The field for the NCAA hockey tournament was announced on Sunday and it was totally determined by a rating system. Amazing concept! And sad that basketball refuses to consider it. startribune.com/ncaa-mens-hock…

@blaing99 @ThatRangerDude I agree those could be differences, but I'm not sure how (or if) they would meaningfully change the percentages. Anyway, put me on the side of: Taking the blank is fine but doing it without ever trying to generate offense is really not ideal. Looking forward to your commentary!
English
@kenpomeroy @ThatRangerDude Situational pressure, game momentum, emotional makeup of the two teams, and experience in the last 3 ends of the Brier final make this different in my mind. Admittedly, I have no numbers to back this up, and it’s tough to discuss on X…more of a podcast or YouTube kinda deal 🤔
English
Interesting for sure! I wish I was commentating this game as I had some thoughts. Honest question for analytics peeps. Aren’t some of these numbers from a weeknight game in Lloyd on tour? Do we have enough data to know that they hold the true in the final 3 ends of a Brier final?

Dunstone took the free 1.7% and ran with it. My team with OUR strengths/weaknesses would of played a corner but there was nothing mathematically wrong with a blank They knew what they were doing. They have discussed it before. Did it work? No. Would they do it again? Maybe!
English
@ThatRangerDude @blaing99 Not enough data from specifically Brier finals, of course, but I'd be curious what the difference is from a random Thursday night on tour, though. Marginally more benefit from hammer I'd assume but I'd be curious why the relative value of blank vs steal vs deuce would change much

John just calls it a blog, but the kids need to know that 20 years ago he spawned a whole generation of smarter Big Ten fans (which years later, continues to fuel my subscription numbers). Amazing times. bigtenwonk.blogspot.com

Hello, I have news!

@franfraschilla Have they though? Team with the reigning MVP was still a 15 point underdog against us. Serbia was unreal from 3-point range for 3 quarters and still lost. Int'l basketball has improved, but Team USA at its best is still a dominant force. 5 consecutive golds would be unreal.

I posted this last month. We can blame ourselves for why the world has caught up.

SOME HOOPS THOUGHTS BEFORE PARIS OLYMPICS: I’ve been asked this 10,000 times. Why is international hoops improved so much? Before the Dream Team in ‘92, great coaches like Dr. Jack Ramsey, Chuck Daly, Hubie Brown, Dean Smith & others traveled the world in the summer to give basketball clinics.

Here is @hoopvision68 (5 YEARS AGO) arguing to use WAB over quadrants. If you want to understand WAB, this is a good place to start.

Can somebody smarter than me break down what this means for the 2024-25 NCAA Tournament? (Yes I already read all the replies and the quote tweets). - How does Bart T calculate his rankings? - How is he different from Kenny P? - How is wins above bubble calculated? Cheers.

Why does Fox have Spain's name listed as ESP (for Espana), but Germany's listed as GER (rather than DEU for Deutschland)?

Congrats to Jordan who is one of most responsible and entertaining users of analytics in the field. Well deserved and a great add for Jans.
Jeff Goodman@GoodmanHoops
Mississippi State's Chris Jans is hiring Hoop Vision's Jordan Sperber to his staff, source told @TheFieldOf68. Sperber worked for Jans for one season at New Mexico State as video coordinator. Sperber has done an incredible job with Hoop Vision since starting it a handful of years ago, putting out terrific content and also consulting with college and NBA teams.

RIP my mentions, but 76 teams is totally responsible expansion and I don't understand why people are so hostile to it. It would have been cool to have had Indiana State in last season's tourney. So what if it comes with St. John's and Oklahoma joining them.

Great piece in today's @washingtonpost on the exceptional heatwave sweeping the world this month.
This is just a taste of what will become a regular occurrence if we do not urgently reduce our emissions of CO2 and other greenhouse gases: washingtonpost.com/climate-enviro…
English
@PF3Machine If that happens, we riot. I don't see why that's a reason to keep it at 68 though.
English
@kenpomeroy In theory, I don’t mind. In practice, it opens up opportunity for more egregious omissions.They won’t do it to start, but there will be a year where an Ind st (understandable this year, imo) doesn’t even make 76. Just mentally prepping for that now.
English
In '92, 5-9 Iowa State got in. There is some nostalgic idea that only the best P6 teams used to get in. But it's not true. Mediocre P6 teams got in, there were just fewer of them available so plenty of room for the best MM at-larges. That is no longer the case. Need to expand.
Dante Grasso@Yellow_Evan
@kenpomeroy sports-reference.com/cbb/seasons/me… A look at 1991 for example. 56 power conference teams. 30 got in the field. Three with below-.500 records. By comparison, I believe there were 79 power conference teams of which 35 made the field and two were sub-.500.
English
What's changed is there's less access for MM at-larges. Expanding the tourney helps with that. Anti-expansion = anti-Robbie Avila.
(On a percentage basis, I'd bet that fewer sub-.500 P5 teams get in now than in the 80s but one of you nerds should graph it up and report back.)
English
Access has improved for P5 teams as a whole because there are more of them. Creighton, Butler, Houston, BYU are now P5. It hasn't changed for individual teams.
16-12 Kentucky made the '85 tourney. 18-13 (6-8) Maryland was a 5-seed(!) in 86. 17-12 (6-8) Maryland was a 7 in '88
Matt Norlander@MattNorlander
The heart of the issue is "access" for high-major programs, which is also misleading. Between conference expansion, reduction of non-con road games and metrics working in their favor, it's just as inclusive now for power-conf teams as it's ever been. I think Ken would agree.
