    Uber

    It's super simple to use, and way cheaper than taxis. I use it on the road all the time, and have had no issues.

    Bike Recommendations

    I'll be out there less than a year, so not looking to drop a ton of coin on it.

    Mostly commuting, may carry a bag or two of groceries on it as well.

    Bike Recommendations

    I will be moving to the Bay Area (Menlo Park) at the end of the month, and I'm not going to have a car because it's so expensive. Where I'm living is about a mile (via a bike path and a little road riding) from where work, and I'm planning on getting a bike in the $300-$400 range. What...

    A look at Iowa State's Ballscreen Defense Problem

    Thanks Doc-I will point out that a ball screen was the second most frequent play type that led to a score against ISU, and they were quite bad at guarding it statistically as well as from the eye test.

    A look at Iowa State's Ballscreen Defense Problem

    A lot of that is that they were playing better teams from January on, with no real gimme's, and KenPom, despite some adjustments, still tends to over reward beating (Or in this case, shutting down) bad teams.

    A look at Iowa State's Ballscreen Defense Problem

    Nope. Not if you drill it right, because a hedge/trap/flat hedge/drop hedge, etc takes a team out of running what they want. That's why NBA teams don't switch unless it's a guard to guard or big to big. You get dictated to if you switch everything.

    A look at Iowa State's Ballscreen Defense Problem

    Scoring and efficiency actually goes up the last ten minutes of games, as players are more aggressive going to the hole, get fouled more, etc. That argument is also moot because assuming a team "dials in" for only the last ten minutes of an NCAA tournament game is ludicrous.

    McAdoo can't shoot, pass, or dribble, so I wouldn't be too worried about him. They did try to down on the sideline, just not super successfully.

    Switching when you have similar guys 1-5 does leave you vulnerable to slips. It also allows good players to shoot behind screens, and can really hurt you if guys reject on balls.

    A look at Iowa State's Ballscreen Defense Problem

    Iowa State was quite good on offense this year. KenPom's adjusted offensive efficiency ranked them 6th. Defensively the Cyclones weren't as good, ranking 72nd. That number is too low for a team that has Final Four aspirations. It is also particularly troubling because of that high offense...
