NCAA Tourney Thread

So if Hill had made two layups against Vandy you would be saying UF is playing great? UF lost at UK with a huge FT disparity, lost twice in Nashville in really close games UF had a chance to win at the end and beat UAR at home. All of that adds up to you thinking UF is not playing well as of late? Again had Hill made a layup or two you likely would be saying UF is playing great?

My biggest problem with this is that Coach White hasn't realized that Hill has no clutch abilities whatsoever. He failed once and then calls his number again. Both times a fail because that's what Casey Hill does. I hope he's learned his lesson to call someone else's # if the game is on the line.

Actually the transitive property probably does work in large numbers in sports, but does not work without stochastic error. Never the less, the data you cited is not a matter of transitivity or at least pure transitivitiy.

Transitivity would be something like Vandy beat UF, UAR beat Vandy, therefore UAR would beat UF. Clearly transitivity was violated in this case in the SEC this year.

The data I offered which really was a repeat of what someone earlier pointed out in either this or another thread just suggests than OU and ETSU are not only similarly ranked, but have similar offensive and defensive efficiency rankings. That means that OU and ETSU are teams of similar abilities. That does not mean UF would beat OU in a rematch despite the big win at their place. Similarly it does not mean UF will win big against ETSU.

No they're not. Iguess you'll see on Thursday.

Hey this opening round game has been pretty entertaining.

Little brother Wilbekin looks exactly like Scottie, only smaller. And he's having a solid game for Wake so far.

I hope you'll someday learn that it's Kasey, not Casey

5th grade I came in 3rd place. Get it right.

And really I was making a point on how he hopes White would figure it out by now, yet can't even get Hill's name right. I know that went over your head, glad I could help you understand:)

I'm glad you clarified. And 3rd place is pretty solid. Let's not sell yourself short here, man.

Not to one up you, and I'm not even lying, I finished 2nd in the county spelling bee in 5th grade.

Lol but seriously, that's hilarious

I grew up in rural Virginia though, so 2nd in the spelling bee there is like 2nd in the beauty pageant at a Bama sorority.

Let's take a moment to remember some of the great moments of the last couple tourneys.

Northern Iowa winning on a half court buzzer beater last year.


Two years ago, Georgia State hitting an epic 3 to take down Baylor while their injured coach (and father of the shooter) falls off his stool.


And of course, the most cold-blooded shot in tournament history last year.

Best day of the year, enjoy it, ladies and gents!

UVa down early.

UVa has 11 points in 11:30 of game time. This UNCW team is very athletic.

 

[Jbossgator8]

Wilmington too fast for UVA right now. UVA likes to play slow tight defensive games

 

[g8tr72]

I don't think UVa has the offense to come back from being down 12.
