score in that volume by way of loading the floor with at least 3 or 4 players who can shoot; and (3) the other main factors that go into winning are...
I don't see the problem. If the market dictates $1.5M, then you pay him that. Period.
No problem, we just do what everyone else does.

Last year, I thought the Gophers' most prominent systemic deficiencies were: (1) inability to shoot the 3 reliably; (2) poor free throw shooting; (3) poor rebounding; and (4) lack of a true rim protector.
I'm love basketball but don't understand it the way I do football. That said, in my view...
But, given that UM is such a top notch school, wouldn't NIL be a HUGE boost to the school? How many schools have more successful alums than UM? Should be able to outbid virtually anyone.
Before this season, I compiled a histogram analysis of Sean Tyler's carries from the previous year. And I noted that he had a tendency to carry for negative yards, but also had a significant capacity to go all the way.
I was challenged about the losing yards observation, and i responded that...
