I’ll bring this back to college hoops eventually. But first, I’ve got data to show that betting on NFL point spreads is like playing the slots in that you have no control over whether you win or lose. I know, you think you are the exception. You study the trends and wait for Donny Gridiron’s […]

It’s tough to find a preview of Florida that doesn’t mention Patric Young and his inevitable breakout season. You also can’t read about Young without hearing about his appearance. The AP Style Book suggests you use “chiseled frame”, “NBA body”, or “bulging biceps” in any description of him, but some description of his physique is […]

The long-awaited pre-season ratings are here. There’s a write-up on the rating algorithm and some notable teams in College Basketball Prospectus, so you should check that out when it becomes available shortly.

Ideally, it would provide you with a complete description of the player’s role and abilities. Today represents a small step towards that ideal […]

Some guy that plays basketball for the University of Colorado. He might as well be Shane Harris-Tunks. Draft Express has 69 profiles […]

There’s an epidemic taking hold of college hoops: Too many games staged early in the season are mismatches. According to FanMatch, there were 1,451 games played from the beginning of last season through December 7. Of those games, the underdog had at most a five percent chance of winning in 288 of them.
