    Controlling pace and ISU wins when its defense "overperforms"

    Great analysis, and thanks for doing this. In essence, it validates what many have been saying all along: If ISU brings its best defense (and your defense seems to be improving of late), it has a very, very good shot at winning. The good news for ISU is that your losses have been based on...

    Some scouting on Virginia from a Hoo

    Thanks Bawbie. Some responses. 1. When I said we don't intentionally slow it down, we don't. We look for the best shot we can get. If that comes 10 seconds into the clock, then great. If it comes 28 seconds into the clock, then that's a bit nerve wracking, but it's fine. We DO sometimes rest a...

    Sorry to make my first posting a new thread, but I spent some time writing this up, and none of the other threads seemed exactly right for it.
