    BLUM: Re-living the 96 Big 8 title game

    I enjoyed this, Blum. I would have been 11 years old at the time, probably at this game, and certainly upset as I left. Used to make the drive over every year with my parents for this tournament, always skipping a day of school for the first round. Growing up in Lawrence, I lived and breathed...

    Big 12 First Team Predictions

    I'd be surprised if it wasn't that exact five for First Team. Second team should be Carroll, Carter, and some mix of Lucas, Naz, Brodziansky, Keenan Evans, and Allen. Burton, Lattin, Iwundu, and Adrian are possible third-teamers, with Graham, Forte, Kenrich Williams, Lecomte, Phillip, and D.J...

    I think I disagree with this. Would love to be wrong.

    College Basketball Ruining The NBA?

    Some absurdly bad opinions in this thread. The NBA is in a great place right now. I'm not sure what you guys are watching.

    Sturgill Simpson: A Sailor's Guide to Earth

    On my third listen of the day. Really enjoying it. Saw him a couple months ago and it was perhaps the best show I've been to.

    So, was the foul call on Ku's guard correct or not ...

    I got over this call in like five minutes. Surly, the message board archetype of little brother syndrome, and the dumbest person on this site not named twocoach, is still arguing about it three days later. Good work, little buddy.

    Down goes Kansas

    Yeah, it's weird how unnoticed he went in conference play, too. He was significantly better than Selden, for instance, in conference play. And yet Selden ends up on the Second Team and Graham is down with the Honorable Mentions. Check this out. This is conference play this year...

    *** Other Sweet 16 Games Thread***

    Both teams have a big step down from starting bigs to backup bigs. So that Lucas/Stone call, with both guys having 3 fouls before the play, feels big.

    The Type of Team We Have Trouble With

    Northern Iowa is the worst offensive rebounding team in the country, for what it's worth. And Texas, Oklahoma, and Texas A&M all had pretty low offensive rebounding rates in their wins over ISU. Isolating your analysis to one factor like this is silly.

    Your guide to Saturday Chicago fun

    I second the recommendations for Second City and the Architectural Boat Tour (as long as it's nice enough out). And don't put ketchup on your hot dogs.

    Good job holding up the honor of the Big 8 Cyclones.

    No, they are not.

    Virginia board, if you're curious.

    The same is true of the three B12 teams that survived the opening round. Another funny thing - only five of the current top 10 teams in KenPom remain, while only one of the KenPom #11-20 group has lost in the tournament.

    Need input for an analysis

    I don't know how you would code it - I haven't used R since college - but I'm thinking a good starting point is at least a 10 point margin, and less than 5 points allowed. You can define this a bunch of ways, of course, depending how much data you want to look at. My definition above wouldn't...

    Big 12 Championship: WVU vs KU

    DraftExpress has him lower than Deonte Burton and Landen Lucas in its Junior rankings, for what it's worth.

    Positives going into the big dance

    We've lost seven of the last eight games we've played against tournament teams. Surely this will be corrected when we play different tournament teams.
