For my #BigDataBowl submission, I looked at punt returns and quantified expected field position in order to better isolate the decision-making and contributions of a returner. Link: kaggle.com/jacklichtenste…

@benbbaldwin Ah forgot the /stats/ part

@jacklich10 Same place rbsdm.com/stats/box_scor…

Updated the stats site (and a lot of others) to be a million times faster and have data go back to 2002. Try it out! rbsdm.com

@benbbaldwin I cannot find the box scores part of the site... where is it now?

Also put (almost) everything on one page so it's easier to navigate around. Box scores still on separate page for data pipeline reasons

SACRAMENTO 4 South Carolina punishing teams inside, Olivia Miles assisting layups and 3's for TCU

FORT WORTH 3 Texas and Madison Booker don't need to shoot 3's, Kentucky struggling to get all the way to the rim

Thread of where NCAA tournament teams like to shoot from relative to average (women's version!): FORT WORTH 1 UConn Sarah Strong midrange effect, Mikayla Blakes & Aubrey Galvan firing from long range, Fairfield picturesque shot diet

SOUTH REGION Houston getting to the float game/midrange instead of the rim, Illinois & Nebraska relying on the long ball

MIDWEST REGION Michigan gets all the way to the rim, Virginia embracing pace & space with Ryan Odom, a Nate Oats team again

Thread of where NCAA tournament teams like to shoot from relative to average: EAST REGION Crazy loaded region. Duke, UConn, Louisville embracing rim & 3's. Izzo, Pitino, Cronin just fine with some midrange

Triple crown achieved 😈 Duke becomes the first school EVER to sweep ACC football, women’s basketball, and men’s basketball titles in a single academic year 👏 (h/t @jacklich10)

Since the start of the ACC women's basketball tournament in 1978, no school has won the conference's football, women's basketball, and men's basketball titles in the same school year. If Duke wins tonight, they will become the first ever to accomplish this feat

@Primjuice_Navy Illinois was the 6th, 7th would be next. Last year teams went 36-3 after 20-0 or better H1 runs

@jacklich10 I expected it to be the first in years.... 7 in a season seems crazy.

Illinois went on a 20-0 run in the first half against UCLA and lost During the '26 season D1 vs. D1 games, 41 times a team has gone on a 20-0 run or better in the first half of a game Those teams are now 35-6 I would have thought they'd have a much higher win rate!

The initial 2026 NFL consensus draft board is live for you to check out as a Valentine's Day gift Check it out yourself here: jacklich10.com/bigboard/nfl/

I just watched The Substance and I hate to say it but one of the worst films I’ve ever seen. Insanely underwhelming considering how much it was praised upon release

Hey guys would you rather trade up for Kenneth Walker or stay put and draft Breece Hall? Jets made such a good decision going with their gut on Walker he’s a real difference maker out there!

@primetimeMitch LSU played a true road game at Duke and beat them and covered

Two interesting case studies in scheduling: Duke played one of the toughest non-con schedules in the country. They took their lumps, but know who they are now as ACC play begins. Six straight wins. LSU played cupcakes and is figuring out strengths and weaknesses in January.

*their, gdi

Jets catching strays at halftime of SNF for not recording a single interception over an entire season is rightfully so they're only appearance on SNF
