We almost saw the third of the 30+ game home winning streaks die last night, and it would have followed the precedent set by Southern Illinois and Illinois of it ending against a much inferior opponent. Gonzaga got by Saint Mary’s 62-61. It’s not often I feel confident enough to rip a coach’s decision, but […]

You all can exhale now. The NCAA updated their RPI to correct a lot (but not all) of the errors in it. Let’s close out the week with some more e-mail from witty and thoughtful readers. Ken, Do you really think Georgetown is better than GW?  This really boggles my mind because I think G’Towns […]

The oddity of last night was Southern Illinois’ national best 33-game home winning streak being snapped by a team that had the nation’s fourth-longest active losing streak, Indiana State. So we’re back to a four-way tie atop the MVC with six to play. Now to some e-mails… Ken, It is disconcerting to note that the […]

There have been a few comparisons made between this season’s Pitt squad and last season’s Boston College team. To refresh your memory, here are the similarites: – Both are/were Big East teams. – Both were expected to finish in the middle of the conference (Blue Ribbon had each forecasted for 6th). – Both had a […]

So this e-mail is from, um, some…body. It never hurts to sign your name, people. Ken, There are a few question i was hoping you could help me out with. First, I was wondering if you knew what the record is for most 40 point games in a season? Also, who you thought this year’s […]

Maybe I’ll just answer e-mail the rest of the season, or at least this week. Send me your questions, criticisms, complaints, insults, etc. Ken, Jordan Farmar is “occasionally celebrated” because he’s just a sophomore and he is one of the reasons the Bruins continue to compete in spite of a rash of injuries.  When they […]

Ryan K. had a beef with my leniency on Marco Killingsworth yesterday. So I decided to do a little investigating. How does Killingsworth’s TORate compare with other high usage players around the country? There are 27 players that have used over 30% of their team’s possessions (minimum 40% minutes played). Here are the most turnover […]

A couple of housekeeping notes. I forgot that I put together some notes on what various individual stats mean before the season. Here’s the link. It doesn’t cover everything, but I’ll add the rest shortly. Hi Ken, I love that you have added tempo-free stats for every team. Just a quick question about that. How […]
