I decided to do a quick run through of the brackets using just a few computer ratings to pick teams. It turns out that whether you use Pomeroy, Sagarin or RPI, you get pretty similar results. Surprisingly, each of the computer ratings would pick only six or seven upsets (lower seed beating higher seed) in…

Like I did last week, I’m gonna cheat again today. This time of year there are just so many good links that I’m a bit overwhelmed. So instead of giving you what I think is a good list, I’m gonna go meta on yo ass. Check out the ACC Basketblog’s links of the day. After…

Before we move on to the college basketball feast that is the NCAA Tournament, I want to look back at the ACC Tournament. Ned Barnett of the News & Observer rightly points out that the timing of the tournament final, just a few hours before the NCAA brackets are revealed, makes it easy to overlook…

Maryland and Miami both blew their chances at an at-large bid yesterday. Miami was a bit of a long shot, but Maryland really only need to win one game to get in. They didn’t and they deserve to be left out, even though some people still think they have a shot. A brief rundown of…

I finally got the final Prouty ratings done for the 2005 season. I did some fancy cut’n and past’n to get stats from conference games only, which I think is the fairest way to compare performance. It was a bit of a pain, but I did it for you. You know why? Because I love…

There is so much going on this time of year that I get overwhelmed trying to decide what’s link-worthy. There are just too many good articles. So, I’m gonna cheat and use someone else’s list. Check out the ACC BasketBlog’s Thursday links for a good list of things you can read on the john today.…

About this time last year, I was thinking of an article I could write on the upcoming ACC Tournament. I had just started my site a few weeks earlier, so anything I wrote would be critically analyzed by nearly a dozen readers. The only think I could think to write about was Randolph Childress’ amazing…

Ken Pomeroy is not an ACC guy, but he has come up with the best, most original analyis of the effects of missing Rashad McCants on UNC. It turns out that in the four games he has missed, Carolina is just as effective on offense, but much less effective on defense. Pretty interesting, huh? His…
