    Replacements Found

    I see things a little differently. Dunn starts at 2G. He fills Carrington’s spot. Ish stays as the 6th man same as last season. Corhen starts as Fede’s replacement. Kante is his backup. The twins only get PT as forwards —except if Corhen and Kante are both in foul trouble. Still need...

    This will only make you mad, but...

    They need to get rid of considering quadrants, OOC schedules, etc. and other factors in making selections. The NCAA should just use the overall NET rankings if they are using NET at all. All this use of fuzzy sub-sets of the overall NET rankings are just used to give selection committee members...

    If I Ruled the ACC & Pitt Hoops

    Just to summarize-- On the premise that the NCAA Committee continues to play its selection games (dredging up subsets of data underlying the NET ratings)---Then the ACC and Pitt need to change the way they schedule OOC games. If the committee is to play games then you need to game the system...

    If I Ruled the ACC & Pitt Hoops

    No one actually HAS to play twice in the regular season. They obviously like doing it because it is tradition--but as I said, IF I was in charge it wouldn't happen. There would be no more playing anyone twice with a league of 18 teams. A second meeting could only happen in the conference...

    If I Ruled the ACC & Pitt Hoops

    A 17 Game schedule would be played (not 18). If there are 18 teams and you play every opponent once you get 17 games. That gives you three more OOC slots (i.e., 14 vs the current 11). [The current 20 ACC games with two in December is horrible, IMHO.] A 17 game ACC schedule allows adding that...

    If I Ruled the ACC & Pitt Hoops

    1. ACC with 18 teams in 2024-25 plays a 17 game conference schedule. Play everyone once = balanced except who you get home vs away. No games until January. 2. Pitt plays an OOC tourney in a tropical place with a minimum of 3 games. 3. Pitt and Duquene host the steel bowl. 4. ACC challenge...

    Portal SZN Tracker

    Whatever the outcome they better land a guy who plays a lot bigger than 6-8. They need a player who can defend the post and rebound against 6-10 and taller opponents. Can't count on D G-D for more than a few minutes of post back-up--not strong enough inside either offensively or defensively...

    R J Davis

    Bacot will make good playing overseas for 5-10 years. He is not an NBA player unless he suddenly develops an outside game. NBA today is all about shooting the 3 Ball. Purdue's 7-4 guy is regarded as a 12 minute a game guy (6 minutes/half) as a sub when his team will play some traditional post...

    Congrats to Michigan State

    How selection should be done, IMHO: (1) Use the final overall NET rankings (or some combo of computer rankings). (2) Subtract from 68 the number of autobids not ranked within the top 68 to determine how many at large bids are available. (3) Place all autobids that are within the top 68 in...

    Brandon Johnson is visiting Pitt April 12

    Sight unseen, IMO we need a post who has the reach, bulk and hops to play equal to a decent 6-10 or taller post. A 6-8 power forward won't do unless he has the bulk and reach and hops to compete evenly with a 6-10 or taller opponent.

    Possible Replacements for FED at Center

    Is Chris Christie the next "round mound of rebound"?
  15. D

    Assuming

    Too small a data point--particularly for a guy coming off knee surgery to count on him being an upgrade over Fede---at least in my estimation. Ideally, the twins should only play forward with G D-G being only the third option in the post--In other words, IMO, we need a viable post and a decent...

    Weekend NCAAT thread

    No reason we should be upset at NC State--they have obviously earned where they are--especially now that they made the sweet 16. Rightly and justifiably Pitt fans should be upset with the selection committee and their use of "granular" data subsets within the NET ratings instead of the...

    Assuming

    That it was Capel who encouraged Fede to enter the portal--he better land a better post player to fill Fede's role. That will be easier attempted than accomplished. Kante is an unknown and G D-G and his twin are really forwards and not post players. Capel better find a good post player in the...
